Actually, I make "pemmican" without technology...by using ground beef high
in fat (raw) with dried fruit- usually cherries, blueberries or
cranberries. Just grind it all up and then dry it out.
I do little balls and then flatten them. They make great travel food.
How would that require technology?
I don't like to cook anything if I can avoid it.
