Description
This is for a wonderful antique wooden boneless cod box & lid with fabulous advertising. Written on one end wall "Boneless Cod 5 Lbs ?? By Full Wt K. & S.A. FREEMAN BOSTON." On opposite end wall is "CAPE COD TURKEY TRADE MARK" with a faded turkey logo. There is a saying "Cape Cod Turkey" that came to mean cooked fish. "One explanation of the term centers about Thanksgiving. The traditional food for that day was, and still is, turkey. Turkey meant thankfulness to God for his bounty. However, without the fishing industry the colonists would have had very little to be thankful for. Then, too, the Irish in and around Boston used the term “Cape Cod turkey” to refer to their Friday meal of fish. Fish, and particularly salt fish, seemed to taste better if it bore the aristocratic name “Cape Cod turkey.” "
