    The first time I had cornbread dressing I fell in love with it. Most of the time I get invited to other people's homes and even have had sourdough dressing. Give me turkey and gravy and dressing and the rest, I'm home.

    I'm Hispanic American and every year our family incorporates Spanish dishes into our Thanksgiving dinner. This year we are going all-American as we teach the kids about the history of the holiday. Last year I found out I have English and Native American heritage so it feels even more appropriate. Those Spanish dishes can make a Christmas comeback anyhow. Enjoy your holidays everyone!

      Jesus brought the Pilgrims to America as the new promise land. Israel was long gone in 1620. Genesis 12. Matthew 21:43-44 and Jeremiah 31:31. The Pilgrims brought multiple merchant ships carrying supplies and paid them with European money. The merchants were experienced explorers and map makers who assisted the Pilgrims to navigate through the forests and establish ports for more ships. The Pilgrims enjoyed a nice first Thanksgiving with the Indians proving they were friends. The Indian wars didn't start until the British arrived, convincing the Indians to kill the settlers under false pretenses.

    • @blakedoesarts
      @blakedoesarts Před 6 měsíci

      You're forgetting the pilgrims were British themselves.... Saying "the Indian wars didn't start until the British arrived" doesn't make sense because the British had already been there for decades. That's why they were called the "British Colonies," not the "Pilgrim's colonies." @@void9837 And to top it off, even before any wars broke out, there were certainly less-than-friendly conflicts and displacement of native peoples off their ancestral lands.

    I just had Thanksgiving with my family yesterday and we had a lot of food to eat. Ham, maccoroni, sweet potatoes and a bunch of other foods. I like the video, I listened and I agree with you. The Indians did make the food and shared with us back in the 1600s. Don't forget your roots.

    The total quantity of the turkeys eaten in America every Thanksgiving is crucial. But to mention the total weight of those turkeys is absolutely unnecessary.

      Yes they are. Although there are many varieties of yams including white, yellow and the orange kind we usually refer to as sweet potatoes.
