Welcome to FabulousFusionFood's Thanksgiving Recipes Page — This page details the origins of Thanksgiving celebrations from it's inception as an European harvest festival, through a Christian celebration of the bounty of the year's harvest to a more general celebration of thanks for the year's bounties. Today, Thanksgiving is most well known as a holiday in the United States of America, though a similar holiday is also held in Canada, Grenada and Liberia.

Here you will learn a little about Thanksgiving, and in particular it's history in the USA. Also presented are typical recipes for a Thanksgiving menu, as well as variants, alternates and recipes from other cultures. I hope you enjoy this page and will make use of the recipes for your own Thanksgiving celebrations.

Thanksgiving ultimately owes its origins to various pagan harvest festivals that were subsumed by the Christian church and are often celebrated on the second Sunday of October (traditionally the end of harvest time in the Northern Hemisphere). These, however, are religious observances, most commonly practiced in Wales (Diolchgarwch) and the Netherlands (as many of the Pilgrims who would end up at the Plymouth Plantation had resided in the city of Leiden from 1609–1620).
