Turkey is the symbolic food of which festival in the west.

Turkey is a symbolic food in western Thanksgiving. Turkey is docile, slow-moving, tender, and rich in protein, so it has become a very good poultry for Native Americans, supplementing protein for the aborigines, so it has also been widely cultivated.

Americans have special feelings for turkeys now. Turkey is the food of new immigrants who come to the United States for the first time. They eat turkey every Thanksgiving. The United States is also grateful for turkeys, and has gradually formed a tradition of presidential pardon for turkeys. Every Thanksgiving, the President of the United States "pardons" 1 ~ 2 turkeys. These turkeys will be raised to death and will never be slaughtered.
