VariationsRubaboo

Rubaboo is a common

corn, with grease (bear or pork) and a thickening agent (bread or flour) that makes up the base of the stew.[2] Pemmican[3] and maple sugar were also commonly added to the mixture
.

Rubaboo that is made by the Plains Métis is often made with pemmican,

thickening agents added when available.[3][6]

Origins

The etymology of the word is a blend of the French word roux (a thickener used in gravies and sauces) with the word for soup ("aboo") from an Algonquian language,[7] such as Anishnaabe naboo.[8] Although pemmican can be added to the stew, Rubaboo and pemmican remain separate dishes, but are culturally linked closely to each other in Metis history.[9]
