Pumpkin Pudding
Be sure to read up on Information on the First Thanksgiving. This was a celebration of the first harvest had by Pilgrims in the US, and was a festival with the 50 or so Pilgrims plus just under 100 native Americans. The food therefore was a mix of what the English settlers knew about and/or brought with them, plus what the native Americans brought in to the feast.
The Native Americans enjoyed Pumpkin Pudding, and puddings were a standard meal component for the English. The Pumpkin Pie did not develop until many, many decades later. The standard ways of serving pumpkins at the time were in stews and puddings.
