We have more variety of foods to choose from than the pilgrims had. Also, our traditions have gradually changed over the years.
There are no records mentioning any foods for the 1621 Thanksgiving feast other than venison (deer meet) and fowl. Some believe they probably also had seafood such as lobster and cod, and swan, duck, and turkey meat. The feast would have had more meats than vegetables, which were less bountiful, but the vegetables served would probably have been pumpkins, turnips, peas, onion, and beans. It is likely they also had fruits; possibly plums and grapes. It is doubtful they had sweet desserts, as more than likely, their supplies of sugar brought over with them would have been gone by the time the feast was held. There are some records of the first Thanksgiving celebration that it was a three-day event.

Rather than turkey, it was very likely grouse, duck, goose and swan.
The Pilgrim's menu was somewhat slimmer than todays. Wild Turkeys, corn, pumpkins, potatoes, and wild greens of some sort were the staples they had.... Other wild game might have been served also....

Pilgrims needed more wood in the winter than the summer. In the summer, wood would be needed for building and cooking. Scholastic has a wonderful website on the Pilgrims, the Wampanog and the First Thanksgiving. It talks about chores including firewood.
