“Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West, From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest, When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board The old broken links of affection restored, When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more, And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before. What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye? What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?” MenEyeCarePastMotherGirlRichBrokenWestSouthRoundsLipsAffectionEastBoardsLinksGrayGuestsWornPiePilgrimPumpkinThanksgiving DayNorth And SouthPumpkin Pie Author:John Greenleaf Whittier

“My most memorable meal is every Thanksgiving. I love the food: The turkey and stuffing; the sweet potatoes and rice, which come from my mother's Southern heritage; the mashed potatoes, which come from my wife's Midwestern roots; the Campbell's green bean casserole; and of course, pumpkin pie.” MotherCoursesWifeSweetRootsGreenMy WifeMemorableMealsSouthernHeritagePiePotatoesTurkeysRiceBeansPumpkinThanksgiving HolidayMost MemorableMashed PotatoesSweet PotatoesPumpkin PieCasserolesGreen Beans Author:Douglas Conant
