Besides the obvious turkey, there are lots of  foods that have become traditional for the Thanksgiving meal; but you might be surprised to know that many of these foods were NOT on the menu that first Thanksgiving !  Find out what they were!   According to the Mayflower Web Pages, the pilgrims would have been surprised to find any of the following foods on their table: Sweet Potatoes or yams (they hadn’t been introduced in New England)

Cranberry Sauce :  while they did have cranberries, they did not have sugar

Pumpkin Pie :  They probably did have a type of pumpkin pudding sweetened by honey or syrup
