I went to a restaurant right before Thanksgiving that was serving the best pumpkin pie I had ever tasted! If you were to ask for my opinion, I'd say to go just for the sake of the dessert. The rest of the food they offered was alright, but the pumpkin pie really made the experience worthwhile. It had supposedly been made from scratch from a secret recipe passed down in the family business, although the basic recipe is simple; pumpkin puree, egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, spices, and so on.
It's always important to know where a food originated from though, right? Pumpkins had been exchanged from the New World to the Old World. Sugar, also commonly used in pumpkin pie, had been exchanged from the Old World to the New World. It explains why pumpkin pie has become an essential dish for Thanksgiving; most dishes used for Thanksgiving dinner use foods that had come from the New World to the Old World!
In addition, they also served turkey (which had also come from the New World to the Old World). It wasn't that bad, but it was a little bit dry.
