The History of Thanksgiving Food

If you ask most people in the United States to tell you about the history behind Thanksgiving, they would probably tell you about the “First Thanksgiving” and how it was attended by pilgrims and Native Americans. However, the actual story behind the holiday is much more rich and deep. Here are just a few quick facts about Thanksgiving dinner and how we got to the holiday we have today:

• Most historians believe that desserts such as pie were most-likely not included in the “First Thanksgiving,” due to a lack of sugar and proper heating.
• The use of bread-based stuffing only became a staple of Thanksgiving dinner in the late 18th century. Before this time, it’s possible that herbs and crushed nuts were used to dress the turkey and other meats.
• Most of the food that was served at the “First Thanksgiving” was native to the Americas and was prepared mainly using Native American cooking techniques and spices.
• While most of the food served during the “First Thanksgiving” is still used today, seafood and venison were served during the first meal alongside turkey.
• Americans eat more food on Thanksgiving day than on any other day of the year!
