Wow, big tough bird legs! Uh, I wonder what they are doing with the rest of those turkeys? I'll have to get some of those. Thanks for posting.


You know, while the turkey came from America like tomatoes and red hot peppers did, live birds were exported to most countries of the world, but Korea can't raise a turkey due to there being no live bird present. Why? Probably brought and killed off before modern recorded history. The Europeans spread turkeys, cows, red hot chilis, and many other things all over the world around 300 to 400 years ago which drastically increased food supply for much of the world leading to explosive population growth and technological development. Korea probably consumed any living examples as Korea was a very impoverished dirt poor 3rd world country that couldn't yet open up to European knowledge like it's doing today. They'd have you locked up if you showed up here 300 to 400 years ago just for being different than they are. Despite that, they still acquired foreign things such as the red hot chili pepper and zuchini squash. Plants did real well here, but not animals due to habitat destruction and harvesting any remaining examples.

This bird is raised all over the world today and didn't cause any real problems so it could live in Korea too. Uh, you can get an American largemouth bass by fishing in Andong lake though as they were brought over in the 1970's so Koreans could be American style anglers. This means they could do turkey. Afterall, they have duck.

I want fresh turkey, flathead catfish, gritty corn meal, big yeller ears of sweet corn, and pumkin pie.

Smoked duck is better. Its nice when served inside a pumpkin

Don't get me wrong, I'm cooking a fresh turkey but not everyone has an oven or wants to pay 60,000 for a Christmas buffet.

The turkey farm is too expensive and you can get one on http://ezshopkorea.com/shop/step1.php?number=42554 but it's small and expensive.

It's cheaper to get a frozen Butterball Turkey at Hannam or Haddon Market.
