The woodland turkey is a game bird and, to my knowledge, not
domesticated.
There are people who find them much tastier than the domestic turkey.<<
Thanks! I know that people in my Clan greatly enjoy Wild Turkey. ;-)
Nice to know that we have the citations for both kinds, even in the very
end of period. I was planning to include a can of turkey in my demo
exhibit--the food game--next week but might not.
Commercial turkey farms seem to specialize in a white-feathered bird,
which is, I suppose, the SA. The traditional Pilgrim-type darkly
variegated feathered bird would be the game bird, then?
Looking thru some illustrated books, I find Bernardo Strozzi's
(1581-1644) _The Cook_, in the Palazzo Rosso in Genoa, includes turkeys
(white) waiting to be picked. This painting is probably OOP, but gives a
look at turkeys more period than the super-breasted modern hybrids. It's
in G. Riley's _Renaissance Recipes_.
Haven't yet found Vincenzo Campi's The Poultry Seller (Cremona). I know
there were URLs posted giving web sites for food paintings, but can't
find the citations. Anybody else have them handy?
