IT'S CRAY CRAY :0

Hi guys. I'm gonna tell you about this crazy story that happened on that unnecessary holiday Thanksgiving! ... That I'm about to look up right now (:

Kay so Thanksgiving 2012 Myths and Facts says, "Little is known about the first Thanksgiving dinner in Plimoth (also spelled Plymouth) Colony in October 1621, attended by some 50 English colonists and about 90 Wampanoag American Indian men in what is now Massachusetts.

We do know that the Wampanoag killed five deer for the feast, and that the colonists shot wild fowl—which may have been geese, ducks, or turkey. Some form, or forms, of Indian corn were also served.

But Jennifer Monac, spokesperson for the living-history museum Plimoth Plantation, said the feasters likely supplemented their venison and birds with fish, lobster, clams, nuts, and wheat flour, as well as vegetables, such as pumpkins, squashes, carrots, and peas.

"They ate seasonally," Monac said in 2009, "and this was the time of the year when they were really feasting. There were lots of vegetables around, because the harvest had been brought in."

Much of what we consider traditional Thanksgiving fare was unknown at the first Thanksgiving. Potatoes and sweet potatoes hadn't yet become staples of the English diet, for example. And cranberry sauce requires sugar—an expensive delicacy in the 1600s. Likewise, pumpkin pie went missing due to a lack of crust ingredients.

If you want to eat like a Pilgrim yourself, try some of the Plimoth Plantation's recipes, including stewed pompion (pumpkin) or traditional Wampanoag succotash."

I don't know about you but that pretty much sums it up for me! PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN DOING THE TRADITIONAL THANKS GIVING!!! I'm sorry, this post is really weak. I couldn't find any other super interesting stories. :(

If you read my other post, you would know that I don't consider Thanksgiving as an actual holiday so when I hear that people aren't even doing it right, it makes me think," Hey, if everyone actually did Thanksgiving traditionally, maybe I would..." JUST KIDDING! I probably wouldn't like it like that anyway. LOL I'm so funny!
