Israelis think the turkey came from India. That's why we call it 3oF HoDu
(as in Hindu), literally "bird of India". HoDu is a homonym that also
means "thanks, to give thanks".
Many Israelis know that it is customary to eat turkey at the
Thanksgiving holiday
meal. Half of them think turkey is served because the name of the holiday
is Thanksgiving. The other half think the holiday is called
Thanksgiving because
turkey is eaten on that day.
*The turkey is quite a strange bird.
She's really from HoDu I heard.
It's the meat from this beast
On Thanksgiving we feast.
Now isn't that really absurd?*
Chow. I mean ciao,
Israel "izzy" Cohen
