<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>>> I remember a shiur of Kosher tidbits on OU Radio a
while back that<BR>addressed the Turkey issue (among others) and mentioned that
besides the<BR>simanim and the fact that it has been eaten for hundreds of years
there is<BR>one other factor. There was an Amora brought that
claimed to be familiar<BR>with all of the prohibited species of fowl.
Since he obviously could not<BR>have been familiar with Turkey, that would
indicate that it was not a<BR>prohibited species. <<</FONT></DIV>
