20 Traditional Thanksgiving Recipes for a Five-Star Feast

The first Thanksgiving in 1621 was not a quiet family dinner. It was a lively three day harvest celebration where the Pilgrims and about 90 Wampanoag shared food like venison, fish, and fowl. People ate outdoors, sat on the ground, raced each other, fired guns for fun, and tried to communicate using broken English and Wampanoag. The feast was never meant to become a holiday, but it helped create a peace treaty that lasted more than 50 years. 🦃 #thanksgiving #thanksgivinghistory #pilgrims #wampa
