The message
from "Ophelia" contains these words:

Has anyone heard of this before??

Yes. From a former neighbor of mine who characterized it as an expensive
and tedious way to spoil meat.

True, but it depends on what you intend doing with it. I used to take it
as emergency rations when hikung in the Highlands, usually in January,
and often across very sparsely inhabited areas.

Weight was always a consideration, as was carrying high-energy food.
Haute cuisine en haute Écosse was a long way down the list.
