Turkey? Or the centrepiece dish?

[shootingstar]

I have to cook for twelve this Friday and on Thursday for 6. But no turkey either.

I perceived turkey as more of North American tendency, that is for those who choose to observe Christmas or choose to eat meat.

In his family, his mother had goose or duck. Which sounds elegant to turkey eaters here but not unusual if one thinks about the types of farmed birds common in some European countries.

Turkey is just alien to traditional Asian cuisine. Seriously, take a look at any traditional (not fusion) Asian cuisine recipe book.

I've never seen it on a traditional menu in restaurants.

So really, my parents encountered turkey for the lst time when they came Canada.
