A nice book for kids about Pilgrim food and manners. Their relationship with Native Americans is only covered in terms of the trading they did for food. It doesn't get into the politics or make judgements. From the limited and sometimes maggoty foods they ate while sailing across the Atlantic to the limited palates of the pilgrims once settled (they didn't like fruits or vegetables, although hunger forced the issue) to the cooking methods used, this book covers in the subject in an entertaining, easily understood way. I think any 7-10 year old would find it interesting. There is a glossary and recipes to make a Pilgrim menu, including: Fresh Corn Soup
Red Pickled Eggs (that's how my mom always made them!)
Hot Indian Pudding
Succotash Stew
Spicy Cucumber Catsup (yes, there were many catsups besides tomato. I've made a mushroom one)
Bannock Cakes
Whole Baked Pumpkin Stuffed with Apples
Bearberry Jelly (aka cranberries)
Swizzle
Hot Nuts
