If this had not happened would Buffalo be the choice of Thanksgiving dinners instead of that smelly bird we consumed today...

"If this had not happened would Buffalo be the choice of Thanksgiving dinners instead of that smelly bird we consumed today..."

The bird...turkey. Was one of the two animals domesticated in South America by the Natives...also, Guinna(sp) pigs.

The Spanish took the domesticated turkey back to Europe in the 1500's and the original Pilgrims to the new world brought it back to North America when they came. These domesticated turkeys brought by the Pilgrims eventually mixed with all the wild turkeys in North America. The turkey you ate today had genes brought here by the Pilgrims.

The story of the Indians introducing the turkey to the Pilgrims is just BS!

Do you have any idea how hard it would be to deep fry a buffalo?

BTW - The difference between a buffalo and a bison is that you can't wash your face in a buffalo.
