Bread, Pumpkin Pie, Turkey, Milk, and Potatoes were not part of the first Thanksgiving feast. Indian corn that would have been available at the time was only good for making cornmeal, so there was no corn-on-the-cob. However, they might have had something made with the cornmeal.
the items not at the first Thanksgiving were: Potatoes. Pumpkin pie, turkey, bread, and milk.
