On Thanksgiving Day

most of us will sit down to enjoy a turkey dinner

The bird also shows
up on the table at Christmas

How did we start with the tradition of savoring turkeys during the
holidays?
They were fresh

cheap
，
and big enough to feed a group of people

Americans like having
large poultry(
家禽
) for celebrations because they don't need to pay a lot for the birds
．
Cows were
more useful alive than dead
，
and beef wasn't widely offered until the late 19th century
．
Chicken
was more highly regarded than it is today
．
Venison(
鹿肉
) would have been another choice
，
especially during the 17th and 18th centuries
．
Eating turkey was also a British holiday custom(
风
俗，习惯
) people brought to the New World
．

Among the big birds
，
turkey is the most suitable for Thanksgiving
．
Turkeys were born in the
spring
．
They spend about seven months eating insects on the farm
．
By Thanksgiving
，
they
have grown to about 10 pounds
．
Turkeys are cheaper than geese
，
which are more difficult to
raise
，
and cheaper by the pound than chickens
．
Cost is an important factor for holiday shoppers
，
because people will not prepare just one meal
．
Thanksgiving Day is the time to bake meal and
other types of pies
．
The foods can last through the winter
