A lot of families celebrate Thanksgiving by gathering around and sharing a large meal. There is a common menu to eat during Thanksgiving such as Turkey and pumpkin pie, but each family has its own tradition so the menu can be different.

Based on the history records, the first celebration of Thanksgiving was held by the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians.

In 1817, New York and several other states became the first states that officially adopted Thanksgiving as an annual holiday, but the rest of America still not familiar with the tradition.

There are a lot of reasons why we eat Turkey at Thanksgiving even when it is not the meal shared by the Pilgrims and their Native American neighbors. One of the reasons is that Turkey is a big bird and it is large enough to feed an entire family. It does not produce other products we can consume such as eggs or milk. Turkey is also not common to eat on a daily basis making it suitable to eat a turkey for a special occasion like Thanksgiving.
