The following is a quote from H.M. Robinson's
"The Great Fur Land."

"Take the scrapings from the driest outside corner of a very stale piece of
cold roast beef, add to it  lumps of rancid fat, then garnish all with long
human hairs and short hairs of dogs and oxen and you have a fair imitation
of common pemmican."
("Empire of the Bay-An Illustrated History of the Hudson's Bay Company" by
Peter C. Newman, 1989, page 121)

I don't think he likes pemmican!
