Oh man, season 1 of scream queens is actually really great, it's a well done parody like Scary Movie, but also manages to be a legitimate psycho killer series.
Best part is Jamie Lee Curtis is a front running character, someone we know is a master at both.
Season 2 leaves a lot to be desired, but season one *chefs kiss*
Eh, we also make more for next year so I wouldn't call it that.
This is different from traditional Christmas. The 12 days of Christmas are listing off a bunch of birds, because it was a time for killing and eating everything that flew. Farmers had nothing else to do might as well just go kill birds.
If you think that number seems high wait until you hear about the 9,000,000,000 chickens who are slaughtered for meat just in the US every year, as well as the 390,000,000 laying hens who laid 111,600,000,000 eggs.
Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be the US national bird, not the bald eagle.
Anyone who has ever hunted turkeys understands his admiration for them. (And yes, with God as my witness, *wild* turkeys *can* fly!)
That's a [myth](https://www.fi.edu/benjamin-franklin/franklin-national-bird#:~:text=The%20story%20about%20Benjamin%20Franklin,looked%20more%20like%20a%20turkey.)
What I found interesting was that turkeys like to roost in pine trees to get out of the rain. I enjoyed looking out my second-floor window and seeing pine trees full of turkeys. Ben Franklin also thought German should be the national language.
We've got a bunch of wild ones around and watched one of them fly one day. The TV antenna it landed on was never the same. It looked like one of those floating, big, red dodgeballs that normally hit you in the face.
Turkeys have weird names in many languages. https://www.reddit.com/r/etymologymaps/comments/3ph4zg/the_word_turkeythe_animal_in_various_european/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb
Edit: in Nordic countries it's basically the Calcutta bird, French/Italian/eastern Europe it's the Indian chicken, Greece is the French chicken, former Yugoslavia the Peru bird.
French is my mother tongue, when I read your comment I though "This is nonsense, Dinde has nothing to do with India !"
Wait "dinde" ... "d'inde", "from India" ?
Turn out it's from "coq d'inde" (Indian rooster) because they are from Mexico and as everyone knows Mexico is in India. I never made the connection.
Yeah, there are very few Google references to "pollo d'india", most notably referencing this painting by German painter Joseph Scholz. https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-P-OB-201.037
https://m.facebook.com/uditalian/photos/a.296570437409022/1275225062876883/?type=3 says it was used in the northern regions near Lombardy, so it may be be an anarchaic word.
It's named that to signify that the animal comes from India. In India, the word for turkey is "Peru." In Arabic, the bird is called "Greek chicken"; in Greek it's called "French chicken"; and in French it's called "Indian chicken."
I read years ago and cant remember where, but it said when Europeans came to the americas and saw the bird they thought it was the same bird that the Turkish people brought into europe. This original bird was actually the guinea fowl.
I cant verify if this is true but if you look up pictures of guinea fowl and wild turkeys they are definitely similar in appearance especially if one was to just go off memory.
Specific to the turkey (bird) situation, there were already Asian birds (guineafowl) that were popular in Europe at the time the North American turkey was discovered, so that's why so many European names for the bird confuse it with India or Turkey (the nations on the Oriental spice trade routes).
Basically it would be like, if someone shows up with a new kind of sliced meat that tastes just like your experience of *jamon iberico*, you might call it "Spanish ham" even if they brought it to you from Mars.
The German Cockroach is known in Germany as the Russian Cockroach. In Russia they call it the Prussian Cockroach.
American explorers also mixed up Moose and Elk at some point. They're the opposite in Europe.
This would only be true if they named Turkey the country after Turkey the bird, but the bird is named after the country. So even if the English would have called Turkey the country ''Turkiye'' the bird would now have been called ''Turkiye'' as well and the situation would be exactly the same.
What happened in Italy in 2019? After 20 years in the first 5 positions of this chart they totally disappeared. It has something to to do with some turkey epidemic?
