Thanksgiving Dinner: An All-American Feast1
感恩節大餐：全美式的盛宴
Molly Leonard
11/25 
Thanksgiving is one of the oldest and best-loved American holidays. Many of the dishes eaten on this day are American classics, and they give the holiday feast a special flavor. For a look at some traditional Thanksgiving fare, read on!
Turkey
Perhaps the food most associated with Thanksgiving is roast turkey, but it probably wasn’t on the menu for the first Thanksgiving. Instead, the Pilgrims* likely feasted on duck, goose, seafood, and deer. Today, turkey is such a popular Thanksgiving food that the poultry* industry has made it a tradition to present the US president with a yearly bird. Following the example set by former president George H. W. Bush in 1989, each president has “pardoned” this turkey, sparing it from becoming the main course of the Thanksgiving meal.
Corn Bread
Corn bread was a staple* among Native Americans long before the English settlers2 arrived. Originally, it was a simple, nutritious3 dish made of water and cornmeal. These ingredients4 were stirred together into a dough5 and then baked on an open fire. Later, English and other European settlers began to add ingredients such as eggs and buttermilk to give it the more cake-like texture that it has today.
感恩節是最古老且最受喜愛的美國節日之一。在這天吃的許多菜餚都是美國的經典食物，它們賦予這個節日盛宴特別的風味。想要瞧瞧一些傳統的感恩節美食，就繼續往下看！
火雞
或許和感恩節最息息相關的食物就是烤火雞了，但它可能不在第一次的感恩節菜單上。朝聖先輩可能是享用鴨、鵝、海鮮和鹿來作為替代。今天，火雞是非常受歡迎的感恩節食物，以致於家禽業已讓每年贈送一隻火雞給美國總統成為一項傳統。追隨前總統喬治．H．W．布希（或稱「老布希」）在一九八九年樹立的榜樣，每位總統都會「赦免」這隻火雞，讓牠免於成為感恩節大餐的主菜。
玉米麵包
玉米麵包早在英國殖民者抵達前就是美洲原住民的主食。最初，它是用水和玉米粉製成的簡單、營養的菜餚。這些材料被攪拌成一個麵團，然後在明火上烤。後來，英國和其他歐洲殖民者開始加入雞蛋和白脫牛奶等材料來給予它如今更像蛋糕的質地。

Cranberry Sauce
Cranberries are native to North America and ripen* in the fall, so cranberry sauce is a natural choice for Thanksgiving. This dish dates back to the 18th century, but cranberries were eaten by Native Americans long before that. Easy to prepare, cranberry sauce consists of sugar, water, and fresh or frozen cranberries, which are chopped or crushed.6
Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkins are also harvested in the fall, which may be one reason why pumpkin pie is such a big Thanksgiving favorite. This dessert has existed since the 1600s, and one early recipe involved7 adding milk, sugar, and spices directly into a hollow pumpkin, which was then cooked whole in a fire. Today, Americans consume some 50 million pumpkin pies each Thanksgiving.
Sweet Potato Casserole
Another food that graces8 the Thanksgiving table is sweet potatoes, most commonly in the form of sweet potato casserole. Covered in brown sugar or topped with marshmallows, this oven-baked dish is a delight9 for those with a sweet tooth.
All of this delicious food may tempt10 you to tuck in immediately, but don’t forget to show your gratitude11 first. After all, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without giving a little thanks.
蔓越莓醬
蔓越莓原產自北美洲且在秋天成熟，所以蔓越莓醬是感恩節很自然的選擇。這道菜可追溯至十八世紀，但早在那之前美洲原住民就在吃蔓越莓了。蔓越莓醬容易製作，含有糖、水和新鮮或冷凍的蔓越莓（它們會被切碎或壓碎）。
南瓜派
南瓜也是在秋天收成，這或許是南瓜派是如此深受喜愛的感恩節食物的一個原因。這道甜點自十七世紀就已經存在，有一個早期的食譜包含了將牛奶、砂糖和香料直接加進空心的南瓜裡，之後整個在火上烹煮。今天，每年感恩節美國人會吃掉大約五千萬個南瓜派。
棉花糖烤番薯
另一個為感恩節餐桌增色的食物是番薯，通常是以棉花糖烤番薯的形式出現。覆蓋著紅糖或上面擺滿棉花糖，這道烤箱料理對喜歡甜食的人是一大享受。
所有這些美味的食物或許會引誘你馬上想要盡情享用，但別忘了先表達你的感激之情。畢竟，沒有一絲感謝就不是感恩節了。
