In English there is the saying "like peas and carrots" ("like peas and carrots"). The phrase, which roughly corresponds to the German "like pitch and brimstone", should also apply to the two eponymous and currently well-known turkeys of the United States.
For as every year, the reigning US President will symbolically again this Tuesday symbolically pardon only one of the tens of millions of turkeys that land on US plates at this time each year. But for generations of US presidents, it is common that then also the second sponsored by a lobby organization of the US poultry industry animal usually pardoned even outside the ceremony. The White House has already announced that both birds will live on the University of Virginia Tech campus after the entire Bohei.
However, to first clarify the question of which of the two turkeys from the US state of South Dakota Donald Trump 2018 also pay homage publicly, the White House has set up an online poll on Monday - and also published CVs about the two birds. Including information about the favorite snacks of the two animals: M & Ms and popcorn.

After the pardoning, Peas and Carrots wants to live at Virginia Tech's "Gobblers Rest" exhibit.
Barely released, many users on Twitter already complain about this year's selection. "Give Peas a Chance," some demanded in the style of the Sixties Peace Movement, which Donald Trump does not seem to suspect.
Without any public opposition, the Christmas tree for the White House comes out. Together with his wife Melania, Trump traditionally accepted the 5.90 meter high Fraser fir on Monday with his horse and carriage at the north entrance of the White House.
The tree is from breeder Larry Smith, who is now completely on the way up. It was the "most prestigious award" he could ever get, said the 59-year-old "Charlotte Observer". He was selected by the National Christmas Tree Association in the USA. In a since 1966 existing Christmas tree competition, the breeder from the state of North Caroline prevailed.

- The White House (@ WhiteHouse) November 19, 2018How lush the deco on Trump's Christmas tree 2018 will be, will show itself in the coming days - Melania Trump should lend a hand. The Christmas tree is traditionally in the Blue Room of the White House. In 2017, the President's wife had already set a very patriotic sign - with a jewelery in the national colors blue-white-red and lots of stars.
