It does indeed make wonderful camp food: we've taken a bunch of them to
Pennsic each of the last several years.  I have no idea whether it's
period.  Lots of sausage recipes survive from the Middle Ages and
Renaissance, and I'd be surprised if they didn't include smoked-and-
dried varieties, but I haven't studied them.
