Pemmican is actually pretty tasty, IMHO. I mean, I wouldn't want to live off of it, but I would snack on it now and again as a kid.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For reasons that I have yet to figure, we always had pilot bread (hardtack) in the house as a kid.
Yeah, it's big in Canada (esp. Newfoundland) and Alaska. Apparently you need it for some Canadian meal called "fish and brewis" which also requires something called "scrunchions."

Scrunchions - is that what they make scrunchies out of?

Now I want bacalhau.

Yes! If you make your scrunchies out of fried bits of salt pork.

It's traditional for Christmas and does use salt cod.

fun salt meat fact. The ancient Roman soldiers were not vegetarians. The idea that they were got started because of stories of legions complaining when being given meat rations instead of barley. They complained about being given meat, not because they did not eat meat, but because they were sometimes given meat rations when they were short of salt to preserve it, and risked getting sick when the meat went bad. Fresh meat to be cooked immediately, or meat for extended use when there was salt available was fine with the legions.

Of course you do! I just had to look it up.
You should totally have some. In fact, I think Christmas will be ruined if you don't.
Do you have any salt cod?

Not currently, but I could certainly get some. Although, even more off-topically, my family will be having our own traditional pork pie for Christmas Eve.
