The first Thanksgiving started a harvest celebration that lasted for three days and consisted of deer, corn and shellfish, local food from within 100 miles of Plymouth, Mass. nearly four centuries later, it’s almost easier to fix a meal with food from 1,000 miles away than 100. But creating a meal from only local foods is possible. As part of my role as PBS NewsHour audience engagement specialist I asked NewsHour viewers what 100-mile Thanksgiving recipes looked like in their part of the country. See the reponses here and on NewsHour as part of their Thanksgiving coverage.
