Today's Thanksgiving menu is very different from the first. Wildfowl, deer, eels, fish pies, nuts of all manner, squashes and pumpkins, flint corn and such were common foods of the era and would have been just some of the dishes shared in 1621.
If you're feeling adventurous this Thanksgiving, give some of the original dishes a try.
The history of the holiday meal tells us that turkey was always the centerpiece, but other courses have since disappeared
