Thanksgiving - “The History of Thanksgiving and of Course…the Food”

Aside from wild turkey, different types of fish like cod and herring were abundant at the first feast. So was a variety of other meats like goose, duck, partridge and seafood like clams, lobsters and oysters.

Instead of rice and potatoes, the Native Americans created cornmeal from the corn they grew on their own land. Seeing they didn’t have pies for desserts, they had to make due with the fruits they had, such as berries, grapes and plums.

However, Thanksgiving isn’t all about the food. Since the first feast began, Thanksgiving has put aside the differences people have and brought them together.

If I was to choose one day to enjoy over and over again, it would be this joyful holiday because of the warmth it can bring into your life. You don’t get to see most of your relatives all the time, and on Thanksgiving you can enjoy long-lasting moments with them.

Sure the food’s delicious, but it’s more amazing to notice that you and your family are finally enjoying a day together.

If you’re looking to try to relive the first Thanksgiving feast the Pilgrims and Native Americans had, try this menu that will take you back in time!
