Ham....... There's no evidence that the colonist had butchered a pig by this time, though they had brought pigs with them from England

Sweet Potatoes/ Potatoes...... These were not common

Corn on the Cob.... Corn was kept dried out at this time of year

Cranberry Sauce... The colonist had cranberries but no sugar at this time

Pumpkin Pie... It's not a recipe that exists at this point, though the pilgrims had recipes for stewed pumpkin

Chicken/Eggs... We know that the colonist brought hens with them from England, but it's unknown how many they had left at this point or wheather the hens were still laying

Milk.... No cows had been aboard the Mayflower... though its possible that the colonist used goat milk to make cheese.
