When the pilgrims arrived at Massachussets on the May Flower, they lived their first year on the boat. Native Americans came along and offered them food and shelter. That year the y celebrated what is now known as Thanksgiving. Back in those days, when Europeans rarely sailed to the Americas, the most common meat native to the Americas was turkey. Cattle, pig, sheep, goat, horse, chicken, and other meats native to Eurasia were just being introduced. Other common Thanksiving foods are corn, pumpkin, squash, and potato, all native to the new world.
