| Publisher Description: When you hear the term "mountain man" what comes to mind? Dan Haggerty as Grizzly Adams? Robert Redford as Jeremiah Johnson? Self-sufficient men living off the land filling those most basic needs of shelter, warmth and food. Yes, the food. That was the seed for this book and now this expanded third edition. I wanted to track down basic foods, country and frontier staples. Rustic grub and country recipes in all their satisfying simplicity like Hard Tack, Rhubarb Cake, Sour Dough and Corn Pone. That is what is presented here: older recipes, some with new twists, that go as far back as 150 years. This edition adds in foraged foods and home made jerky recipes. These meals were made by mountain men, homesteaders and settlers, country folk and even weekend warriors. Food is the connecting thread that binds cultures, generations, family and friends. For some it's gastronomic anthropology. I like to think of it simply as tradition. Passing the knowledge, the warmth and the feast on to whoever joins us at the table. Sharing a meal is after all, one of the best parts of life. |
