Maize was called "Turkish wheat," pumpkins were referred to as "Turkish cucumbers," and Meleagris gallopavo was a "turkey-cock," and, eventually, a plain old turkey.
 
Fried Chicken Originated in Scotland!

It was a Scottish tradition from the Middle Ages to deep-fry chicken.

The Scots bought this dish over to the Americas with them when immigrating
to the Southern United States, where it became a staple of American cuisine.
