Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November.

Thanksgiving commemorates the colonial Pilgrims who had a meal with members of the Wampanoag tribe.

Thanksgiving is a time of the year that brings family and friends together to have a meal that they all can enjoy that ranges from turkey to cranberry sauce.
The most traditional food on Thanksgiving is a turkey because turkeys were larger than chickens, ducks, and geese, making them economical to serve to a crowd.

Many people also celebrate Thanksgiving because of the great food and giving back to their loved ones and those they might not know. Thanksgiving is a holiday to be thankful for and what you may get and/or have.

On the first Thanksgiving, which was in October 1621, they ate freshly killed deer, assorted wildfowl, cod, bass, and flint, and a native variety of corn harvested by the Native Americans, which was eaten as corn bread and porridge.

The foods that are commonly eaten on this day are roasted or fried turkey, stuffing or dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, corn.

Junior Antionio Best says he loves every food on the table.
