hardtack thread

[Anonymous No.14079590]

firstly whats your favorite hard tack ratio?

how do you store hard tack?

has anyone tried adding spices to keep bugs away or using different flour for better nutritional value?

How about some cardamon and clove? I'm a slut for the Townsend's by the way.

I don't think using a sane amount would be a problem. You'd have to be using the good Vietnamese cinnamon that contains cinnamon oil to get a problem.

Why are bugs a problem? Store it in airtight container. Bugs aren't going to magically spawn out of thin air into them, they have to fucking come from someplace.

i was thinking along the lines in having them in a situation where i could not provide a airtight container ,ex hiking,innawoods

no one in the history of anywhere EVER had hard tack as a favorite food. if you put ANYTHING in it but flour it's not hard tack it's a cookie.

i think op means stuff to make it last longer and get better nutrition

[Anonymous No.14081598]

>>14081568
no if you put anything else in hard tack besides flour and salt it will last less long, sugar will attract water. anything else will go rancid.

The only thing I can think of is you could put 1 gram of calcium propionate to 1000 grams of flour before mixing and baking it. but even then that's not needed if the shit is stored in an air tight container.

calcium propionate prevents the growth of mold and is used in yeast breads. it does not work in breads with a high ph. mold can't grow if there is not enough humidity. if your hardtack is growing anything it isn't made right or stored right.

Maybe some chickpea flour for nutrition? The only kind of thing that would infest hardtack would probably be something that would also enhance the nutritional value.

I knew a guy who argued with me that raw honey was antibiotic "blah blah methylglyoxal, blah blah hydrogen peroxide"

shortly after that he got bit by a spider and since he was a poorfag he decided to put honey on it. he got a massive infection and came close to losing his leg. cost him more than if he had just gone to the doctor in the first place.

[Anonymous No.14083437]

Probably because of the poison the spider injected into him

either way honey IS a preservative but the biscuits would have to be submerged in them to do any good. adding honey to the biscuits would cause them to eventually get soggy. unless sealed in an air tight container.

you are losing site of what hard tack is. it's a last ditch food, or a supplement to other survival rations. it's designed to last a long time, not taste good or be very nutritious. to fill your belly in time of need.

if you want something tasty and that will last 30 years buy some freeze dried food.

also no one eats hardtack directly you soak them in water and make a porridge. real hard tack is mostly inedible in it's storage form.
