America's favorite bird at mealtime on Thanksgiving Day, the turkey, was once worshipped, 300 B.C as vessels of the gods by the Mayans.
They were symbols of power and prestige and had roles in religious rites. The turkey can be found everywhere in Mayan iconography and archaeology.

What the fork? Forks, the widely used eating utensils were once considered blasphemous.
They were first introduced in Italy in the 11th century. These instruments were seen as an offence to God.
And why do you ask? They were "artificial hands" and as such were considered artificial limbs.
