Pemmican is a kind of travel food first made by Cree and other Indigenous peoples of North America: dried meat, beaten small, mixed with fat — and sometimes berries — then pressed into hard, flat cakes. It keeps a long time and gives a lot of energy, which is why hunters and later Arctic travellers packed it. English borrowed the word from Cree: pimiy is grease or fat, and the rest means something like 'made by hand'. It is a history and outdoor-skills word now; you will not hear it at a Taiwan night market. Some shops sell modern bars they call pemmican, but the old thing is meat and fat, not a sweet snack.
