1. There are precious few recipes from this time and place in history, and only a handful of food descriptions. Your best bet for period English recipes are the few primary source cookbooks available on the antiques market, which you can adapt by substituting 1621 New England foods. Historical cooking for Thanksgiving is something highly creative, so don’t plan to go historical for the full menu. Get your complete indigenous and English food lists and resources in The American Patriot’s Treasury of Historical Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas, Second Edition.
2. The people gathered at the 1621 feast in Plymouth dished up in potluck style. It was a three day community affair, not a sit down dinner. So give yourself permission to loosen up!
Roasting rabbit, fall 2008. Also attempted pawcohiccora in the clay pot, but it boiled dry while we played Hoodman's Blind... ooops.
