Thanksgiving may be one of the most anticipated holidays of year, due to its delicious food traditions, like turkey, gravy, potatoes, cranberries, stuffing and pie.

According to FoodTimeline, the origins of the traditional foods can be traced back to the very first Thanksgiving in the fall of 1621, which was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The first Thanksgiving celebrated a good harvest and peace between the Pilgrims and the Native American Indians.
Almost 400 years later, the food is still present at today’s Thanksgiving meal. However, today Americans celebrate Thanksgiving as a holiday in which families come together, share foods and give thanks.
