404 years ago in Plymouth, the early Pilgrims and Native Americans shared a meal after an appallingly hard year. About half the settlers had died. Food was scarce. They weren’t celebrating abundance so much as survival.
Some of you may not remember this, but 404 was also an early internet message meaning “content not found.” You reached the site, asked for a page—and it simply wasn’t there.
Looking for turkey and stuffing? Pumpkin pie? Mashed potatoes? In 1621?
That request would have returned a 404 error. Or at least a very puzzled look.
