Im not sure it can ever taste great. I would settle for being edible. Even with a tons of berries I still get bored real quick of it real quick. Birds are the only ones I have ever convinced that it taste good. Your probably aware, but I feel the need to remind you it's survival food and not really designed to be pleasure food.

My Grandpa, who was 100% Cherokee, was telling me about Pemmican one day. After he told me his Mom always insisted he always have Pemmican on him for emergencies. I asked him what Pemmican tastes like?
He said, "think of Beef Jerky, that smells and tastes like wet dog. You will only want to eat it in an emergency when there is nothing left to eat. But there was nothing better to have with you if you needed it"

I have tried it, it is nothing I would make out of choice. But it had a purpose in it's day.  :tup:
Interesting…well I’m gonna have to try it for myself just to be sure! I just want something that I can make myself to pack with me hunting. I’m sick of bars and the majority of them are filled with awful crap that’s not meant for human consumption.

I tried to make it one time, and my hunting partners called them hockey pucks!

Try the Larabars, they are pretty good , but expensive.  I made a version of them for a while, kind of tough on a food processor, think I burned one up, because it is mostly a date/almond paste with other flavorings.
