In the first Thanksgiving celebrations a thanksgiving feast was organized in which there were dishes like boiled turkey, corn, fruits, vegetables, along with fish, which was packed in salt, and meat that was smoke cured over fires.
Today, the tradition of pardoning the turkey was conceived by Harry Truman. After the Turkey gets the Presidential Pardon, it is transported to Kidwell Farm, a petting zoo at Frying Pan Park in Herndon, Virginia to be welcomed as the chief guest along with the President in a Turkey 'Roast' celebration. Here, the Turkey is not 'roasted' in the oven but through humor and turkey jokes. The Turkey gets a new home in the Turkey Barn.
