Savor Tradition
For Thanksgiving
RUTH SAMUELS
Special to The Jewish News
L
et's
hope Wolfgang
Puck doesn't get hold
of Thanksgiving din-
ner. Two-tone, mesquite
flavored turkey mousse with
parsley puree would certain-
ly cause an Indian uprising at
our log cabin.
In a large family, where
everyone takes their turn
cooking holiday dinners,
Thanksgiving is always my
favorite. Traditional, not nov-
elty, recipes are stressed. Our
table is a revisit to the past
where imagination was dem-
onstrated daily.
Food was woven more inti-
mately into the fabric of dai-
ly life in pioneer times than
today. Colonial Americans
left diaries and journals tell-
ing tragic stories about the
deaths of nine out of every 10
early settlers. "Starving
time" it was called. Most co-
lonials from England and
Holland were city-bred and
unfamiliar with country life.
The American Indian became
both teacher and savior, in-
structing the settlers in hunt-
ing, food preparation and
preservation. What good were
cookbooks from home to
housewives confronted with
the strange contorted shapes
of squash, pumpkin and corn?
Indian tribes moved from lo-
cation to location, which gave
variety to their diet. Wild and
cultivated botanicals were us-
ed for food, medicines,
cosmetics and smoking
mixtures.
Nut butters and seed but-
ters became an excellent and
nutritious topping for breads,
cakes, fruit and vegetables.
Peanut butter, an institution
in America, evolved from this
culture. Leaf flavorings such
as Coltsfoot seasoned many
dishes and were highly priz-
ed by numerous Indian tribes.
This leaf was rolled in a ball
and dried thoroughly by the
fire; the resulting ash was a
salt substitute.
Cornmeal, corn soup, corn
pudding and even popcorn
were eaten. Every part of the
corn was utilized — even the
cobs were dried and used for
fire starters. Pumpkin pie
probably started out as a nut-
and-pumpkin soup that was
left too long in the kettle.
Potatoes, both white and
sweet, were stored in "aborig-
inal barnes" (underground
storage pits lined and covered

writer in Pennsylvania.
with tree bark). And what
could taste better than pota-
toes thrown directly on the
firewood, retrieved by a stick
and consumed without satur-
ated fat?
Along with turkey at that
"First Thanksgiving," ani-
mals like rabbit, raccoon and
venison were stewed, roasted
and stuffed. Nuts, mush-
rooms, fresh cranberries, wild
grapes and dried black wal-
nuts were all found at this
momentous occasion.
After dinner, the American
Indians introduced the early
settlers to smoking which
they used both medicinally
and ceremonially. Pipes were
most often used although the
corn husks made a dandy cig-
arette. Most Indians smoked
a variety of dried wild herbs,
blended with a small amount
of tobacco.
According to early accounts,
Indians were free of skin
disease and would wash
themselves with oils of fishes
mixed with herbs.
