You think it’s tough making a Thanksgiving dinner, from bird to biscuits?
Try making the original Thanksgiving dinner, prepared in 1621 by the Pilgrims to celebrate their first disease-ridden, disaster-plagued year at Plymouth Colony.
I did.
No Cuisinarts, no stoves, no electric mixers, no microwaves, no forks (that froufrou utensil didn’t come in until the 18th century). For that matter, no mashed potatoes, no cranberry sauce, no candied yams, no pumpkin pie.
In all likelihood, no turkey.
