Pumpkin

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is the customary 'Pumpkin Pie'. 

It is not sure whether pumpkin was one of the dishes in the first thanksgiving dinner. Pilgrims probably made a pumpkin sweeterwith honey or syrup. They were a part of all traditional meals before the arrival of pilgrims. Pumpkin leaves were also used as salads. Pumpkin is one of the important symbols of the harvest festival and has been an American-favourite for over 400 years now.
