Ditempat kami, di daerah nelayan, ada yg menggunakan sistem pengawetan degan pengasapan, yg blm dimengerti disini bagaimana membangun gudang bawah tanah.selain kedalaman, tidak disebutkan , bangunan harus dibangun dengan persyaratan bagaimana?
I remember that my grandmother always had potatoes, apples and milk in her cellar and also many glasses of jam and cooked fruits, and some of my farming relatives also had smoked sausages and meat there.
For me was the most astonishing one, the method with clay- i never saw this. I only knew that one can conserve vegetables, by putting them into a sand filled box in the cellar. Thanks for sharing this knowledge in these unsecure times !
Salt fermentation. Smoke. Underground. Pemican. Jerky. Pickling. Honey. Wood ash. Ice boxes.
Canning isn't ancient. Napoleon offered a reward for whoever could come up with a way to preserve food to feed his troops.

Outro could have included "without use of kitchen scale" A spoonful (1 tbl) salt per pint jar works same for fermenting/ pickling.
Didn't know confit was preservation. Have to go look that up now. Thanks

More on fermentation
Fat was never "cooking waste"'.
As a Microbiologist, I hate that people are throwing the word 'probiotic' around as a buzzword and not know exactly what it is.
Too much of probiotics will kill you in extremely graphic ways, so NO your gut doesn't crave probiotics. Your gut handles it themselves well enough.
Eggs. If you raise your own you probably already know not to wash them. They don't require refrigeration.
You can keep store bought eggs fresh for a long time without refigeration by submerging them in oil. It seals the porous shells.
What about bugs and flies laying eggs on the meat as it dries in the open?
