Hard Tack and Bully Beef...

[182 CEF]

Well for all those "hard core" WW1 fellows out there you can still buy Hard Tack ( Hard Bread, or what ever you want to call them) In Canada a company call Purity out of Newfoundland still makes them. I have eaten these things many times during US Civil War re-enactments. The bag they come in has differant ways to serve these things. I prefer to eat them hard ( after braking them with a hammer, rifle butt, axe, ect.

This company has been making them since the 1840s the same way.

For the weak of heart ( or low stress guys) you can buy "sweet bread" looks the same but not as hard.

Only the Newfies can keep a company running doing this!!!

I asked how long this will 'KEEP" in the bag under the sink. I was told that if it is damp than only 2 or 3 years!!

Trust me I believe them!!!

Yeah, you can still get issued with it in the 24 Hour Ration packs in the Brit Army! (or at least you could about 10 years ago - feeling old now!!! )
