KENNEBEC TURKEY

   DARE has 1975, from Gould's ME LINGO.  This looks like the same author, but earlier.

("Kennebec Turkeys are curious-looking birds, but they're nice if sauced up and spread on new baked potatoes.")

KISHKE

   DARE has 1949.

KISS THE COOK

   DARE has 1908; the person who takes the last bit of food must kiss the cook.  This poem doesn't quite say that--it's revealed at the end that the cook is the poet's wife.
   I don't know about this "kiss the cook" custom.  I thought Nigella bites.
