Did the Pilgrims have a similar feast on the first thanksgiving compared to the feast we have today? If not, then what would they have eaten during their meal?

i dont think they had the whole spread, poor pilgrims were in the dirt, struggling to survive etc.
but im sure the had the best of what they had around, so in that way it's the same. But it's not really about the food is it...

Try checking the Plimouth Plantation website for what is generally believed to be the first Thanksgiving. And no, the first Thanksgiving was not the same as what tends to be on the menu for most households today.
Actually, there was a Thanksgiving held in 1619 at the site of Berkley Plantation in Virginia, which predated the Pilgrims landing in Mass by a year and seventeen days.

many times, we've both a turkey and a ham. continually have stuffing. often times, we are going to stuff it contained in the turkey. selfmade potato salad and mac & cheese (this stuff continually runs out before some thing else). :) both eco-friendly beans & eco-friendly peas. Mashed potatoes. Cranberry sauce. Yams. i'm confident i'd be reminded of four or 5 different dishes the following day. a minimum of three sorts of pie. Pecan, pumpkin, and sweet potato are required. someone many times resources a fruit pie selection. adequate tea & bottled water to feed a busload of human beings. i might want to wish to speak about that numerous human beings collect for our Thanksgiving dinner and numerous the human beings in my relatives are "huge" those with very hearty appetites (and numerous those human beings have a minimum of two youngsters). Thanksgiving is really like a relatives reunion for me. all and multiple is very a lot spread out in the course of the country and that i will in ordinary words have adequate money to visit such numerous human beings in the course of the twelve months. Oh, and a contented Thanksgiving to you too.

They would have eaten whatever was available at the time. Wild fowl, corn, vegetables. And we're not even sure there was a "first" Thanksgiving as we know it today.

They probably ate alot of fish and wild game like venison or bear or birds of some kind. The Indians had shown them how to plant corn so they would have had corn dishes and berries too.
