  Something seems a little off about what she's saying, speaking first hand about having a rule where what's hunted that evening must be eaten.

  First of all, hunting is much better in the morning.

  Second, it's pretty much impossible for one family to eat the meat from an entire deer. One animal yeilds too much meat. This is the same with fruit trees and other produce. So when you live in a real situation like this, a lot of meat and produce is given away (not even sold - since families are just happy to see it eaten instead of rotting).

  Cow is a cow? Leonard, I am surprised at you. Surely you were playing devil's advocate.

  One observation about local food - traditionally, mountain people used to trade to get sale from seaside people - so there is a need for some traded food, like salt.
