The pilgrims didn't celebrate Thanksgiving. Whatever it was THEY
celebrated, they sure didn't eat cranberries. A lot of the things we eat
at Thanksgiving, the pilgrims didn't have available. They ate whatever
they could scrape together.

Did you miss the show Alton Brown did??

Snap out of it!

Live dangerously!

Aw, nevermind. I'd serve pesto at MY table.

Ya stuffy ol' crumbs!
