We Love Thanksgiving, and We Love Pies
Yes, who could resist eating a Cranberry Apple Slab Pie and not leave even any crumbles? Nobody; that’s who. Believe it or not, we can get some bites off a pie and still care about our oral hygiene after celebrating Thanksgiving, that´s right. This is why we now want to share a piece of delicious thanksgiving pie info for you, but first, we want you to know what Thanksgiving represents. Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is a national holiday that commemorates an autumn harvest feast that took place in November 1621. The history of Thanksgiving started when pilgrims from England arrived to establish themselves in the “New World.” After several days of traveling, only half of the pilgrims survived the expedition and extreme winter conditions.
A Native American from the Abenaki tribe greeted them and introduced them to Squanto, a former slave who returned from England. Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe, taught them how to cultivate corn, catch fish and helped them survive. He also helped them establish one of the few harmonious living alliances between Native Americans and European colonists.
After the first corn harvest, Governor William Bradford invited their Native American allies to a celebratory feast as a gesture of gratitude. Today we remember this event as Thanksgiving day. Despite the fact, the meals did not include pies or desserts. Instead, people slowly introduced a tradition of having delicious sugary pumpkin pie, cakes, and desserts.
