I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for. But here are a
few of the files in the Florilegium you might check:
In the FOOD section:
food-storage-msg  (85K)  6/ 8/00    Storing and preserving food in period. Non-
                                      refrigerated food for camping and Pennsic.
Lrds-Salt-Exp-art (15K)  9/11/00    "Lord's Salt Experiment" by Lady Hauviette
                                       d'Anjou.
pickled-food-msg  (95K)  5/ 7/01    Medieval pickled food. recipes.
potted-foods-msg  (13K)  5/ 9/01    Cooked foods put in pots and sealed w. fat.
Preservng-CMA-art (32K)  1/24/01    "Preserving Foods in the Current Middle
                                       Ages" by Hauviette d'Anjou.

In the FOOD-MEATS section:
meat-smoked-msg   (14K)  4/12/01    Medieval smoked meats. Smoking meats.

These are the ones I think have a fair amount of info on period meat
preservation. There are other files if you aren't as picky about
either "period" or "meat".
