Meat drying was super important for Indians & Trappers of 17-18th century.
In some cases whole economy was based around drying meat and processing it for further use (Metis and pemmican).
I mean simple recipes:
Drying Frame + meat cut - > dried meat cut
Would nice to have represented in Salem how important food preservation is.
Also don't be shy add spoilage to more food groups, meat group would be especially easy to handle.