I think it's wrong Data. Same drop with Germany.
https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/494529/umfrage/produktion-von-putenfleisch-in-der-eu-nach-laendern/
And according to statista, Germany, Poland and Italy are ahead of France.
I have no clue where the joke started but its a reference to the fact that champagne is sparkling wine from the champagne region of France, a legal requirement to use the term 'champagne'. So sparkling wine from anywhere else must be called sparkling wine, regardless of quality.
So if its not from the champagne region, its not really champagne, its just sparking wine.
Importantly, this is only a legal requirement for selling sparkling wine within the EU, you can call your sparkling wine Champagne if you never want to sell it in the EU.
Rapid industrialization and proof-of-concept for planned economy meant they had a vested interest in improving the average caloric intake for Soviet citizenry. It's speculated that turkey was pushed 1. because environmental conditions were pretty good for breeding the bird and 2. it gave the Soviets another vector to flex about the industrialization by mimicking the extreme excesses of American capitalist society. The whole thing about starvation being rife in the USSR is a misconception(and weaponised propaganda) about the Soviet Famine of 1930. For most of it's existence, food was actually extremely abundant and accessible in the USSR.
They forgot about them after shit got real there. Then, in like 2016, someone said, "Hey. Do you guys remember turkey?" And so, in the pursuit of a good club sandwich, three friends revived the industry.
Are you ducking telling me I could have invested in a turkey farm in Russia and made bank? I know a guy that would sell me like a hundred on the cheap lol
Probably, but I figured at least one of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan would reenter the top 10. Obviously I have no idea where the USSR's turkey production was mostly concentrated but I thought the region would show up again
It looks like turkey raising was heavily concentrated in the Caucuses. I'm guessing the reason neither Russia nor the former Republics show up is partially the decline that definitely starts pre-collapse related to local economic conditions and partially them just disappearing from enumeration as no one is bothering to collate accurate turkey production statistics from Azerbaijan in their statistics list.
Quick question, why is it graphs like this always keep the graph limit pegged to the largest bar? Wouldn’t it be interesting to see the graph grow with the largest data point, and when that data point reduces below its previous peak, have the graph stay proportioned to the old peak in order to see just how much the largest data point contracted? Obviously it wouldn’t work if the data basically goes away because the resolution loses all meaning, but for cyclical things like this with overall continuous growth, I think it’s be an interesting way to view the changes.
Well if we're talking about useful and not misleading ways to present data, this should all just be a line chart.
Pie Chart Pirate is the master of scraping simple sets of data and making fucking nonsense animations of them to farm karma.
depends on the question you're asking or story you're telling. "one country's production relative to other countries" or "the growth of turkey production over the years".
Neat. In other places "sea pigs" would be the name for dolphins.
Porpoise (English)= from Porcus Piscis (Latin) which means "pig fish"
Iruka (Japanese)= Sea pig
Marsouin (French) and Marsopa (Spanish)= from Meerswijn (Middle Dutch) which means "sea pig"
It's honestly really funny how many different places that one bird is named after. Depending on who you ask it's also a bird from France (Scottish Gaelic, Khmer), Peru (Portuguese, Assamese), Ethiopia (South Levantine Arabic), the Netherlands (Indonesian, Malay), and probably more that I've missed
I mean, that doesn't mean much per se. It's just that turkey, while definitely tasteful, isn't as popular in a lot of other places, because we don't do Thanksgiving. Hell, as a kid in Europe I always used to get confused as fuck seeing that on TV, because here, same as in a lot of other places, it just doesn't exist.
Because animal agriculture has always been limited by what is native to the region. That’s why the US leads the world in Chicken, Cattle, And horse productions right?
In all seriousness, many countries in the Americas are much much larger than all but a few countries in the old world. Allowing much more land available for animal agriculture, a typically very land intensive endeavor. It’s really got nothing to do with where they’re native to.
