The famous trailblazer Daniel Boone spent many years of his life living in the wilderness.He early learned to forage for food.The following recipe is one which not only Boone, but all woodsman were accustomed to preparing over the campfire. For salt pork, Boone might have substituted jerky (dried beef) or fresh squirrel or other game. He also would have used wild onions, mushrooms, dandelions, and other such edibles when they were available.Instead of noodles he probably would have emptied a handful of cornmeal into his soup pot.
