Deer roasted over a fire, no seasoning. Dandelion tea, and peyote.

The Miwok tribe of Northern California ate a lot acorn mush as their staple food. it takes SO much effort to transform those little useless treerocks into dust into porridge, it really is impressive how humans can learn to survive off of just about anything

3 sisters soup. Navajo puffy tacos are good too, but probably not authentic enough for the resident spergs here.

Native Americans (and early humans in other parts of the world you could say) are super hardcore, came to a foreign land with an entirely new ecosystem and plants and smoked, drank, and ate everything until they knew exactly what was safe and what wasn’t. Think of how the peace pipe exists. That requires someone to possibly sacrifice their life in chase of a high.

Or as they threw foliage on their fire they realized the smoke from this plant made them feel funny so they rolled it up and hit it fat

It's really not hard at all, I've made acorn flour numerous times and it makes delicious cookies. It's a little time consuming because depending on the type of oak you need to soak them in several changes of water to leech the tannins out, but other than that it's just dry and grind which isn't hard. Then you can do all sorts of things with it.

Most native dishes are quite simple, bit they knew what to harvest and how to cook so it's delicious. These trout lily bulbs were collected in huge amounts and woven into long braids for storage or trade. They were added to stews or wrapped and burried under coals until the whole thing caramelized. I've tried that myself and it's spectacular.

acorn mush, 3 sisters (beans corn squash), pemmican, and masa is native american from central america, so a turkey mole tamale is native and very kino. turkey.

That’s funny, because I was certain they didn’t have wheat before white people brought it over...

humans are the great stomachs of the animal kingdom.

indians didn't have bread.

My Cree friend showed me how they were doing it. It's easy to do when /out/.
Bannock came from Scot fur trader. Native took the flour and made bannock.
>Most Indigenous nations in North America have some version of bannock.Inuitcall itpalauga,Mi’kmaqluskinikn, andOjibwaba‘wezhiganag. The word derives from the Gaelicbannach, meaning morsel, which in turn likely came from the Latinpanis, which meansbread.

If it isn’t indigenous to North America, it is not Native American.

>>13156047
so pasta isnt european food? it came from china

>>13156040
what are you saying?
are you agreeing with us that bread is white people food that the indians adopted when they could?

>>13156047
European cunt and niggers should go back to their shithole then.

in canada and northeastern USA they would boil maple sap long enough past when it would become syrup and then pour it on fresh snow, then roll it up on sticks. i tried it once as a kid, it was actually pretty good. but it's not really feasible to prepare in a typical kitchen since you have to harvest raw maple sap and then pour it on snow

tomatoes arent from italy
potatoes arent from ireland

apple pie wasn't invented in the USA but Johnny apple seed was a real human bean.

Cultures take in new things from far off lands and transmute them to suit national tastes. Given enough time, they lose their association with the origin and they are only recognized as belonging to the country in which they were once new.
Is a hookah a Native American pipe? No, it's Middle Eastern. Were the Iroquois dipping fat pinches of Copenhagen? No, that's American. Were the Aztecs cooking lasagna for the whole family, with a tomato sauce simmered for hours? Were Incan nonnas making gnocchi like their grandma's taught them, using potatoes from the day before? No retard.
The pride that people have in their cultural artifacts and traditions is rightfully earned, and makes the world a more exiting and aesthetic place. (Of course, globalism is taking a hot wet shit on all of this, pic related.)

Cherries originated in the region between the Black and the Caspian Seas but George Washington, the man who cut down the cherry tree, was a real human bean (and a hero).

native american stuff is sort of interesting because so much of the actual history has been lost and the regions covered in north america are absolutely massive, it's hard for us to even know what regions had what crops available, some areas had pottery and some didn't which changed cooking techniques massively, a lot of people know about putting hot rocks into baskets and animal skins full of water
soapstone bowls were made in some regions too, but I don't blame any of them for ditching tradition once we brought metal pots over to trade for large amounts of hides

there is weird myth floating around that they didn't have any form of bread because they didn't have wheat, but it's a fairly foolish one considering how many generations of corn had to have been planted to go from teosinte to corn, and teosinte wasn't worth shit by comparison until it was made into a cultivar
it's pretty obvious that they'd have invented cornbread at some point

sunflowers are another interesting option for them, sunflower seed flour (ruined opportunity to call it sunflour) isn't particularly common but I'm uncertain which sunflowers were a cultivar. Both corn and sunflowers are from the south but do well in northern climates

i'm rambling but you can thank autistic native botanists for mountain dew

Popcorn was being eaten about 5000 years ago around Mexico. Don't know if you would consider that Native American but obviously a lot of people love it. It can be fairly healthy too as it's actually a whole grain food.

Similar to how olives are inedible without further processing

Then the spear chuckers should go back to asia
