History tells us that the menu included freshly killed deer, assorted wildfowl (including wild turkey), fish, and flint, a native variety of corn harvested by the Native Americans, which was eaten as corn bread and porridge. The harvest vegetables included onions, peas, beans, squash, cabbage and carrots.
*Note: Not served were potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet corn or stuffing.

The menu even included a poem for inspiration:
"This is the table, lads, grab you a seat,
Thanksgiving this year is Uncle Sam's treat;
The café noir
Is not rationed by far
And neither, my lads, is the meat!
So eat!"
