What Pilgrims and Indians Did, and Did Not, Eat at First Thanksgiving

November 22, 2018

There could have been turkey, but there almost certainly was wild duck and goose at the first Thanksgiving feast in Plymouth, Massachusetts in October 1621.

No potatoes and no pumpkin pies, for sure.

But major possibilities include venison, eels, lobster, onions, beans, lettuce, turnips, spinach, cabbage, carrots, cranberries, and corn, according to historians cited by WickedLocal.com.
