PrintDid the Pilgrims Really Know How to Make Hollandaise Sauce?
A piece on the op-ed page of the New York Times suggests that for health reasons we all switch the Thanksgiving meal to breakfast. Jennifer Ackerman writes:
So here is my proposal for revamping our holiday tradition: Invite the relatives for a morning feast of turkey frittata or wild turkey hash on English muffins, topped with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.
Ackerman even claims there is historical precedence for an early bird Thanksgiving.
The Pilgrims most likely dined after morning services so they could eat their outdoor banquet (wild fowl and venison and perhaps corn and carrots, collard and cabbage, pumpkin, onions and grapes) at a leisurely pace and still clear the tables before dark.
Some Thanksgiving breakfast possibilities:
- Turkey bacon or sausage and eggs
- Turkey frittata
- Pan-fried turkey hash made with stuffing
- Turkey crepes with wild mushrooms
What would you rustle up for a Thanksgiving morning repast?
