4. Venison
In terms of customs, Thanksgiving in Canada is also very similar to that in the United States. Turkey is also eaten, and many foods are the same. However, due to the differences in climate and region, Canadian people also eat venison, wild duck, wild goose, waterfowl, ham and so on. Why eat venison for Thanksgiving? Because of the first Thanksgiving, the Indians brought five deer.
Venison has high nutritional value. Because it belongs to lean meat with low fat and high protein, its price is very high in the international market. Remove the impurities from the venison, wash it, cut it into large pieces and put it in the basin. Remove the impurities of sweat onion and carrot respectively, wash and slice them. Remove impurities from celery, wash and cut into sections. Put them in the venison basin. Add salt, monosodium glutamate, brandy and pepper and marinate for 4 hours.

5. Pumpkin pie
The essential dessert for Thanksgiving, pumpkin pie (or pie of other flavors), was not included in the original feast. In the period of Puritans' lack of materials, all kinds of materials for making pies, such as flour, sugar, milk and cream, were very, very scarce, and it was impossible to make pies at all. So pumpkin pie is a Thanksgiving food developed later.
Pumpkin pie is a festival food for Thanksgiving, just like dumplings eaten by Chinese people on New Year's Eve. Autumn is a harvest season. A large number of pumpkins are on the market in autumn and winter. Pumpkins are nutritious, sweet and delicious. They are also a good medicine to replenish middle school Qi and alleviate autumn dryness.

Sweet potato is one of the main foods for Thanksgiving. Sweet potato contains dietary fiber, carotene, vitamins A, B, C, e, potassium, iron, copper, selenium, calcium and so on.

However, what is more valuable is that sweet potato also won the first place in the 'ranking list' of 20 anti-cancer vegetables recently released by Japan's National Cancer Research Center.

Corn bread is a Thanksgiving food loved by both British and Indians. Stuffing stuffed inside the turkey is made of torn corn bread, white bread and celery.

In order to express their gratitude, Thanksgiving came from then on. Therefore, this corn bread continued and became a necessary food for Thanksgiving.

It does not need to be as time-consuming and laborious as making yeast bread, and it does not need to consider the gluten of flour. Almost all kinds of flour can be used.

As for different flavor practices, they are processed on this basis. You can fry the mashed potatoes, add salad sauce or milk (butter, butter and cheese), and add some black pepper. The minced meat will taste better.
