The First
Thanksgiving
In 1621 the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians shared
an autumn harvest feast which is now known as the first
Thanksgiving. While cooking methods and table etiquette have
changed as the holiday has evolved, the meal is still consumed
today with the same spirit of celebration and overindulgence.
What Was Actually on the Menu?
What foods topped the table at the first harvest feast?
Historians aren't completely certain about the full bounty, but
it's safe to say the pilgrims weren't gobbling up pumpkin pie or
playing with their mashed potatoes. Following is a list of the
foods that were available to the colonists at the time of the
1621 feast. However, the only two items that historians know for
sure were on the menu are venison and wild fowl, which are
mentioned in primary sources.

The most detailed description of the "First Thanksgiving" is
from Edward Winslow's
Journal of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth, in 1621. |

As was reported here last week our good friend
Bea Fogelman passed on. Bea Fogelman was a Las
Vegas icon in the Impersonator genre. Her keen
knowledge of the industry had made her an
driving force for Impersonators locally and
around the world. She founded the Entertainment
Network to help assist performers, producers and
agents in pursuit of their careers. Once you
met
Bea, you were instantly drawn to her, her
kindness and generosity were so abundant it was
hard to not want to be a part of this wonderful
woman's life. Bea left behind many friends who
will genuinely miss her, I know I will!
