[Sca-cooks] Simon Bolivar's Pemmican

[otsisto]

Most Pemmican has meat but it doesn't have to have meat, nor made of animal
fat.

Was discussing Wars in general, and Simon Bolivar came up, with some
of the changes he made to the then-current army organization by
Europeans. One of the more intriguing details, was that as a journey
food, he developed and used a variant of pemmican that was compact and
nutritious enough for a soldier to carry 5 days of rations with him at
all times.

I've been searching the "Net, but haven't had any luck finding a
recipe for this substance. Can any of you, who are more skilled with
the 'Net perhaps find me that recipe? I'm thinking, knowing what I do
about travel foods, and pemmican in general, that it should contain a
mix of dried meat, fat, and likely local berries/fruits, but a
specific recipe would be a great help.

Thanks,
