A Pigeon Pie for Thanksgiving Feast
A historical recipe for pigeon pie begins by thickly preparing six pigeons halved. Salt pork is fried, onions brown in the fat, then pigeons brown, butter added, and water poured to simmer until tender. Cream and flour are whisked in, pigeons are arranged in a dish with gravy, a rich crust added, edges moistened, and the pie baked for three quarters of an hour with buttered crust protection.
Thanksgiving Decorations From Field to Fete
An 19th century note suggests using country field materials for Thanksgiving decor. Red berries vines and branches provide color while downy thistle balls mixed with gnutomy ginea and berrley offer textures. Autumn leaves gathered in late October or early November can be preserved by a gum arabic dip, dried, boxed, and gently packed to retain color for reuse.
