感恩節馬上就要到了，感恩節的活動豐富，吃喝玩樂樣樣齊全。下面就由小編跟大家介紹一下感恩節的美食文化吧，歡迎大家瞭解!
【感恩節美食文化介紹】
Edward Winslow's account details that "they went out and killed five deer" and mentions that "our governor sent four men on fowling" and that "they four, in one day, killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week." While it is possible that turkeys may have been killed, it is more likely that ducks or geese were the primary targets.
根據愛德華·溫斯洛的記載，他們那時外出捕殺了五頭鹿。“長官共派了四個人去抓鳥。這四個人運氣不錯，一天就找到了幾乎夠一週吃的東西。”這些人有可能殺火雞來慶賀，但鴨子和鵝更可能成為那時候人的首選。
In addition, the crops grown by both settler and Native American would have graced that early thanksgiving dinner. Corn, squash, potatoes, yams, even wheat to make bread were, in all probability, shared and enjoyed.
此外，在早期的感恩節晚餐中，當時的'移民和美洲土著會用各種農作物，比如玉米、南瓜、土豆、山藥、甚至小麥等所有可能的材料去製作麵包，然後一起享用。
Today there is such a large variety of food to choose from that a Thanksgiving Dinner can feature almost any main course. True, the traditional turkey is still the meat of choice, yet goose, duck, ham, even some of the sea's harvests can be used. In place of sweet potatoes, peas, greens, and even more exotic vegetables all make their way to this celebration of Thanksgiving and harvest.
如今的感恩節大餐可選的食物可謂五花八門，幾乎所有的菜都可以出現在晚餐中。沒錯，傳統的火雞依舊是肉類的選擇，而你還可選用鵝、鴨、火腿以及各種海產品。除了甜土豆之外，豌豆、各種綠色食物甚至國外泊來的蔬菜都成功地登上了感恩節盛宴的飯桌。
The key to a Thanksgiving menu is to choose foods that will represent the idea of giving thanks for a good year, a harvesting of good fortune, and the sharing of the bounty of your efforts with friends and family. In today's world, the only limit on preparing a Thanksgiving Dinner is an individual's imagination and creativity.
感恩節食譜的擇選關鍵在於：食物要有好的寓意，要能夠表達出對好年頭、對好運氣的感恩之心，以及與朋友、家人共同分享的寬巨集之心。現如今，人們準備感恩節大餐什麼都不缺，唯一可能碰到的困難就是缺乏想象力和創造力。
