I wonder if any child (or many adults) knows the origin, correct spelling or pronunciation of the original.

I relate to this from my mothers side of the family. My grandmother called it "ru vech" (the turkey). However, in my childhood home, it was very clear that turkey was called "tacchino" in Italian, and Thanksgiving was "Festa di Ringraziamento". IN-I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving as well, grazie. Between GB’s “Santo Svegeno” and Gian Banchero’s 2009 note “il Turco”, I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.
