Did you know we call it turkey because English speakers thought they originated in Turkey. I read that in Turkey its called indu because the Turks thought it came from India. France agrees calling turkey dinde (d' inde)

I think Mexico has got it right an ungamely word for an ungamely-looking
creature.
isn't it pavo? I looked it up in the dictionary. There were more than 1 translation, but I'm more familiar with pavo.
I never really knew that well call turkey "turkey" because English speakers thought they originated in Turkey. But I knew that there was a connection between the country and the bird ^_^
oops pavo is the Spanish word for turkey. oops oops oops
or is it? is pavo the Mexican word for turkey too???

Yes Poli the turkey on Mexico is a Pavo, and I didn't know that the name of turkey coming from the India. Yes you are right Jessica, I will have a feast in my home with the turkey from Tomisimo, he have arrived to my cooking and he already is in the oven cooking him.

poli November 28, 2008 12:06 PM
Jorge, you don't know another word for Pavo?
I am sure I have heard the word oajalote used for turkey by what I thought was Mexicans.

Elaina November 28, 2008 12:19 PM
GUAJOLOTE..........another word for PAVO or TURKEY

CrOtALiTo November 28, 2008 01:15 PM
Yes, Elaina is right.

poli November 28, 2008 01:28 PM
Thank you Elaina. I knew there was a Mexico specific word for pavo. Gauajalote is a perfect word for turkey.:D

Elaina November 28, 2008 02:57 PM
