084 Pemmican - Why it’s Called That, What it is, How it’s Made, and How it Changed the World

Pemmican Week - Part 1 - the intro. (Part 2 comes in a later season)<br />It’s a favorite food for a variety of American Fad diets that cost a lot to follow. Yet it has a skilled and knowledge filled past, along with its own origin story. <br />Learn what pemmican is, why we call it that, and some wicked foreshadowing as you learn how it’s about to turn the prairies of the Americas upside down. <br />Oh yeah, and I make a wild leap of logic about the sexism of European translation of the Cree language. I sure know how to provide fun party conversation ideas. <br />Anyway, learn about salmon pemmican and the origin of modern American Army C-rations, if not MRE’s. <br /><br />Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor Turtle<br />Show Notes: <a href="https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/</a><br />Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com <br />Twitter: @THoAFood<br />Instagram: @THoAFood<br />Post: @THoAFood
