Why Do We Eat The Specific Foods We Eat On Thanksgiving? (Hint: It's not what you think!)

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! In this video we'll cover specifically why we eat all of the various foods that are popular on thanksgiving day tables all across America - including turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and stuffing!

Believe it or not, the pilgrims and their "first thanksgiving dinner" had very little to do with any of it, aside from possibly the turkey!

It can all be attributed to one lady in particular - Sarah Josepha Hale - she campaigned for thanksgiving to become a holiday, all while writing turkey recipes, pumpkin pie recipes, stuffing recipes, gravy recipes, cranberry sauce recipes, mashed potato recipes, and sweet potato recipes to publish in her magazines and books!