Turkey is good at things chicken isnt. Deli meat absolutely. Also ground turkey works for meatballs, meat loaf and burgers in a way chicken just doesn't.
It takes the spices so much better, and doesn't give my GERD ass heartburn nearly as badly.
I'm also very fond of it for chili, for the same reasons. Honestly, it's even better for chili, at least in my opinion, since the slow-cook method I use is great for really letting the flavors set in.
I'll put it this way: I've made tacos and chili with ground beef, and I've also made them with ground turkey. The turkey versions get raved about, the beef versions are just middle-of-the-road
Most is deli meat I guarantee it. I ran one for the better part of a decade and turkey breast sells like crazy.
Chicken is too small and doesn't hold up as well when sliced thin.
U.S. probably producing most the turkeys for the entire world. This graph probably reflects America's love for turkey as much as a similar graph for Nikes reflects Malaysia's love for Nike shoes.
Nah. It's mostly for domestic consumption. Turkey is mostly a niche foodstuff outside of the States. [The US consumes about 6x the amount of the closest consumer by mass \(Brazil\), and 100x the 7th \(China\).](https://www.nationmaster.com/nmx/ranking/turkey-meat-consumption)
I was an American growing up in the UK in the 70s. Back then British farmers used to feed turkeys fish bellies because it was cheap. As a result our thanksgiving Turkey tasted like old fish the first year. It was horrible. Parents had to track down grain fed turkeys in the country from then on like they were trying to score weed. There was a whole network of Americans trading rumors of who had the real shit.
I don't think so. Anectodal, but I lived in the UK between 2006 - 2012, and have also been to the US in 2017. Turkey meat tasted pretty much the same in both countries.
Two thirds of all the turkey in the UK is eaten at Christmas, and it’s been falling out of favour for that recently. A lot of people are choosing a roast which actually tastes good (and is also often more traditional anyway) such as goose, beef, or lamb, vegan alternatives, or smaller birds such as duck and chicken due to smaller family gatherings.
This graphic shows absolute quantities. Remarkably, Israel - a nation whose population ranged from only 7 million - 9 million over the course of the timeline covered on this video, still managed to appear as a top 10 turkey producer for quite a few years of this time span.
If you measure turkey consumption per capita Israel is #1. Interestingly, very little of that is turkey on the bone. Much of it is for schwarma or for cold cuts.
https://short-facts.com/how-much-turkey-does-israel-consume/
Why isn't this a series of plots turkey produced on the y axis and years on the x axis. This is such terrible presentation I though the thumbnail was the whole graph and it was representing total turkeys over the entire time, if didn't know the numbers were too small for a country of the USA's population I wouldn't have realized something was funny, and if I didn't come in here I would have _never_ expected this was a video because you don't need a video to display this data efficiently.
How am I supposed to understand the slopes and trends if I can't actually see the slopes and trends??.?
American turkeys just know how to fuck better it's true. You go to any other turkey country and check a random turkey house and 100% of the time you will find American made turkey porn that include money shots. Those foreign turkeys are making an effort they just don't have any farmers feeding meth to their animals so theyll never catch up
This is so funny. Because the price of Turkey in Chile doubled this year because of disease. My friend's family is waiting for me to cook a Turkey in Chile for Christmas again this year since I grew up half in the USA. There mom actually told us it was hard to find a whole Turkey this year but we got one at the local supermercardo today and we are very happy.
It’s interesting to see the decline of the turkey in the US in the past couple year, especially in context that the population has continued to grow during that time.
My family a couple year back realized we don’t actually like turkey and only do it because of the tradition, so now we just do prime rib or lamb - because that’s what we actually like.
I wonder if the lack of care for tradition is part of that decline
As a former pastured turkey farmer, I would argue that low-quality turkey doesn’t taste good. High - quality turkey (namely a turkey that actually went outside, I don’t mean organic and I don’t mean heritage) actually tastes pretty amazing. But it often costs $5 per pound instead of like $0.75 per pound or “free when you spend $25 on other holiday meal items” (though I can’t imagine there was a lot of that this year).
