Turkeys spread wings in China
On Thanksgiving Day today, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) hopes to get Chinese foodies talking turkey.
Since 2005, the US state, which raises, processes and exports the most turkeys in the country, has been working to promote Thanksgiving as a holiday, and turkey as a foodstuff, in the Chinese market.
"We're very aware that Chinese like Western holidays, whether it's Valentine's Day, Christmas or other holidays," MDA's agricultural marketing services division director Kurt Markham said.
