Festivals are symbolic as opposed to ordinary days, which means there are iconic activities or foods. For example, roses are the symbol for Valentine's Day, and Christmas is symbolized by socks, Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and so on.

Then there is one holiday that has iconic foods that are known around the world and that is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is only more popular in the Americas; it is a national holiday in the United States, and Canada also has a tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving. But European countries such as France, England and Germany do not celebrate Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving in the United States is to eat turkey. Influenced by the United States, Canada has also started eating turkey on Thanksgiving. Why has turkey become an iconic Thanksgiving food?

The newcomers to the American continent initially survived by eating turkey, while it gradually became a must-eat Thanksgiving food as a symbol of Indian assistance to the newcomers.

But for a long time there was no set day for Thanksgiving. It was not until the 1870s that Thanksgiving became a national holiday in the United States. And the tradition of eating turkey was passed down with Thanksgiving, becoming the iconic Thanksgiving food.
