Meals have become a means of governing, and the fate of whole peoples is decided at a banquet.\""-Jean Anthlme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste, or, Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy\n The first Thanksgiving at Plymouth in 1621 was a powerfully symbolic event and not merely the pageant of abundance that we still reenact today.
