**The Long History of the Thanksgiving Holiday in the U.S.**
Thanksgiving, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, has its roots in a 1621 harvest feast shared between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag people. This gathering is often regarded as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. Over the centuries, the holiday evolved, with President Abraham Lincoln proclaiming a national Thanksgiving Day in 1863, amidst the Civil War, to foster unity. Today, it stands as a time-honored tradition for families across the nation to come together in gratitude.
**The Brief History of the Turducken: Stuffing Food in Food**
The turducken—a turkey stuffed with a duck that's stuffed with a chicken—has become a symbol of culinary indulgence during the holiday season. While popularized in recent decades, the concept of stuffing one animal inside another dates back centuries, known as "engastration." This practice was a display of opulence in medieval feasts. The modern turducken, often attributed to Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme in the 1970s, has since become a favorite for those seeking a lavish centerpiece for their Thanksgiving table.
