And boy! Was that good! You could really go for frozen rabbit turds mixed with yaller snow. Beats Baked Alaska and cooked goose liver anyday. Don't you go being jealous of country fare and go puttin' it down. I daresay your boiled over, baked out city foods don't have half as much food value as a dandy baked rabbit turd with some moose hair in't.
Here'z a good trail stew.
1. one pair mukluks
2. one broken snowshoe
3. some frozen fish guts
4. sweepings off the cuttin board
5. some bits of stuff off the floor.
6. other moving things that don't pull their weight.
(Don't ignore crawly things.)
Chop it all up (optional), throw it all in a pot and boil it until you are hungry enough to eat it. Remember, it's protein.
One thing I noticed was that no matter what you ate, after paddling or walking in the bush for 12 hours, and being totally exhausted, just about anything in a can tasted as good as food had ever tasted. When I got home, I would open the same tin, and think it had lost half its flavour. I should start a restaurant where no one gets fed until they have worked at hard labour for 8 hours. They would think you were the best cook in the world. Another secret is to make them wait and wait. It always tastes better, all other things being equal. Now if they could work hard, wait and steal it, you just couldn't beat it. Hard to make a living selling food to people that they steal though.
