    I worked for the forest service almost 40 years ago. I was 10 to 20 miles out in the wilderness for 10 day hitches. I was in a team of 12. We worked 10 hour days building trail. &nbsp;I could eat anything I wanted and never gained. In fact I had a hard time keeping weight on.

    My dad worked for a while at a lumber camp. He said the biggest toughest &nbsp;guy would stab &nbsp;with his fork the whole stack of hot cakes when the cook brought them to the table. Nobody would say a word and wait for more food to come out later

    We had Gypo shacks on our family cabin grounds and they where the baddest men around. &nbsp;Lil&apos; Jack at 94 years old walked out in the woods and decided he was done. We searched everywhere and never found him. &nbsp;Granted Wolves or Bears &nbsp;could have eaten everything about him. &nbsp;But we knew he died the &nbsp;The way he wanted!!!!🔥🔥💯💯 The OLD TIMERS THAT BUILT THIS GREAT COUNTRY 🔥🔥 WISH WE COULD GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS‼️‼️‼️💯💯👍👍🙏🙏🙏

    A staple of the family diet in Québec is called Paté Chinois - Chinese Pie. This being a layer of ground meat fried with onions, topped by a layer of creamed corn and then surmounted by a layer of mashed potatoes. Then baked for awhile in an oven. It&apos;s simple, cheap and very nourishing.<br>It originated in the logging camps around a place called China, Maine and had nothing to do with the country of the same name. Without the creamed corn we&apos;d call it Cottage Pie.
