It had been a long journey through cold mountains, but
that was far from everyone's minds. There was a feast, or what passed for one
now, laid out before them. Dirty camping plates were filled with beef, rice,
and fruit. During the journey over the mountains, they survived on pork jerky
and root vegetables, usually cold. After days of hard chewing, the beef was
unbelievably tender and the fruit marvelously soft. And the flavor! Each swore that
it was the best meal they could remember eating, even though it would have been
considered pretty standard fare just a decade ago.
