Detailed explanation-1: -It is also worth noting what was not present at the first Thanksgiving feast . There were no cloudlike heaps of mashed potatoes, since white potatoes had not yet crossed over from South America. There was no gravy either, since the colonists didn’t yet have mills to produce flour.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, to the question “What did the Pilgrims eat for Thanksgiving, ” the answer is both surprising and expected. Turkey (probably), venison, seafood, and all of the vegetables that they had planted and harvested that year-onions, carrots, beans, spinach, lettuce, and other greens.
Detailed explanation-3: -Even if turkey wasn’t on the first Thanksgiving menu, the other fowl they consumed would have been stuffed. Unlike today though, squares of bread were not used. Instead, the birds were often stuffed with onions, herbs, and nuts.
