It's Mormon Picnic Time

[_Hades]

So the Book of Mormon mentions everything that wasn't here and none of the things that were here. That's weird.

All those who wish to comment on this post, fire away.

The Book of Mormon also fails to note whether Curlom is best fried, baked or grilled. Despite this lack of detail, my speculation is that they were best served curried over rice. The rice of course was imported via the Tapir Express as was any of the exquisite fine wines demanded by a pre-columbian Blixa.

Since the ancient immigrants in the Book of Mormon were Christians centuries before Jesus, they probably pre-observed the Word of Wisdom as well.

We know they would have had tobacco, so their bruises and sick cattle would be in good shape. But I'm concerned about the lack of oats for their horses and rye for their pigs.

Just a side note. Tobacco was and is used for ceremonial purposes other than smoking. It is offered as a gift at Pow Wows and Potlatchs and is offered to the ground when berry picking or hunting as payment for the receiving of gifts from the forest. (These are my own observations of living with Carrier-Sekani tribes, specifically the Yekooche, Nak'adzli and Tl'azt'en from 1988 to 1993 and amongst the Dogrib from 1974 to 1980) Oh, and none of them were Mormon.
