  3. Back in my Twitter days, I befriended a guy online from Georgia.
    We were both interested in the military and #military #history. One day he sends me this link & suggested we both try to make #hardtack, a common food #ration for both #Union & #Confederate armies. The original recipe lived up to its reputation, hard as a rock.
    Later we came up with different methods of making them to be more palatable.

    Read the link if interested.

  4. Did you know that #hardtack, the long lasting flour & water #cracker used by seafarers & soldiers, was made round at #sea & square on land?

    During sea voyages, hardtack was stored in barrels (hence: round), while during land campaigns it was stored in wooden boxes, & therefore made square.

    #British Royal Navy sailors were issued 50g more hardtack than #US #Navy sailors.

    During Queen Victoria's reign, now made with machines, hardtack became a cost efficient hexagonal shape.
