I LOVE salmon! That’s my most favorite fish, besides a native cutthroat trout cooked on a hot, flat rock in the middle of a campfire. M-m-m-m-m-m, yummy!
Just don’t eat any of that farm raised Atlantic salmon. Besides tasting rather nasty, its chock full of chemicals. Most of it comes from Chile, also Canada. Local tribes here are trying to get a fish processing facility together to sell their fish caught in the Columbia river, some even do mail orders now. Thats the fish I eat. Even though wild fish has less poisons then farm raised, they have done studies on Indian caught fish along the river that show there are still chemicals in the fish. Won’t hurt the average American, but Indians eat so much more fish than the average. Some Indians are trying to cut back consumption. I try not to think about it to much, I eat it almost every day.

Hey Patty this one is for you!
Up here we have this stuff called Choke Cherries, wild cherries pin cherries etc. As you’ve read they have a very ancient use and so over time the use of them has changed from a survival staple to a rather gourmet cuisine.
I grew up on both the Saskatoon berry and these small wild Cherries.
In our home corn starch pudding was very common, in England they call it Bla Mange( blah maug) or something like that, also the girls from English boarding schools called it “dead baby” which tells you how much they liked it.
Anyway some folks up here have combined both, now you may not have these cherries in your area but any thing will work even blue berries , etc. When making your pudding leave out the milk and add fruit juice from the Cherries etc, it sets up really well and looks very nice, I have not put milk on it but go ahead and try it.
Oh up here grits are cooked and milk and sugar added to it , called corn meal cereal, etc. The difference between north and south in breakfast is that we use milk or cream on hot breakfast cereals with sugar. At forty below in the winter salt and butter on it really does not do it for you.
