Pilgrim Breakfast

My breakfast

Our last morning in Plymouth, we participated in the Annual Pilgrim's Breakfast. Set on the back lawn of the historical Harlow House, the atmosphere was enhanced by women spinning yarn and a group of "Pilgrims" singing old songs for the diners Women dressed in traditional Pilgrim clothing served us fishcakes, baked beans, scrambled eggs, thirded bread, and corn muffins. It was a fun way to eat colonial-era food, and it offered us a chance to tour one more historical house before we drove home.
