Steve1989mre: “Let’s get that out on a tray. Nice!”
I’ve always loved the dimples in hard tack, I assume it’s so the weevils can feel like they live in apartment buildings.
Time for a game of soggy biscuit!
The only thing better than MREs if you want to be constipated
full of fiber, in the same way that particleboard is.
Hard tack was the inspiration for elvish lembas bread, no?
I have a passing interest in antique hiking/camping gear and I have no great love for hot food, so I should look into this.
No, lembas is quite the opposite of hardtack, because it was soft, tasted great and you didn’t need a lot of it to satiate your hunger.
Lembas is what hardtack would be if it was made by elves.
The magic stomach-filling qualities of lembas bread combined with the knowledge it was based on hard tack was then combined by Terry Pratchett:
The dwarf bread was brought out for inspection. But it was miraculous, the dwarf bread. No one ever went hungry when they had some dwarf bread to avoid. You only had to look at it for a moment, and instantly you could think of dozens of things you’d rather eat. Your boots, for example. Mountains. Raw sheep. Your own foot.
You could eat raw sheep, but not raw camel. Those animals were so vile that their names were always a heavy insult.
Damn I love Discworld… I miss Sir Pratchett so much…
GNU Terry Pratchett
K-ration biscuits weren’t very different from hardtack
The biscuits in German MREs are nicknamed armour plates. They are ok, though.
Ulf, schmeiß mal ‘n Panzerkeks hoch.
I bet those guys on the USS Abraham Lincoln would have done dirty stuff for some of that good shit.
Those poor kids
Obligatory fuck Trump and fuck Hegseth
