----quote----
According to a legend, in the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth of England had participated in a harvest festival. She was having a roasted goose, when she received the news that the Spanish Armada, which had proceeded to attack England, has sunk. She was so pleased that she immediately ordered one more goose for the celebration of the good news. Later, geese became a favorite at the tables, during the harvest time in England.
When Pilgrims reached Plymouth in America, they found that wild turkeys were more easily available than the geese and hence, roasted turkey replaced roasted goose in their celebrations. Since then, turkeys have been inevitably used for Thanksgiving feast.
