When I watched the short video I was very surprised to learn about what hardtacks were. I also understood how very important hardtacks and coffee was for soldiers during the civil war in the north and south. Even though the they were “tooth breakers” they really relied on them in order to not starve to death. In the video Matt Anderson shows an 150 year old hardtack and states how it looks the same as well as the day it was made. Hadtack could go bad if it was not packaged correctly but soldiers would just use coffee to clean it up enough to eat.
A food I would never be able to live without is bacon, I love bacon so much, I would give up any other food except bacon.
I love my bacon extra crispy
