I like doing different dressing/stuffing, added oysters one year after I saw that classic first Thanksgiving image and there were oyster shells all around. Did it just once.

My hovercraft is full of turkeys.

SQUANTO: Here. You eat these for celebration.

PILGRIM: Uhhh...Thank you! (hands them to wife and whispers “Bury these in the garden and plant the corn on top-that way he’ll never see that we threw them out!”)

Saw a pic of jellied eel. Sticking with turkey & dressing, thank you very much.

In my Drum Corps days, we once stayed at a high school in Clay City, Ohio. Their mascot was the Eels.

Actually lobsters which were then considered a trash fish, provided critical sustenance to the early settlers in Massachusetts. Also when the Pilgrims landed on Cape Cod they met an English speaking Indian who had dealt with English cod fisherman. Even then facts were never allowed to ruin a good narrative.

The Pilgrims were from England, and Squanto spoke perfect English.

English eat eels.................

The WEF almost took over the world once before?

My first time in London, my wife and I being tourists went into Harrod’s Department Store, in the food section of the store, they had eels in gelatin, I would need to be starving to eat eels in gelatin and I’ve eaten a bunch of crazy things in my life.

i think a Thanksgiving raw bar would be great

i usually go to hooters for that on Thanksgiving

[dforest]

We have an eel shortage in Indiana.

[DannyTN]

What kind of stuffing would you use with that?

[njslim]

There are people on the upper reaches of the Delaware River near Port Jervis use native type weirs to trap eels

Eels are then smoked and packaged

I absolutely LOVE unagi - Japanese freshwater eel grilled with a semi-sweet sauce over a bed of rice. Anago (salt water eel) is good too, but unagi is much better in my mind.

I have never eaten smoked eel but it sounds delicious. They are supposed to be fatty.

Actually venison was the main dish, along with turkey , duck/geese, fish and eels

Chief of Wampanoag Massasoit sent his men into the woods and brought back 5 deer had killed

Vegetables were corn, beans squash (succotash)

No cranberry sauce or green bean casserole
