Human: What are some common meals, that people who settle the Old West, used, on the trail? I'm curious how a lot of the people, who used Calistogas, what kinds of food they ate everyday.

Assistant: Sure, let’s see.  One thing a lot of the pioneers were used to eating was biscuits, which are made with flour and water and baked in an oven, like a bread.  They were an important source of carbohydrates for people on the trail.  And many settlers made pemmican, which is a form of jerky. It’s made of ground, dried meat mixed with fat, which is a convenient way to store meat.  Did you have anything else in mind?

Assistant: Are you interested in food from 1850? Or in the later 19th century?
