It’s that time of year again when we give thanks for all that we have and what better way to do that this year than with the Pilgrims. Every year, Plimoth Plantation hosts a 17th century harvest dinner where you will step back nearly 400 years to enjoy their authentic Thanksgiving fare. Here, you will be seated at a group table and dine on a menu of English cuisine from the early 17th century while listening to Pilgrims dressed in costume, speak in the dialect of the period. The Thanksgiving menu will include three courses.

Sweet Pudding of Native Corn

Chine of Pork, Roast’d
Fricassee of Fish
Final course
17th-century Cheesecake
