Venison and fowl are the only foods that we know for sure were served at the first Thanksgiving. The rest is guess work. But venison and fowl still may be found at Thanksgiving meals nowadays.

Additionally, it's possible that the first Thanksgiving meal included berries, fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Such fare is common nowadays too. For example, cranberries and pumpkins find their way onto modern Thanksgiving tables. So might they have been found during that first Thanksgiving celebration.

Which foods did the pilgrims possibly have on the first Thanksgiving?

There are no records mentioning any foods for the 1621 Thanksgiving feast other than venison (deer meet) and fowl. Some believe they probably also had seafood such as lobster and cod, and swan, duck, and turkey meat. The feast would have had more meats than vegetables, which were less bountiful, but the vegetables served would probably have been pumpkins, turnips, peas, onion, and beans. It is likely they also had fruits; possibly plums and grapes. It is doubtful they had sweet desserts, as more than likely, their supplies of sugar brought over with them would have been gone by the time the feast was held. There are some records of the first Thanksgiving celebration that it was a three-day event.
