You may not have realized it but the domestic turkey originated in the Yucatán in Mexico.
The Aztecs had domestic turkeys before the Spanish arrived. In fact the Spanish took turkeys to Europe and domestic turkeys even came back to the Americas with the Pilgrims.
So today I am thankful to Mexico for our holiday birds.
There are also a lot of other dishes that you may have on your holiday table that originated in Latin America.
Some of them are: Sweet potatoes, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, avocados, pineapples and possibly pumpkins.
I hope you and your family enjoy your Thanksgiving -- especially the parts that are courtesy of Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
