While pioneer cuisine may seem strange to us today, the settlers had no choice but to use what they had to survive - and they got pretty creative. Life in the Old West was harsh, journeys were long, and settlers had no guarantees the food they packed on a wagon train would last until their final destination. They hunted local wildlife, used replacement ingredients that traveled well (such as apple cider vinegar to make a passable pie), and preserved everything they could. #OldWest #PioneerRecipies #WeirdHistory\n
