Forty words for the biggest meal of the American year: the turkey and its gravy, stuffing baked inside the bird or dressing baked beside it, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, a green beans casserole, and pumpkin pie or pecan pie under whipped cream.

Not much of it was on the table in 1621. The one surviving account of that harvest feast mentions wildfowl and five deer brought by Wampanoag men, and the Plymouth colonists had no ovens, no potatoes and very little sugar. The menu most families know grew up in the 1800s, after Sarah Josepha Hale printed recipes for years while she campaigned for a national holiday, which Abraham Lincoln proclaimed in 1863.

Some dishes are younger still. Green bean casserole was created in 1955 in the Campbell Soup test kitchen, and sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows spread through recipe booklets in the early twentieth century. Two jobs come after dinner: pulling the wishbone to see who gets their wish, and turning the leftovers into a sandwich the next day.
