Pemmican is the predecessor of mincemeat. It is made with powdered dried meat and rendered fat, and a few berries. It provides excellent nutrition. No, I have not tried it yet...my husband can't deal with the idea, but he is getting there. Although I plan to make a mincemeat-type dish (not a pie, no crust) this Thanksgiving. There is a wealth of information on pemmican in Neanderthin, as well as a recipe for Ray's Pemmican. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
