GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Sodexo,
the leader in Quality of Life services, and the Plimoth Plantation
in Plymouth, Massachusetts, bring
the first Thanksgiving feast to life
as they tell the story of the Pilgrims and the native Wampanoag
people. The meal is made up of authentic recipes from the
1600s and is served to more than 3,000 people during Thanksgiving week at the Plimoth Plantation.
Items on the menu include native turkey with giblet gravy,
traditional stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, steamed
white turnip, Harvard beats, green
beans and cranberry relish. Dessert is comprised of apple pie,
pumpkin pie and Indian pudding.
The food served has been carefully researched and recreated to
make it as authentic as possible. The chefs use local, seasonal
ingredients just as the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people would
have in the 17th century.

history to the Thanksgiving
table.
