Tacky Treats

Hardtack was a simple biscuit consumed by just about every soldier in the Civil War. Made from flour, salt, vegetable fat and water, it fit easily in haversacks and could be taken on long marches because it wouldn’t spoil. Unfortunately, the biscuits got rock hard — and had to be soaked or fried in grease to eat. Grease? Carbs? Seems like good fortune to me.
