The origin of Thanksgiving began in 1621 when American colonists in Plymouth,
Massachusetts and the Wampanoag Indians shared the first Thanksgiving meal.
Given some misnomers, we don't think the menu included today's traditional Thanksgiving meal favorites.
Thanksgiving historians doubt that there was pumpkin pie (sugar and flour were not available) or mashed potatoes (the Europeans still considered the potato poisonous at this time).
Original feast foods that might surprise you were fish, eel, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.
The original feast lasted three days and was based on traditional English harvest festivals that usually occurred in England around September 29th.
It wasn't until two years later in 1623, after a horrible drought, that the actual "Thanksgiving" celebration occurred.
It was called Thanksgiving because the drought finally came to an end after a period of intense praying by the colonists.
