30 CLASSIC THANKIVING RECIPES
Oyster stuffing? Yes, it was a thing back in the day.
What we think like the "first"Thanksgiving was not really "Thanksgiving" at all. On the contrary, it was a rare moment and (for the most part) impromptu time the lightness of the first year of pilgrims in Plymouth Rock. This "moment", which was a feast to celebrate the first harvest, occurred on aperiod of three days in the fall of 1621.
The written archives indicate that the oldest thanksgiving featured by deer, seafood and chicken, as well as crops like beans, a pumpkin, squash and corn. Similar autumn festivals have been sporadically detained in the new world in the next century and a half, but it was not officially known as "Thanksgiving", it did not imply any kind of imperative of Turkey, until In 1789. It was the year George Washington declared a day of "Thanksgiving", to whichAlexander Hamilton supposed to have answered, "No one should refrain from having Turkey on Thanksgiving Day."
Nevertheless, Thanksgiving has not become an annual American party before 1863, whenAbraham Lincoln proclaimed it so much. At that time, white potatoes, white bread, pies (tasty and sweet), fries and cream dishes, and desserts in Galore had entered the Thanksgiving landscape, reflecting what Americans Believed to be on the table in 1621, well adapted to their contemporary tastes.
While American tastes have evolved, our Thanksgiving repertoire has evolved. Although this represents progress, some really exceptional dishes have been unleashed with the view, because new tastes and eating trends are emerging. But this is where the following vintage dishes enter, each representing the height of popularity at some point in Thanksgiving history. These dishes deserve another shot looking for their place, once again, at the Thanksgiving Table.
