Corn flour was baked into breads and puddings that people ate at every meal. There wasn’t much variety in the diet of the first Pilgrims.

For breakfast they had pudding, bread, and a cup of beer.

The midday meal, which they called dinner, was their biggest of the day. In the early years, it was just like breakfast—beer, pudding, and bread. The only difference was that the portions were larger. In later years, when they had the ingredients, cooks chopped up vegetables and meat to make soups and stews.

The last meal of the day was supper. Once again, the same dishes appeared—pudding, leftover bread, and, of course, beer.

And after supper was finished, the cook mixed ground corn and water in a big kettle and hung it over the embers to cook all night. In the morning, breakfast would be ready to eat. Pudding again!
