Ummmmm.....I must note here that the Thanksgiving held at Plymouth
Plantation was not the first in this country. Rather the first was held
at Berkeley Plantation in Virginia, near Jamestown, in 1617 (IIRC). Not
to denigrate the cookbook in any way...just wanted to set the facts
straight!
Kiri...who grew up in Virginia!
