Jim > He brought along homemade pemmican which I found fascinating although more than unpalatable. Oliva > What a shame. It's one of my favorites. Do you have an example of the taste in mind? I've never eaten lousy pemmican. My grandmother taught me how to make it as a child. She used dried wild blueberries in it. Oh, I LOVE it now. But imagine going from a SAD orientation, with its attendant warnings about the dangers of red meat and saturated fat, and being offered a lump of homemade pemmican! Let's just say it was counterintuitive. Jim