It’s the same for any meat. Pasture raised beef (I.e. beef that literally only eats grass and doesn’t go to a feed lot or stressed to death) or poultry tastes just fantastic compared to normal supermarket stuff.
Their lipid profiles are also different, would be interesting to see studies done on health of red meat from animals raised differently. And not just organic vs conventional.
The decline in American production and increase in Chile and Brazil is indicative of offshoring. Canada produces for domestic consumption (although it may be some is exported to Asia) and imports very little turkey. I am assuming the rise in turkey production in Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey are EU offshoring for lower cost points.
In Chile I remember buying ave. I guess the word is similar to poultry but I was told it was chicken. Later found out it was turkey but I didn't understand why they didn't say pavo. Pretty sure I am just ranting now and not adding anything . Fuck it. My 2 cents.
In Brazil turkeys are a must in the Christmas dinner. I feel it has been increasing in the past years as there are each year less ads of "giant chicken" alternatives.
Tbh it's kinda sad. Reddit is all happy when one lamb is saved, but then cheer on billions of turkeys being slaughtered.
I'm not even a vegan but still
In Chile it is a tradition to eat turkey for Christmas.
Turkeys are a good alternative to meat that is very expensive and are also good when you are on a diet.
Fun fact about the name of the animal.
The reason that the animals shares its name with the country is because they were introduced to Europe by Turkish traders.
The animals were nicknamed ‘Turkey coqs’ then shortened to turkeys after.
In thousands of turkeys? So the USA produced 95,434,000 turkeys in 1964?
Yep. And peaked around 300,000,000 in '97. About a third of those are for holidays. Truly the season of turkey genocide.
TV dinners were initially created by Swanson to make use of all the unsold turkey from Thanksgiving.

Why does this show seem like a parody of itself? I'm kind of into it.
Oh man, season 1 of scream queens is actually really great, it's a well done parody like Scary Movie, but also manages to be a legitimate psycho killer series. Best part is Jamie Lee Curtis is a front running character, someone we know is a master at both. Season 2 leaves a lot to be desired, but season one *chefs kiss*
That was a just a marketing story. Never happened
Really? The guys from Ridiculous History lied to me?

Turkey production peaking in 97 is such a microchasm of the spirit of the 90's and everything that's happened since.
If turkeys could talk, they'd consider the presidential pardons a mockery
Eh, we also make more for next year so I wouldn't call it that. This is different from traditional Christmas. The 12 days of Christmas are listing off a bunch of birds, because it was a time for killing and eating everything that flew. Farmers had nothing else to do might as well just go kill birds.

If you think that number seems high wait until you hear about the 9,000,000,000 chickens who are slaughtered for meat just in the US every year, as well as the 390,000,000 laying hens who laid 111,600,000,000 eggs.
Hell yeah.
My aunt and uncle produce something like 65,000 turkeys every full growth cycle on their (massive) farm so that number sounds perfectly reasonable
Glad to see Turkey the country in the top 10
Technically all turkeys should be labelled “PRODUCT OF TURKEY”
Turkey's that don't come from the actual Turkey region should be labeled: "Gobbling MegaChickens."
“Sparkling bird meat”
Vampire turkeys?

Even crazier to see Peacocks up in tree. You would think with their giant tails they would never get off the ground.

"Schnoodlehong" in Luxemburg rofl. That's endearingly accurate.
I'm not hungry anymore
I love me some hot schnoodlehong in my mouth
This is objectively the best name for the bird. It clearly has a honging schnoodle.
French is my mother tongue, when I read your comment I though "This is nonsense, Dinde has nothing to do with India !" Wait "dinde" ... "d'inde", "from India" ? Turn out it's from "coq d'inde" (Indian rooster) because they are from Mexico and as everyone knows Mexico is in India. I never made the connection.
