Happy Thanksgiving Day! Useless facts to make you thankful you have better things to do.

Of The Three Utensils We Use To Eat (Fork, Spoon and Knife) Which Was Not Present At The First Thanksgiving Feast? 

 The fork. 

What did they use to eat their meal with? A knife, a spoon and their fingers. 

The fork was not brought by the pilgrims. Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts introduced it 10 years later, but it did not really catch on until the 18th century. 

Apparently, part of the reason that Swanson started creating T.V. dinners in 1953 was because it needed to find something to do with the massive amount of leftover frozen Thanksgiving turkeys.  

Damien's note: This last bit interests me because my family never had turkey on Thanksgiving when I was a kid down south. We had chicken with cornbread dressing. The only time I remember eating turkey at home as a kid was in Swanson T.V. dinners. It seemed like such a treat.
