On Lewis and Clark’s return trip from the Pacific coast they stopped at an indian village along the Colombia River and were met with endless racks of salmon drying.

They were so sick of eating salmon they traded for dogs to eat.

Back in early 2000, the military took me to coastal Oregon for a TDY assignment, and during some of my free time I was able to tour Fort Clatsop where Lewis & Clark wintered from 1805-6. I remember looking over some of the journal entries and recall them logging how the troops in the expedition were bitching about the sustained diet of elk venison.