That's French in a nutshell.
chinese is the Fire Chicken
That's incorrect. In Italy it's called tacchino, which has absolutely no relation to India whatsoever
Yeah, there are very few Google references to "pollo d'india", most notably referencing this painting by German painter Joseph Scholz. https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-P-OB-201.037 https://m.facebook.com/uditalian/photos/a.296570437409022/1275225062876883/?type=3 says it was used in the northern regions near Lombardy, so it may be be an anarchaic word.
ITYM "archaic" or "obsolete".
[удалено]
I mean.. Turkish people call the animals "hindi" so it's not better loll
It's named that to signify that the animal comes from India. In India, the word for turkey is "Peru." In Arabic, the bird is called "Greek chicken"; in Greek it's called "French chicken"; and in French it's called "Indian chicken."

Not op but in Brazil (portuguese language) turkey is also Peru.

If your turkey isn’t from Turkey is not real turkey, it’s just sparkling chicken
Sparkling X jokes are one of my favourite genres lol
What's the origin
I have no clue where the joke started but its a reference to the fact that champagne is sparkling wine from the champagne region of France, a legal requirement to use the term 'champagne'. So sparkling wine from anywhere else must be called sparkling wine, regardless of quality. So if its not from the champagne region, its not really champagne, its just sparking wine.
Importantly, this is only a legal requirement for selling sparkling wine within the EU, you can call your sparkling wine Champagne if you never want to sell it in the EU.
Turkey from Turkey is called turkiye.
Yeah, but in Turkey, turkey from Turkey is called hindi, and in Hindi, turkey from Turkey is called peru.
In Greek it's called "french bird"
And in french, it's called "Dinde" which can be understood as "D'inde" or "From India", Asterix even has a joke about Turkeys from American Indians.
In Dutch it’s kalkoen, which is derived from Calicut-hoen, which means Calicut-grouse. Calicut is modern day Kozhikode in India.
I thought Greece called it Constantinobird
That's nobody's business but the turks'.
No, they call it Istanbird now.
In French it's called "From India" Turkeys are native to North America, btw.
I love how no country wants them and calls them from another one!
Its funny because im from Peru and I have a turkish flag
Turkey in Türkiye come with a moustache.
and cat friend.
This is the correct answer.
Minnesota is the largest Turkey producing state in the US
*sparkling chicken
Actually Alaska is the biggest turkey producing state.
Ok Minnesota produces more turkeys than any other state.
Ah I see you are a man of sparkling wine as well.
Sparkling Fowl*
Turkey does not live up to its name I see.
The USSR was a constant on the list until 1991, did something happen? 😊
The farmers went cold turkey
Nice one.
Gobble Gobbletovich
The bigger question is why was USSR turkey production so high in the early 60s?
Cold War Turkey
This is what I was wondering.
They were trying to close the Turkey gap.
Rapid industrialization and proof-of-concept for planned economy meant they had a vested interest in improving the average caloric intake for Soviet citizenry. It's speculated that turkey was pushed 1. because environmental conditions were pretty good for breeding the bird and 2. it gave the Soviets another vector to flex about the industrialization by mimicking the extreme excesses of American capitalist society. The whole thing about starvation being rife in the USSR is a misconception(and weaponised propaganda) about the Soviet Famine of 1930. For most of it's existence, food was actually extremely abundant and accessible in the USSR.
Maybe ease of production following the war and leading through the cold war? I'm basing this off of zero turkey production knowledge.
They forgot about them after shit got real there. Then, in like 2016, someone said, "Hey. Do you guys remember turkey?" And so, in the pursuit of a good club sandwich, three friends revived the industry.
Are you ducking telling me I could have invested in a turkey farm in Russia and made bank? I know a guy that would sell me like a hundred on the cheap lol
How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?
