Thanksgiving: Traditional Thanksgiving
built 130 days ago
The first Thanksgiving meal was nothing like the meals of today. It was more like a giant cook out. Now, traditionally, people eat turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn in some form or other and a variety of other vegetables and side dishes. The traditional dessert is pumpkin pie and/or pecan pie.
In Canada, Thanksgiving is a three day weekend (although some provinces observe a four day weekend, Friday–Monday). Traditional Thanksgiving meals prominently feature turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, though Canada's multicultural heritage has seen some families infuse this traditional meal with elements of their traditional ethnic foods. Many Canadians ... consume pumpkin pie after their meal.
