What food was commonly eaten by the pilgrims on Thanksgiving Day in the past?


What does Thanksgiving have to do with the Pilgrims?

When the pilgrims first came to North America they had a poor harvest and were dying from the lack of food. The local natives (then called Indians) showed them how to grow food locally. After their first good harvest they celebrated a day of thanksgiving and a feast to which the local natives who had helped them were invited. A day of thanksgiving and prayer was a common thing for the pilgrims to observe, for various situations. In later years the story of the Pilgrims, their travail and the help they received from the Natives, along with the peacefulness of their first harvest observance, became legendary and widely known, particularly in the New England region. This eventually was transmuted into an annual Thanksgiving as a day for family gathering and feasting.
