  【感恩節吃火雞】

感恩節是西方國家的傳統節日,屆時放假三天,閤家團聚。在節日宴會上,有一道必不可少的特色名菜——“烤火雞”。為什麼要在感恩節都食火雞呢?這要從感恩節的由來說起。

1920年,英國一批主張改革的清教徒,因理想和抱負不能實現而退出國教,自立新教,此舉激起了英國當政者的仇恨。這些清教徒們不堪承受統治者的迫害和歧視,先逃到荷蘭,9月初,乘船遠渡重洋,準備流亡美國。船在波濤洶湧的大海中漂泊了65天,於11月終於到達了美國東海岸,在羅得島州的普羅維斯敦港登陸。

當時,此處還是一片荒涼未開墾的處女地,火雞和其他野生動物隨處可見。時值寒冬,來到陌生的地方,缺衣少食,惡劣的.環境正在威脅著他們的生命。在這生死攸關的時刻,當地的印第安人為他們磅去了食物、生活用品和生產工具,並幫助他們建立了自己的新家園。

這些英國人在安頓好新家以後,為感謝在危難之時幫助、支援過他們的印第安人,同時也感謝上帝對他們的“恩賜”,是年11月第四星期四,將獵獲的火雞製成美味佳餚,盛情款待印第安人,並與他們進行聯歡,慶祝活動持續了三天。

此後,每年11月第四個星期四都要舉行這樣的慶祝活動,除招待印第安人食烤火雞外,並在一起瘵辦射箭、跑步、摔跤等體育競賽,夜晚還圍著篝火盡情歌舞,共享歡樂。1941年,美國國會正式將每年11月第四個星期四定為“感恩節”。從此,這一節日在西方國家流行開了。那麼火雞是如何烹製的呢?

火雞即吐綬雞(Turkkey),又稱七面雞,本為野生,現已馴化為肉用家禽。全身被黑、白、深黃等色羽毛。頭、頸上部裸露,有紅珊瑚狀皮瘤,喉下有肉垂,顏色由紅到紫,可以變化。公火雞尾羽可展開呈扇形,胸前一束毛球,母火雞重為8-9千克,年產火雞蛋50-80枚,每枚蛋重20-80克。目前飼養品種以“青銅火雞”和“白色火雞”為多。

火雞以其體形大,生長迅速,抗病性強,瘦肉率高而受人矚目,可與肉用雞媲美,被譽為“造肉機器”。火雞肉不僅肉質細嫩、清淡,而且在營養價值上有“一高二低”的優點。一高是蛋白南含量高,在30%以上;二低是火雞肉在國外被認為是心腦血管疾病患者的理想保健食品,同時,火雞肉也是益氣補脾的食療佳品。目前,世界上有許多國家以火雞肉代替牛肉、豬肉、羊肉和鴨肉。
