Origin of ThanksgivingThanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. He began in 1621 when the pilgrims from England to the new land celebrated the thanksgiving for the harvest of the Plymouth Colony. At the time the native Indians, the Wampanoag, the pilgrims attended the ceremony. The new Americans were celebrating benevolence of God to them at a time when over half of the pilgrims had died because of winter they have endured. Without the help of the Indians, all would have died. Thanksgiving is a holiday to express gratitude and appreciation to God, family and friends.This holiday has since moved away from its religious roots. Is celebrated on the 4th Thursday November ( U.S.A.) and on 2nd Monday of October (Canada).

Thanksgiving DinnerThe centerpiece of contemporary thanksgiving is a large meal centered around a large roasted turkey. The majority of the dishes in the traditional American version of Thanksgiving dinner are made from foods native to the New World, as according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods from the Native Americans.

Other served dishes include winter squash; yams; mashed potatoes, or rice; dumplings; corn on the cob; deviled eggs; green beans; sauerkraut, peas and carrots, bread rolls, cornbread, or biscuits, rutabagas or turnips; and a salad. For dessert: apple pie, mincemeat pie, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate meringue pie and pecan pie.

Thanksgiving DinnerThe Turkey

Because turkey is the most common main dish of a Thanksgiving dinner, Thanksgiving is sometimes called “turkey day.” Most Thanksgiving turkeys are stuffed with a bread-based stuffing and roasted. Sage is the traditional herb added to the stuffing, along with chopped celery, carrots, and onions.
