You Won't Believe The Meals Cowboys ACTUALLY ATE in The Wild West
You Won't Believe The Meals Cowboys ACTUALLY ATE in The Wild West In 1881, on the Chisholm Trail north of Doan's Crossing in north Texas, a chuck-wagon cook named Charlie Hart pulled a three-month-old slab of salt pork out of his oak chuck box at four in the morning, brushed approximately forty live maggots off the surface with the flat of his knife blade, sliced off the top quarter-inch of the meat, and threw the rest into a hot skillet for fifteen cowboys' breakfast. None of those men got sick. None of them complained. All of them came back for seconds before the sun was up. Resources Chuckwagon food history — https://www.nps.gov/places/the-chuckw...
