Plimoth Plantation investigates first Thanksgiving
The first Thanksgiving dinner was nothing like the turkey dinner most American families enjoy today. There was no cranberry sauce, no pumpkin pie, and it lasted three days.
Pat Greenhouse/Globe Staff
Historians at Plimoth Plantation say there’s a lot more to what really took place in autumn 1621 between the Wampanoag and the English Colonists.
Pat Greenhouse/Globe Staff
Staffers there have conducted culinary experiments in re-created 17th-century kitchens to figure out what they ate and how they cooked it.
Pat Greenhouse/Globe Staff
There were no forks. No cranberry sauce. No potatoes. No apple pie. No pumpkin pie. But the feast lasted three days.
Pat Greenhouse/Globe Staff
One of the only eyewitness accounts of the event is a letter written by Edward Winslow, who stated the feast included five deer and a lot of fowl.
Pat Greenhouse/Globe Staff
"Turkey is certainly on the list of possibilities" of fowl, said Kathleen M. Wall, Colonial foodways culinarian at Plimoth Plantation.

By the third day of the feast, meat and other leftover ingredients would have ended up in soups and stews.

Alexandra Pocknett, a food historian at Plimoth Plantation, believes there was most likely “lots of singing and dancing . . . and maybe games," including a Wampanoag sport similar to a stripped-down version of modern American football.
