From Statesmen's Dishes, 1890: 'To prepare a turkey for Christmas dinner, the turkey should be cooped up and fed well, some time before Christmas. Three days before it is slaughtered, it should have an English walnut forced down its throat, three times a day, and a glass of sherry once a day. The meat will be deliciously tender and have a fine nutty flavor.'
