"Pemmican" is one of the standard items that the Walker children consume on their expeditions. In S&A it is explained that it is actually corned beef, while in Swallowdale it is called "pressed beef". Are pressed beef and corned beef the same thing? Or are there differences between them (I don't think I've ever had either).
