For my project I made a menu to explain the types of foods the Pilgrims ate everyday. Pilgrims ate three meals a day which included breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lunch was the biggest meal of the day and breakfast was normally the smallest. For many years the Pilgrims lacked the materials to make certain foods which included desserts, however, they were able to make pumpkin pie by filling the inside with milk, honey, and spices. The first colonists definitely had to improvise by using the ingredients they did have.

    Even before the Puritans made their voyage to the “New World” or what we know it as North America, they had to deal with the hardships that are hardly talked about when it comes to the “Puritan Pilgrimage”. As the dictionary of Merriam-Webster states “The Puritans were a group religious members who were apart of a Protestant group, these members follow strict rules and believe that pleasure is wrong” In the early years of 1608, the town of Scrooby which had a group of Puritan separatists, migrated to the Netherlands from England to avoid persecution from the “Millenary Petition” that was made in 1604 by King James the First.

He wants to look beyond the eating aspect of the food and tell us the importance of it way before we were alive. His choice of teaching history based on food and food only is quite an interesting idea.…
