Thanksgiving myths i never knew...

The first Thanksgiving was merely a celebration in thanks for a good harvest and did not become an established tradition among the colonies. Contrary to popular belief, the Pilgrims would not have eaten pumpkin pie at the first thanksgiving. When the Plymouth Pilgrims arrived in the New World, they had only a limited amount of sugar and no ovens with which to bake. Turkey would not have been a main course for the pilgrims; it was more likely that they ate venison yummmy and seafood, such as cod. The food that would have been served at the harvest meal would have consisted more of meat than of vegetables. Which honestly I would have preferred. I hate veggies.
