Jim Dandy wanted to know how to say “turkey” in Spanish. I didn’t know. We recalled the word for chicken, “pollo,” and for ham, “jamón,” not to be confused with “jabón,” which means soap. Anyway, JD found that turkey is “pavo.” I subsequently wondered about the nation of Turkey, and that is “Turquía.”
