Detailed explanation-1: -After the harvest, Massasoit and about ninety other Indians joined the Pilgrims for the great English tradition of Harvest Festival. The participants celebrated for several days, dining on venison, goose, duck, turkey, fish, and of course, cornbread, the result of a bountiful corn harvest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fish and Shellfish Culinary historians believe that much of the Thanksgiving meal consisted of seafood, which is often absent from today’s menus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Did they eat turkey? We don’t think so. The Wampanoag guests brought five deer with them, so venison was on the menu. The English brought fowl, “probably migrating waterfowl like ducks and geese, which were plentiful in autumn, ” says Beahrs.
