The Foods of Thanksgiving
Christopher Lombardi, Special publications, Published on 18/11/2018
ยป Though originally held by colonial settlers to express gratitude for not succumbing to starvation for another year, the celebration of Thanksgiving has morphed into a lavish annual food-fest that relies on abundance rather than looming deprivation. Celebrated in various forms starting in the 1600s, 'turkey day' did not become an official holiday until 1863, when then-President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed "a day of Thanksgiving and Praise" for the nation's blessings in the midst of the US Civil War.
