3) The very first Thanksgiving menu included

deer, small fowl, corn, and several types of fish.
Almost all the dishes we know to be traditional
became so at least 200 years later.
4) Pumpkin was used as an ingredient for the crust
of some pies during the colonial period, but not the
filling!
5) Part of why Swanson invented the first TV
Dinners in 1953 was because they needed to use
up all of their Thanksgiving Turkey leftovers!
6) This year, 2013, marks the first time that
Thanksgiving and Hanukkah have converged since
1888, and the next time these two events align
might not be for another 79,043 years!

Fascinating Fun
Facts about
Thanksgiving
Food
By KATHERINE on NOVEMBER 24, 2013
The first Thanksgiving event happened almost 400

years ago, and were still celebrating the event to
this day. However, while the story goes back for
centuries, the actual holiday of Thanksgiving as
we know it today, complete with a great come
together until many years down the road! feast of
turkey, cranberries, stuffing, and mashed potatoes,
did not Check out a few of these fun Thanksgiving
facts below and find out more about this awesome
occasion.
1) Approximately 46,000,000 turkeys are sold

annually just for Thanksgiving. Since the average
weight of each bought turkey is 16lbs, all the
turkeys eaten on Thanksgiving could equal the
weight of almost 750 filled Boeing 747-8
airplanes.
2) 20% of all cranberries eaten in the US are eaten
on Thanksgiving Day!
7) Despite that George Washington supported

setting aside a day of Thanksgiving in 1777, the
US did not officially recognize Thanksgiving Day
until 1863, when Abraham Lincoln declared that it
should be held on the last Thursday of November
every year.
(Note: In 1939, Franklin Roosevelt was convinced
by the National Retail Dry Goods Association to
change Thanksgiving to the third Thursday of
November in order to extend the holiday shopping
season. This decision was very unpopular and was
officially reversed in 1941).
8) Sarah Hale, author of Mary Had a Little
Lamb, campaigned for almost 2 decades to make
Thanksgiving Day a national holiday, and it was in
part because of a letter from her that Abraham
Lincoln declared it so. She also came up with an
outline of suggested Thanksgiving dishes that
likely set the tradition for our modern menus!
