pemmican?

[Need2Lift]

Coach,

I was wondering if you have ever used or recommended pemmican, such as the stuff shown in the following link, as a food to use during training:

It sounds pretty gross, frankly, but from a nutrition standpoint it seems like it would be a good fit for the SS program.

Thanks.

Sounds exactly like pemmican to me. I don't normally post a lot of product links here, but this sounds interesting.

Damn, that stuff sounds fucked. Cherries and beef? And wasn't tallow historically reserved for candle production? Yeesh - the mind reels.

I like the "Pemmican Pail" delivery system, though. I can just see a handful of chalky, sweaty dudes at the gym, stuffing their fists into the pail for a boost. "Dude, pass the beef bucket!"

Aside from the cherries, though, why not just eat jerky? Save the tallow for lighting your homestead.

Does it taste like shit? It sounds like a Paleo Kit for men.

$3.50 for 20 grams of protein? And another $7.50 for "free" shipping?

They sell mackerel in Dollar General here, imported from China, for a buck a can. Each 15.5 oz. can has 78 grams and 500 calories. There is yellow chicken soup - like fat floating on the top, which I'm hoping is omega 3. The supermarket sells it at double, which is still 8 times cheaper than pemmican.


Of course with the mackerel you will have to add your own honey and cherries.

Have you immensely practical fuckers no sense of history?

If I may add, don't pig out on mackerel regularly, there's a decent amount of mercury in them big fish.

The historical record is pretty slim on Sitting Bull's back squat, if you wanna go that route.

You're not actually eating a pound of cat food at a time are you?

Tallow was also used in shaving soaps (the kind you used a shaving brush for). Art of Shaving still uses tallow in their soaps.

Anyway, if I could buy a stick of this stuff off a shelf, I would give it a shot.