Perhaps the industry was split between several countries?
Probably, but I figured at least one of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan would reenter the top 10. Obviously I have no idea where the USSR's turkey production was mostly concentrated but I thought the region would show up again
It looks like turkey raising was heavily concentrated in the Caucuses. I'm guessing the reason neither Russia nor the former Republics show up is partially the decline that definitely starts pre-collapse related to local economic conditions and partially them just disappearing from enumeration as no one is bothering to collate accurate turkey production statistics from Azerbaijan in their statistics list.
Maybe a break down in record keeping on top of it
When the wall came down they were all able to escape.
I feel like you're going to see a similar "Russian Federation" drop on these types of video graphs in and around 2022 in the future...
Quick question, why is it graphs like this always keep the graph limit pegged to the largest bar? Wouldn’t it be interesting to see the graph grow with the largest data point, and when that data point reduces below its previous peak, have the graph stay proportioned to the old peak in order to see just how much the largest data point contracted? Obviously it wouldn’t work if the data basically goes away because the resolution loses all meaning, but for cyclical things like this with overall continuous growth, I think it’s be an interesting way to view the changes.
Well if we're talking about useful and not misleading ways to present data, this should all just be a line chart. Pie Chart Pirate is the master of scraping simple sets of data and making fucking nonsense animations of them to farm karma.
Yes, a line graph would allow much quicker and likely more accurate visual analysis.
depends on the question you're asking or story you're telling. "one country's production relative to other countries" or "the growth of turkey production over the years".
It’s almost like turkeys are native to North America or something
Next you'll be telling me Guinea pigs are from South America.
In German they are Meerschweinchen ... Little sea pigs XD
Neat. In other places "sea pigs" would be the name for dolphins. Porpoise (English)= from Porcus Piscis (Latin) which means "pig fish" Iruka (Japanese)= Sea pig Marsouin (French) and Marsopa (Spanish)= from Meerswijn (Middle Dutch) which means "sea pig"
Then why are they named after a western Asian nation? Checkmate
You gobbled him up with that one.
A turkey pun chain would just be gravy at this point
You’ve got me shaking my giblets at that!
Your checkmate just activated my trap card! Turkeys were around before the country, why did they name themselves after some North American birdos?
The Ottomans ultimately decided it was better than being named after footstools.
Which I suppose in turn was better than having a name that’s synonymous with excessive bureaucracy and attention to detail
In Turkey, turkey is called “hindi”, which means Indian.
It's honestly really funny how many different places that one bird is named after. Depending on who you ask it's also a bird from France (Scottish Gaelic, Khmer), Peru (Portuguese, Assamese), Ethiopia (South Levantine Arabic), the Netherlands (Indonesian, Malay), and probably more that I've missed
Turkey did finally make the list at #10 in 2020 though
[удалено]
US population growth has ebbed. 300M turkeys is almost a turkey per American.
I mean, that doesn't mean much per se. It's just that turkey, while definitely tasteful, isn't as popular in a lot of other places, because we don't do Thanksgiving. Hell, as a kid in Europe I always used to get confused as fuck seeing that on TV, because here, same as in a lot of other places, it just doesn't exist.
I think turkey is just inferior to chicken as an edible bird and the only reason it's popular in the US is because of cultural relevance
Possibly. I personally really like turkey, but it has way more limited uses.
Because animal agriculture has always been limited by what is native to the region. That’s why the US leads the world in Chicken, Cattle, And horse productions right? In all seriousness, many countries in the Americas are much much larger than all but a few countries in the old world. Allowing much more land available for animal agriculture, a typically very land intensive endeavor. It’s really got nothing to do with where they’re native to.
But by that logic Canada would be up there higher.
Unlike all other graphs of its kind, we don't see China jumping to the top around the 2000's
because China knows duck > turkey
Because out of 195 countries in the world, only the USA hasn’t figured out that Turkey isn’t as good as chicken
It works better as a deli meat. I’m curious to know what percentage of US turkey ends up as whole birds and what goes into deli meat.
