Sadly that wasn't the case for the Stellar's sea cow. Poor things got eaten into extinction. It was really sad too, they were a monogamous social species, so there were cases of the surviving mate following ships around for days in the hopes that their mate would come back after the sailors drug them out of the water, and of some repeatedly ramming ships to try and free their mate or another member of their group...

I knew an old guy from Newfoundland that would have me pick up "hard bread" from the fish market for him every time I went to Ottawa. It was like those cheapo dinner rolls you get at the grocery store, but the consistency of a brick. Apparently, you were supposed to boil it with fish. ..... I was never brave enough to try it, but he loved it as a taste of home and was always thrilled to get it, along with a container of loose leaf earl grey tea. Edit: typo corrected.

It's made by the Newfoundland company Purity. It's called hardbread and is served with salt cod as a dish called fish and brewis....sounds like bruise. Purity also makes a similar product called sweetbread which is softer and sweet eaten as is with a cup of tea or coffee.

Hello northwest German here. I stumbled upon one of your words for sailor's foods and was astonished over the spelling: Lobscouse. We spell it Labskaus (sounds just like yours) and I have eaten that in the 70s as a regular dish. It contains herring, beef, red beets and (after getting introduced by Prussian King in 18th century) potato mash. I am likely forgetting some ingredients now, it's been a while and I have been a vegetarian since 1984. The red beets make it look very red or purple. It is a really good nutrition provider at sea.

Lobscouse (or Labskaus as we say) actually is pretty famous here in northern germany though I think the recipes differ nowadays compared to 18th/19th century cooking. It basically consist of meat mixed with potatoes which is mashed, spiced with butter and salt to your liking. Depending on the region, one does usually eat it together with pickled cucumbers, red beetroot, pickled herring, fried eggs and/or black bread. Though I guess on long journeys across the sea, hard tag is to be prefered.

In keeping with the naming convention of the Hardtack line, Grog was the name of Seabiscuit's identical half-brother and was super slow. If you ever read the book which I recommend as it's meticulously researched and quite amusing, you'd enjoy the bits about the trainer's hilarious tactics using Grog to deflect any attention and stress on Seabiscuit. Probably most surviving, non-running photos of Seabiscuit are actually of Grog. He even did Seabiscuit's closely monitored pre-race training runs with Grog so Seabiscuit could train in peace during off-hours since a registered pratice session often drew large crowds.

I grew up in the arctic Inupiat village of Barrow Alaska, it was my understanding that hardtack came to Barrow with the whalers and with them they brought a form of cracker made by FFV called Sailor Boy, this is still to this day one of the natives and my favorite foods. Spread with butter, peanut butter, and many other spreads. This kept me happy while hunting, camping and just for a plain simple snack.

Interestingly, when I read The Lord of the Rings, the description of lembas reminded me of my father's German Stollen bread recipe. The cognac used to marinate the dried fruit makes the dough raise less but keep longer and the refined sugar coat also helps. Lembas is supposed to be delicious, laborious to make, feed well and keep long without spoiling. Properly made and aged Stollen will keep for months, is dense, nutritious and delicious. We used to age my father's Stollen for a month, encased in clingwrap. Once we couldn't wait and opened it before even two weeks were over. It just wasn't as tasty.

It looks like you've made a particularly flavorless version of zweiback (like biscuit, meaning twice baked.) Also, convalescing sailors often had their diets limited to pap, ship's biscuit crumbled (or maybe chiseled) into water, allowed to soften, and crushed to a watery pulp. If a sailor were really laid up, one of his mates would actually spoon feed him as well as make the pap. richard -- "Them as can do has to do for them as can't.

I finally decided to give this a shot. Several distant relatives of mine fought in the American Civil War, so I thought it'd be fun to try something they ate. Also, I want to see how hardtack squares up against the infamous MRE cracker, which I'm more familiar with. For those that never had the pleasure, MRE crackers are so dry that as a joke we'd bet the new privates like ten bucks that they couldn't eat both crackers that come in an MRE in under a minute without water. Inevitably, the guy would try and cram an entire cracker in his mouth, where it would soak up all the moisture, turn to a thick paste and glue his mouth shut.

Billings (1887) elaborated on the " maggots and weevils" that he encountered in hardtack.

Having made hardtack as hiking/camping food, I've found that the best way to treat them after cooking is to put them in a container with a large handful of salt per half gallon of container size, then throw that in your car during the summer. Shake it up a bit every so often. The heat inside your car will pull any remaining moisture out, and the salt will absorb it, keeping it from spoiling the hardtack. By the end of the summer, you will have a product so hard it will break your teeth if you're not careful, but it will last forever.

I followed the tutorial and mine turned out pretty good! They Cracked and rosed a little bit.
