∙ 16y agoIn the past, people salted and dried their meat in order to keep it from spoiling as fast as fresh meat. Indians made pemmican, frontiersmen made jerky, etc. Smoking was another way to keep meat from going bad. Now, salted and smoked meat and fish is often a delicacy instead of a necessary way to keep food throughout the year.

In the Northern areas, some foods were hung to chill and freeze in a sheltered area, usually a closed barn, so that wild animals could not get at it.
