=Pueblo food= The Pueblos were mostly vegetarians, but they would eat meat when it was available.They hunted for small animals such as rabbit, gopher, and squirrel. They also hunted large animals such as deer, pig, and mountain lions.While the man is hunting, the woman and children go out to pick berries and things like that while they were in season.

The main crop the Pueblo raised is corn. Corn is eighty percent of their diet. They have a crop watcher to watch what time is the best time to take the crops back to their home. To get water to their crops the Pueblo would sometimes go to the top of a snowy hill and roll a giant snowball to the village. They also used a special system.

. Pueblo store dry food for winter like dry corn and vegetables. They put their food in a pottery to store it for winter. They use a special thing to cook their bread named horno. Horno is an oven that Pueblo Indians use to cook. They trade with others for things they could not grow or plant. Most of the food pueblos eat is the food the plant themselves. That's why lots of people on internet say they are farmers. Here I found a recipe that Pueblo Indian use to cook. It says that the recipe can cook pueblo Indian breadpudding. Here is the recipe.

Remove from heat; carefully stir in hot water. Return to heat to dissolve mixture about 5 minutes. Pour syrup evenly over toast mixture. Toss to moisten.

Turn half the mixture into lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole; sprinkle with cheese. Top with remaining toast mixture. Bake uncovered in 325 oven for 20 minutes. Pueblo are America Indians. They live in Arizona, New Mexico,Utah,Nevada and Colorado. I guess its sord of hard to farm in there country because they have a bad place in there country and thats why they have to trade things.
