Real First Thanksgiving Wasn’t So Cozy
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009On Thursday, we Americans will mark our annual Thanksgiving holiday. It often revolves around a lavish dinner for family and friends that begins with a prayer of thanks for our blessings. The Thanksgiving tradition is modeled after harvest-home feasts – especially what’s been called the First Thanksgiving in colonial Massachusetts.
It’s the pleasant story of a cold, late-fall day in 1621, when about 50 pious English settlers called Pilgrims, who had barely survived their first winter in the New World, shared a feast with neighboring Wampanoag Indians.
But according to curators at Plimoth Plantation – a living-history museum in the same settlement where the Pilgrims and Indians marked that harvest almost 400 years ago – the Thanksgiving story is more fable than fact.

Thanksgiving Traditions: North vs. South
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009While we can’t support all Southern culinary traditions wholeheartedly (does everything have to be fried?), we will assert without a twinge of regret that a Southern Thanksgiving beats a Northern one, hands-down. Not only do Southerners not feel compelled to create a meal that unerringly honors the one our forefathers are said to have enjoyed, but they accept everyone’s contributions without reservation. As a result, the table groans with good (if unrelated) things, akin to a church potluck.
Click here to read this interesting article published by 10Best.com. They point out the distinctions between a Southern Thanksgiving and a Northern one, from side dishes to desserts to the main course.
