The First Feast?

If you live in the United States, there's a good chance that on 25 November you'll celebrate Thanksgiving by getting together with your family and feasting on a big turkey. Indeed, holidays around the world are typically an excuse for a big group meal. Archaeologists working at a prehistoric site in Israel now claim to have found the earliest signs of a communal feast, apparently to commemorate the death of an elder 12,000 years ago. Although other researchers agree that this is the best early evidence for collective dining, one expert questions whether it was a true feast. via The First Feast? - ScienceNOW.
