Potatoes are extremely versatile and it is simply a individual's choice and part of the U.S. and Canadian tradition to have mashed potatoes (generally with the gravy of the turkey) over top. Other facts: According to Kathleen Curtin, food historian at Plimoth Plantation, the menu of the first Thanksgiving was very different than some may think. The food consisted of seafood, wild fowl, meat, grain, vegetables, fruit, nuts, herbs and seasonings. Some of the surprising foods were lobster and eel. It is possible the vast amount of wild birds provided meat from turkey, geese, ducks, cranes, swans, partridge and eagles. Venison and seal meat may have also been served. Seasonings that may have been used were olive oil, liverwort, leeks and dried currants. There are many foods commonly prepared today that were not available on the menu.
