What They (Likely) Did Have at the First Thanksgiving
- Venison
- Fowl (geese and duck)
- Corn
- Nuts (walnuts, chestnuts, beechnuts)
- Shellfish
So venison was a major ingredient, as well as fowl, but that likely included geese and ducks. Turkeys are a possibility, but were not a common food in that time.

Do you know WHO? Eddie L. Hyatt Link Hudson

What does this have to do with the study of God?
I have heard read they may not have had Turkey at the feast we now call Thanksgiving, and that a day of thanksgiving for the pilgrims would have been a day of fasting rather than feasting.
If we could go back in time and visit, I wonder how they would treat us. They were pretty rough on the Quakers. How would they treat Pentecostals?
Guest;
oh really whole a lot – back in the day I was gonna do a sermon on the subject and come to learn A LOT about the pilgrims and the whole story A historian at the Smithsonian told me they had surf and turf instead Who was rough on the Quakers?

The Wampanoag guests brought five deer with them, so venison was on the menu. The English brought fowl, “probably migrating waterfowl like ducks and geese, which were plentiful in autumn,” says Beahrs. “Governor William Bradford does mention taking turkeys that year, but not in connection to the harvest celebration.” Since Bradford wrote of how the colonists had hunted wild turkeys during the autumn of 1621 and since turkey is a uniquely American (and scrumptious) bird, it gained traction as the Thanksgiving meal of choice for Americans after Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863.

A Messianic rabbai said that thanksgiving was founded upon the teachings based up on the feast of tabernacles and adapted by the Puritans when they came to America. If it is true then I like it cause the tradition was copied from the word of God.
Guest;
I have heard that the Indians had a festival where they had a feast in honor of ‘the Great Spirit’ about that time of year
Guest;
and what about the turkey at that feast – any info? Jerome Herrick Weymouth I dont think they had turkeys in the tabernacle
Guest;
Well the corrupted priesthood in the days of Christ were full of turkeys…Now here’s one for you Brother Troy, how corrupt were the High Priests in Jesus time and yet none dropped dead when they went into the Most Holy place on the day of atonement?
Guest;
did the corrupted priesthood in the days of Christ offer turkeys?
Guest;
I’m told that the two subjects to avoid on Turkey day is politics and religion, which means that, I had better tie a gag around my mouth; how am I going to eat turkey?
Guest;
God accepted the offering, for those who could afford a bullock or a goat and for the poor a turtle dove, and even a grain offering.
Guest;
was it a masonic sacrifice? – they turkey

— The “Pilgrims of New England” may have started our national tradition of Thanksgiving Day, but I like to enjoy it with the American turkey. — I don’t know if there was a turkey eaten on the first Thanksgiving by the pilgrims. … But, I do suspect that God’s great original plan was for America to have enough wild turkeys within it’s borders that eventually some great innovators such as the “Butter Ball” corporation gave us all our present day turkeys that make many of us very thankful. … The fat juicy turkey and the bald eagle each serve their purpose in our thankful republic which has freedom of speech and religion.
