One of the things that they always ate and ate to excess is pumpkin. Pumpkin was hugely important. New England was the pumpkin dominion. And the first American folk song was written in 1620, and it was about how they ate too much pumpkin all the time.

We know two things. We know that they had four deer that the natives brought, the 90 natives. And we know that the men went out shooting birds with the natives and the Englishmen. So birds, deer, probably shellfish, probably corn. That's what we know for sure. Lobster maybe.

What's interesting to me, if you call the meeting of indigenous people and English colonists in the early 17th century to eat food in... autumn, if you're going to call that a Thanksgiving, then the pilgrims in 1621 were not the first Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving would have been in 1607 in Phippsburg, Maine, where a failed colony was established for about a year.

it was more of a state dinner than it was a thanksgiving they were negotiating alliances they would trade with each other and they would defend each other against common enemies the food that they ate which we'll get into very soon here but is it the food that they always ate or was this some real special kind of food it was the food they usually ate.

They may have dressed it up a little bit and it would have been plentiful because of the time of year, but it was pretty much what they ate. I was gonna say one of the things that they always ate and they ate to excess and they have eaten it since 1620 and they're still eating it is pumpkin. Pumpkin was hugely important. And you know how we call people in Wisconsin cheese heads?