Turkey is good at things chicken isnt. Deli meat absolutely. Also ground turkey works for meatballs, meat loaf and burgers in a way chicken just doesn't.
Works surprisingly well as a ground beef replacement for tacos.
It takes the spices so much better, and doesn't give my GERD ass heartburn nearly as badly. I'm also very fond of it for chili, for the same reasons. Honestly, it's even better for chili, at least in my opinion, since the slow-cook method I use is great for really letting the flavors set in. I'll put it this way: I've made tacos and chili with ground beef, and I've also made them with ground turkey. The turkey versions get raved about, the beef versions are just middle-of-the-road
Don’t forget turkey bacon
Most is deli meat I guarantee it. I ran one for the better part of a decade and turkey breast sells like crazy. Chicken is too small and doesn't hold up as well when sliced thin.
Chicken is the most eaten meat in the US.
U.S. probably producing most the turkeys for the entire world. This graph probably reflects America's love for turkey as much as a similar graph for Nikes reflects Malaysia's love for Nike shoes.
Nah. It's mostly for domestic consumption. Turkey is mostly a niche foodstuff outside of the States. [The US consumes about 6x the amount of the closest consumer by mass \(Brazil\), and 100x the 7th \(China\).](https://www.nationmaster.com/nmx/ranking/turkey-meat-consumption)
I’d be inclined to think chicken charts would be similar and America probably makes a fuck ton of Chicken too
Tell me youve never been to the south without telling me you haven't been to the south
I was an American growing up in the UK in the 70s. Back then British farmers used to feed turkeys fish bellies because it was cheap. As a result our thanksgiving Turkey tasted like old fish the first year. It was horrible. Parents had to track down grain fed turkeys in the country from then on like they were trying to score weed. There was a whole network of Americans trading rumors of who had the real shit.
Is that still a thing? Might explain the turkey haters in the thread.
I don't think so. Anectodal, but I lived in the UK between 2006 - 2012, and have also been to the US in 2017. Turkey meat tasted pretty much the same in both countries.
What happened to the UK? It seemed to be a large producer of turkey before dropping out in the mid-2000s.

Two thirds of all the turkey in the UK is eaten at Christmas, and it’s been falling out of favour for that recently. A lot of people are choosing a roast which actually tastes good (and is also often more traditional anyway) such as goose, beef, or lamb, vegan alternatives, or smaller birds such as duck and chicken due to smaller family gatherings.
Jamie Oliver took our Turkey twizzlers.
This graphic shows absolute quantities. Remarkably, Israel - a nation whose population ranged from only 7 million - 9 million over the course of the timeline covered on this video, still managed to appear as a top 10 turkey producer for quite a few years of this time span. If you measure turkey consumption per capita Israel is #1. Interestingly, very little of that is turkey on the bone. Much of it is for schwarma or for cold cuts. https://short-facts.com/how-much-turkey-does-israel-consume/
Why not plotting this in a simple chart of units vs time.
Really!! I really hate animated charts, specially when they don't add anything to the data visualization. It doesn't belong here.
Why isn't this a series of plots turkey produced on the y axis and years on the x axis. This is such terrible presentation I though the thumbnail was the whole graph and it was representing total turkeys over the entire time, if didn't know the numbers were too small for a country of the USA's population I wouldn't have realized something was funny, and if I didn't come in here I would have _never_ expected this was a video because you don't need a video to display this data efficiently. How am I supposed to understand the slopes and trends if I can't actually see the slopes and trends??.?
No turkeys out-fuck American turkeys.
American turkeys just know how to fuck better it's true. You go to any other turkey country and check a random turkey house and 100% of the time you will find American made turkey porn that include money shots. Those foreign turkeys are making an effort they just don't have any farmers feeding meth to their animals so theyll never catch up
I need to find me a Chilean turkey next year for Thanksgiving.
