What did the pilgrims eat and drink?

Answer 1

The Pilgrims often stood around the cooking pot and ate directly out of it. They didn't use forks, but had spoons and a knife. They could use their hands, if they had been washed. They thought if you had your own plate you were a show-off. If only had one chair, the father used it. Children often stood or sat at a smaller table, and only came to large table to get their trenchers(bowls) filled. Salt was sat in the middle of the table. The important people sat near the father(above the salt). Unimportant sat below the salt.

Answer 2

The first Thanksgivings blended Indian and Colonial cuisine. Most likely, there would've been turkey and foul, (which the pilgrims hunted mostly), fish and local seafood, vegetables, berries, roots, corn, potatoes, bread, etc.
