Collars and cuffs have been based on later styles and those exaggerated out of proportion. The woman's cap, however, seems to be a cross between a period coif and a later prairie bonnet. Women in Plymouth Colony would also not have worn their hair loose, but rather pinned up underneath the coif, and bangs are comparatively modern. The indians' clothing is based generally on that of the Western Plains Indians, particularly in the full feather headdresses, and woven blankets. The turkey, first and foremost in the meal, began as a typical wild fowl, but has metamorphosed into a modern, fat, supermarket bird.
Indian corn appears in two forms, both incorrect.
Flint corn can be eaten on the cob in the summer while young, but not as mature ears in the fall. Popcorn, supposedly introduced by the Indians for the Pilgrims' delectation, was not grown in New England. Many fruits and vegetables, notably apples, pears and potatoes, were not grown in the colony at this early date. Other minor anachronisms are breads baked in loaf pans rather than round loaves, and milk drunk as a general beverage. The final absurdity is an unbutchered, unskinned deer supposedly cooked by hanging the entire body by the fetlocks over a fire.