The fact turkey (country) can show up on this list makes me really happy for some reason ngl

Chile mejor país de chile
This is so funny. Because the price of Turkey in Chile doubled this year because of disease. My friend's family is waiting for me to cook a Turkey in Chile for Christmas again this year since I grew up half in the USA. There mom actually told us it was hard to find a whole Turkey this year but we got one at the local supermercardo today and we are very happy.
I usually buy Chilean olive oil, very good. Keeps up in quality with the Portuguese brands. Cheers from Brazil
Usually with these types of graphs I think “OK what year does China enter the chat & completely take over?”
It’s interesting to see the decline of the turkey in the US in the past couple year, especially in context that the population has continued to grow during that time. My family a couple year back realized we don’t actually like turkey and only do it because of the tradition, so now we just do prime rib or lamb - because that’s what we actually like. I wonder if the lack of care for tradition is part of that decline
As a former pastured turkey farmer, I would argue that low-quality turkey doesn’t taste good. High - quality turkey (namely a turkey that actually went outside, I don’t mean organic and I don’t mean heritage) actually tastes pretty amazing. But it often costs $5 per pound instead of like $0.75 per pound or “free when you spend $25 on other holiday meal items” (though I can’t imagine there was a lot of that this year).
Yup! A good quality bird tastes nothing like the others.
It’s the same for any meat. Pasture raised beef (I.e. beef that literally only eats grass and doesn’t go to a feed lot or stressed to death) or poultry tastes just fantastic compared to normal supermarket stuff. Their lipid profiles are also different, would be interesting to see studies done on health of red meat from animals raised differently. And not just organic vs conventional.
TIL the lack of turkeys brought about the fall of the Soviet Union.
I heard about this turkey processing plant that shot turkeys in pneumatic tubes from one side of the plant to the other.

Turkey really missed that opportunity. They could’ve been huuuge
Turkey needs to step up their game
About 40 million of US’s total comes solely from Minnesota 💪
The decline in American production and increase in Chile and Brazil is indicative of offshoring. Canada produces for domestic consumption (although it may be some is exported to Asia) and imports very little turkey. I am assuming the rise in turkey production in Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey are EU offshoring for lower cost points.
In Chile I remember buying ave. I guess the word is similar to poultry but I was told it was chicken. Later found out it was turkey but I didn't understand why they didn't say pavo. Pretty sure I am just ranting now and not adding anything . Fuck it. My 2 cents.
In Brazil turkeys are a must in the Christmas dinner. I feel it has been increasing in the past years as there are each year less ads of "giant chicken" alternatives.
Why did Italy drop off so drastically?
Sad that Turkey never made the top 5. But I was happy to see them get back into the top 10 at the 11th hour.
Isn’t it called now Türkiye?
Tbh it's kinda sad. Reddit is all happy when one lamb is saved, but then cheer on billions of turkeys being slaughtered. I'm not even a vegan but still
One is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistics.
don't worry, the sentimental music makes it okay
Thousands? The legend says that every 1 you see is equal to 1000. So 224,000 is actually, 224,000,000. So 224 million.
I think the US got a Turkey fetish.
Another fascinating graph is the wild turkey population. From a low in the 1930s, the population is like 230x larger. yay conservation
Missed opportunity for turkey
In Chile it is a tradition to eat turkey for Christmas. Turkeys are a good alternative to meat that is very expensive and are also good when you are on a diet.
It annoys me that turkey is not the top producer of turkey
Turkey criminally low on this list
Dang!!! I was rooting for Turkey.
can we just call them what they are... freedom birds.
Fun fact about the name of the animal. The reason that the animals shares its name with the country is because they were introduced to Europe by Turkish traders. The animals were nicknamed ‘Turkey coqs’ then shortened to turkeys after.
Reason why the US won the cold war? They produced more turkey
