You see lots of pies in the first course and in the second course, meat and fish pies. To cook a turkey in a pie was not terribly uncommon. The colonists did not have butter and wheat flour to make crusts for pies and tarts. Thatβs right: No pumpkin pie! Hope this helped. :)
Meat and maybe fish pies
The traditional Thanksgiving treat likely not part of the 1621 Pilgrim celebration is pumpkin pie. The Pilgrims did not have the necessary ingredients like butter and wheat flour to make crusts for pies. Instead, their feast included meats and vegetables from the harvest.
