We all know and love a good Christmas dinner, traditional Turkey roast with lots of vegetables and other delights to go with it. But where did this tradition come from?
Before The Turkey Dinner, in Medieval England, The traditional meat served was either peacock or Bore. It was only in the 16th Century when The Turkey was introduced as the Christmas meat. In fact, King Henry VIII was the first Monarch to have roast Turkey.
The Turkey dinner thus spread throughout the nation during the 17th century and continues to do so today, however we have introduce many other meats and poultry to our tables.
So there you have it, a little Christmas knowledge to talk over around the table.
Have a Merry Christmas!!
