  • Logically, I guess I should bring bacon because that's pretty much the meat people ate for every meal back then, but I know there were veggies back then too (referred to as nutjobs I think, and some still are) so I'll bring bread. I make a nice red pepper and onion bread with home-made butter.

        • It was a joke. I'm bringing pies.

          Social justice pies.

          • Seriously though, it'll be a couple pecan pies, a traditional pumpkin pie, and a maple pumpkin pie.

      • Aye! Takes less than ten minutes to make and you can keep it for three months in the freezer. And it tastes better than anything you'll buy in the shops. Plus it only has one ingredient (plus a little salt, if you like). And it's easy to flavour it up with a few herbs.

    • It is thought that they actually ate eel at the first Thanksgiving.

      • I'm guessing that's the first fresh food they could lay their hands on? At the time, where they were from, it would have been customary to eat bacon (it's the only meat that would last for long periods because it's cured).

        Apart from royalty, though, people ate a lot less meat than today. Humans in general have always eaten less meat than we modern people do. First we began to eat it every week and now most people eat it every day. From a historical perspective we look absolutely obsessed with flesh.

        Also, weird fact, the first turkeys to be eaten for Thanksgiving were imported from England.

        • That is a weird fact. I assume that the Native Americans brought the eel to the party.
