Eat Like The Pilgrims & Native Americans This Thanksgiving
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sodexo, the leader in Quality of Life services, and the Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, Massachusetts, bring the first Thanksgiving feast to life as they tell the story of the Pilgrims and the native Wampanoag people. The meal is made up of authentic recipes from the 1600s and is served to more than 3,000 people during Thanksgiving week at the Plimoth Plantation.
Items on the menu include native turkey with giblet gravy, traditional stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, steamed white turnip, Harvard beats, green beans and cranberry relish. Dessert is comprised of apple pie, pumpkin pie and Indian pudding.
The food served has been carefully researched and recreated to make it as authentic as possible. The chefs use local, seasonal ingredients just as the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people would have in the 17th century.
The Plimoth Plantation's Indian pudding recipe brings a sense of history to the Thanksgiving table.
