There is a working salt mine in Salzburg. To my way of thinking, any troop in the area would seize the mine. Salt would once again become "money" as in the time of the Roman Empire. Trade salt for meat, veggies....
AS others have said in this thread, canning, pickling, salting, smoking would all resurrect VERY quickly once the power went out.
I think Nate's comment is appropriate. If you had a group of recovering troops, preparing food is tedious, but not necessarily strenuous.
Hmmm..... Scenario fodder!!!????@@@
