Celebrating the Dog with leftovers from Thanksgiving!
|
|
The 1621 Thanksgiving celebration marked the Pilgrims’ first autumn harvest, so it is likely that the colonists feasted on the bounty they had reaped with the help of their Native American neighbors. Local vegetables that likely appeared on the table include onions, beans, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, carrots and perhaps peas. Corn, which records show was plentiful at the first harvest, might also have been served, but not in the way most people enjoy it now. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes, or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of contemporary celebrations.

Red Cross dog collar, Berlin, Germany, 1914-1918. Marked with the red cross – a universally recognized medical symbol – this collar was worn by a dog trained to locate dead and wounded soldiers during the First World War. The dogs could tell the difference between a dead soldier and an unconscious one. Dogs were also used as messengers and were employed again in the Second World War. Science Museum, London.

While we consume, co-habit, collaborate, and even
create animals around us - we as humans forget that
we ourselves are animals. Animals serve as our
foods, offer companionship, are sacrificed for
science and are entwined in our myths and stories -
yet always take a back seat as we move forward.
