    Ever think about how the clearest sign that Thanksgiving is a manufactured holiday is that the post-Abe Lincoln "Thanksgiving feast" is this carefully generalized version of American cuisine that *contains no seafood* Even though the original one happened in *Massachusetts*

        The historical "first Thanksgiving" was held by desperately poor settlers on the New England coast Yes, the recorded celebration involved them going out and hunting a bunch of wild turkeys (and deer) Still no way they didn't supplement that with a fuckton of mussels and clams

        (On the flipside, most of the "traditional Thanksgiving foods" that involve carbs could not have existed at the "first Thanksgiving" They didn't have the resources to grow wheat for flour, their staple crop was starchy "Indian corn", that's the whole point of the story)

        (Also no cattle for any dairy products No sweet potatoes/yams nor white potatoes, those are a South American crop that hadn't been imported to North America yet Sweet corn is a rare mutation of maize Europeans didn't encounter until the Iroquois sold it to them in the 1770s)

        (And corn as sweet as we're used to today -- what we typically eat as corn on the cob -- is a further mutation, "supersweet corn", that was created using radiation in the 1950s But that's a whole other story)

        And there were only four adult women settlers at the dinner. The rest had died.

        I still remember learning growing up in MA that they had eels at the first thanksgiving.
