WHAT WAS SERVED AT THE ORIGINAL THANKSGIVING MEAL? Historians have a fairly good idea what was served alongside the wild turkey, venison and fowl at the original Thanksgiving meal in 1621. Most conclude the birds were stuffed with large bits of onion and chestnuts and served with fish and shellfish, and corn, squash and beans (these were grown by the Native Americans at the time). Almost four centuries later, Thanksgiving has morphed into something entirely different, with modern day ‘traditional’ dishes like candied yams, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, jello dishes and pumpkin pie. This sugary rich Thanksgiving meal is repeated for 3-4 days, with warmed up leftover meals. This holiday marks a five week eating spree, which kicks off with Thanksgiving and culminates with New Years – leaving most ready for a detox in January (don’t worry, I have you covered. The next All-Site Challenge starts January 7th). WHAT IF you could enjoy the flavor of the season, without the sugar?
