CURIOSITIES
Thanksgiving
Let's go back in time to the year 1620.
The Pilgrims depart from England on the Mayflower. Their destination: the New World and a new life in America.
They reach America. For the Pilgrims, America is a new and strange land.
It's cold in America in the winter, and they don't have a lot of food. A lot of Pilgrims die.
Now it's the year 1621.
The Pilgrims have new friends: Native American Indians. The Indians teach the Pilgrims to hunt, plant and harvest the crops.
By October-November of 1621, the Pilgrims have plenty of food for the coming winter.
The Pilgrims celebrate the first Thanksgiving. Their special guests are their new friendsm the Native American Indians.
Today, Thanksgiving is a very special holiday in the United States. American families, like the Pilgrims in 1621, get together on Thanksgiving Day to celebrate and to be grateful for all they have.
The centerpiece of contemporary Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada is a large meal, generally 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.
Stuffing: While cooking, stuffing or filling (specifically for poultry) is an edible substance or mixture, often a starch, used to fill a cavity in another food item.
Gravy: Gravy is a sauce, made often from the juices that run naturally from meat or vegetables during cooking
