What was served at the original Thanksgiving? I suspect that there was a lot more sea food and maybe not turkey at all?

Can some one give me a menu of the original Thanksgiving?

Most likely the Pilgrims' first harvest festival served roast goose, venison, codfish, lobster, but no turkey, stewed pumpkins, but no pumpkin pie. Other possible dishes included cod, eel, clams, and oysters, peas, beans, onions, lettuce, radishes, and carrots, Indian corn, plums, grapes, walnuts, chestnuts, and acorns.

Lasagna Recipe
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek, cleaned and sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1/2 cup sliced fennel
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
2 (14-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves, chopped
4 whole-wheat lasagna noodles, cooked as directed on package
1 (4-ounce) package feta cheese, drained
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add leeks and garlic and saute until translucent, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add zucchini and the fennel and saute for another minute. Add artichoke hearts and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and then add oregano. Stir and remove from heat.

Cover the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch pan with 1 cup of the tomato mixture. Top with 2 lasagna noodles. Top with half of the remaining tomato mixture. Sprinkle with feta cheese. Add remaining 2 lasagna noodles and top with remaining tomato mixture.

Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 35 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

I don't think anyone knows for certain, but people have ideas of what was available in that area at that time.
