Mmm... let's see what turkey recipes they had in 1830. Turkeys with Oysters? Turkey Pie with Tongue? (anyone have boiled pickled tongue handy?). Turkey Giblets a la Bourgeoise, with some turnips? (From The Cook's Dictionary, and House-keeper's Directory, Richard Dolby, 1830) #turkey #recipes

Hmm, apparently Americans used to eat pigeons. #pigeonpie #recipe
@ai6yr "Passenger pigeons were hunted by Native Americans, but hunting intensified after the arrival of Europeans, particularly in the 19th century. Pigeon meat was commercialized as cheap food, resulting in hunting on a massive scale for many decades." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_pigeon
