many of us prepare this week to sit down for our Thanksgiving meals, a local history organization a few weeks ago recreated a feast that would've been on par with Thanksgiving but long predates it and was celebrated on another continent.</p> <p>Just like in America today, work would often come to a halt in November in medieval Europe for a celebration.</p> <p>However, instead of gathering with family and friends on the fourth Thursday of that month, they would celebrate on Nov. 11 the <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin%27s_Day" rel="noopener">Feast of Saint Martin</a> – or Martinmas – a Christian commemoration of the death and burial of the fourth century <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_of_Tours" rel="noopener">Saint Martin

feast celebrating it, what it was like for a local chef who specializes in Cajun and Creole flavors to replicate medieval cuisine, and how the food of Europe of that period was more diverse than we tend to think (hint: this was no renaissance festival and there were no turkey legs).</p> <p><strong>PHOTOS:</strong></p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><div class="splide"><div
