084 Pemmican - Why it’s Called That, What it is, How it’s Made, and How it Changed the World
Listen now
Description
Pemmican Week - Part 1 - the intro. (Part 2 comes in a later season)
It’s a favorite food for a variety of American Fad diets that cost a lot to follow. Yet it has a skilled and knowledge filled past, along with its own origin story.
Learn what pemmican is, why we call it that, and some wicked foreshadowing as you learn how it’s about to turn the prairies of the Americas upside down.
Oh yeah, and I make a wild leap of logic about the sexism of European translation of the Cree language. I sure know how to provide fun party conversation ideas.
Anyway, learn about salmon pemmican and the origin of modern American Army C-rations, if not MRE’s.
