Feeding The Monkey

The traditional Thanksgiving story and Black Friday are ingrained into the American culture. But how accurate is that story? Is there more to history than we’re taught in elementary school? There’s an answer, as always, and the Monkey found it enlightening. Also, everyone has their own favorite household recipe for roasting the Thanksgiving turkey (unless your family is one of those ham eating types). We look at some historical recipes, the granddaddy of all recipes, and round it out with some from modern day celebrity chefs. Maybe you’ll find your new family favorite here. As always, everything I used for research is linked at the bottom of the page in section 7. Don’t miss clicking on some of these fascinating sites.
