/Sounds like "chohm" (as in "chose") + "PEE" (as in "pea") + "peh" (as in "pet")/
Turkey (the bird) in Central America, specifically in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. It is the big bird you eat at Christmas, but every Spanish-speaking country calls it something different: "guajolote" in Mexico, "pavo" in Spain and South America, and "chompipe" in Central America. The word has indigenous roots and is deeply tied to holiday cooking traditions in the region.
“My grandma made stuffed turkey for Christmas.”
“The neighbor's turkey escaped into the yard.”
