Half-Cocked
40 Cal
To say I love food would be an understatement. I love the food of many countries it’s one of the things that’s made this country so great!
So to no surprise to me my love of food and history intersect again.
My earliest recollection of this is when I purchased a biblical times cookbook as a child. I wanted to know what they would of eaten back then. I was a curious little bugger some things never change.
Hardtack was apparently invented in 1792. Pretty smart stuff as it could feed someone for months on end. Useful during sailing missions and the like.
I am going to whip up a batch tomorrow. Has anyone tried this? Just curious. Hmm wonder if this was the first known “mre”.
