I remember reading that some Indian tribe fought them for naming that "garbage" with what they prize as their native food, but they lost. Btw, I love REAL pemmican, made with beef fat and beef. Delicious. Only problem is that I eat it solid til it's gone. :) --Elizabeth -----Original Message----- > According to a reviewer on amazon,> > http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LKTCVW> the word "pemmican" was > trademarked years ago by Bear Valley company. > > The product seems to bear little resemblance to classic pemmican. No kidding! Yuck. It's interesting that they could get a trademark on pemmican and call their fruit product by that name. Maybe someone from the list would like to write a review for the above website.... I think it would be slightly different from the reviews that are currently posted.
