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.
