a. Dried meat
b. Liquor

I've had this stuff! I took a Civil War class, and everybody had to do a special presentation. Mine was on medicine, and I brought photos of a few over-the-counter meds that we take for granted but were in their infancy then.

The star was the person who made some hardtack. It was sorta tasteless, but it made up for it by being so hard to eat. The prof said the Civil War soldiers ate it with their coffee -- they dunked it just like some people do doughnuts.

Someone showed me some hardtack recently IIRC it was from Newfoundland, where hardtack and salt cod is a local favorite.

A favorite? Hardtack must be a traditional staple for local fishermen, but I can't imagine it's a favorite when anything else at all is available.

Did they really risk another potential "Uranus" gaffe?

Wow - I'd have reached Classic Millionaire with all my lifelines. Not often I can say that these days.
