What did the Lewis & Clark Expedition eat on their two year journey?

Meat.

Whatever they could kill.
Each man was eating a few pounds of wild game...per day!
Possibly as much as 5 pounds (per day, per man) on occasion.

The rifles they were issued (by Thomas Jefferson)
were the top of the line for the time.
(As the AR-15/M-4 is today)
They were carrying 50 cal. Black Powder Rifles.
Lewis even had a B.B. Gun! Really!

As for fruits and vegetables...
not so much, not much at all, very, very, little.
Why not?
Because they were men, on a long camping trip, without women
(except for a young squaw they hooked-up with)
Sure, they picked a few berries if easily available.
What they wanted was BEAR MEAT.
But deer and elk were acceptable too.

Then when they got to the Columbia River.....
The bears and wild boars were no more to be found easily.
Instead they had ample salmon, plenty of salmon.
Which the men HATED!
Because they wanted MEAT!
They ate salmon for the winter...and that was about it.

Then they turned around and went home.
End of Story.

Their return to civilization was a VERY BIG DEAL!
An AMAZZING achievement
for a young United States of America
Comparable to Neil Armstrong... stepping onto-the-moon.
(I know, I know; but that's how the story goes)

And guess what happened to those men who only ate MEAT?

Do you know?

I don't know...they ALL returned home safely as HEROS!!!!

And then Lewis killed himself.
What a shitty ending to a great story.

Got milk?
Got Meat?
Beef, it's good for you.
Pig, the other white meat.
And Chicken...which actually tastes like chicken.
(Personally...I LOVE Red Sockeye Salmon)
Sardines too!

Just wanted to share a little American History with you.
Because soon, very soon....
You know what's coming don't you?
Sure, you're on GLP.

They plan on feeding us bugs.
You'll own nothing, eat bugs, and enjoy your slavery.
NO MORE MEAT!
Because animal flesh makes men STRONG, AGGRESSIVE, HEALTHY
and constantly HORNY.

Yep, eat meat and fight, fuck, hunt and fish.

Can't have that in the New World Order
Can we?

i dont fully get the concept but since were talking about food.

Ah, so...Speedy Gonzalez then!

Quesadilla or nachos todos!

¿Por qué no ambos?

Pocahontas’s vag — licky licky licky, slurp slurp

The Gerondani (spelling from memory) rifle was not a BB-gun. The thing scared Indians so badly that they left the expedition alone.

may be you should asked google first.

From William Clark’s journal: “It requires 4 deer, or an elk and a deer, or one buffalo to supply us for 24 hours.” Additionally, 193 pounds of “portable soup” were ordered as an emergency ration when stores ran out and game was scarce or unavailable.

The soup was produced by boiling a broth down to a gelatinous consistency, then further drying it until it was rendered quite hard and desiccated. Not exactly a favorite with the men, it nonetheless saved them from near starvation on a number of occasions. Each man consumed 9 pounds of meat per day, when available, and the designated hunters of the Corps were never without work during the entire journey.

Deer (all species combined) 1,001; Elk 375; Bison 227; Antelope 62; Bighorn sheep 35; Bears, grizzly 43; Bears, black 23; Beaver (shot or trapped) 113; Otter 16; Geese and Brant 104; Grouse (all species) 46; Turkeys 9; Plovers 48; Wolves (only one eaten) 18; Indian dogs (purchased and consumed) 190; Horses 12.

In addition to this list, the Corps ate countless smaller animals such as hawk, coyote, fox, crow, eagle, gopher, muskrat, seal, whale blubber, turtle, mussels, crab, salmon and trout. It also does not list the many then-unfamiliar varieties of fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, seeds and nuts that were found to be edible. However, all these are mentioned in the journals, oftentimes accompanied by detailed accounts of the adventures associated with their gathering.

Pocahontas hooked-up with Capt. John Smith and she
moved to England; or something like that....
about 150 years BEFORE Lewis & Clark.

Sacagawea was the chick who hitched a ride with the boys.

Good thing she did!
Because otherwise....they all be DEAD.
