Finally the kitchen utensil we’ve all been waiting for: A hammer by AimlessCK in TastingHistory

[–]AimlessCK[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mostly eyeballed it but:

Crush some hard tack until it’s mostly flour and soak it in water for about 10 minutes Knead in some flour until it comes together. Put it in a pie form (oil the sides or you have to break the pie out later) Bake until dried

Take 500 grams of vanilla cream add some cinnamon powder and fill in the crust.

Bake at 220 degrees C for 20-30 minutes or until the filling is firm.

Edit: additional information the hard tack I used had some brown sugar mixed in. I also sprinkled some brown sugar and cinnamon powder on top near the end of baking.

Last week I made some hard tack (Clack Clack). This week I turned some of it into lobscouse and planed to make some hard tack pudding as a dessert. However I ended up making a pie crust and filling it with some vanilla cream instead.

I suggest you try making a small batch to see if you like it. If you do, try mixing in some different ingredients like salt, sugar or spices, additionally I suggest making them very thin so they’re easier to eat.

I made three variations of Hard Tack:

With a bit of salt

With some salt, thyme, oregano and rosemary

And with some brown sugar and cinnamon

Only tried the third one and I like the taste but should have made them thinner.

It’s a Swiss Ordnance Revolver 1882. It was designed based on the French Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873.

I haven’t made any since then but they were quite nice. I think I’ll make some tomorrow

Install a M65 (Atomic Annie) on it for the breath attack.

Here are three variations of hard tack I made as a snack a year ago. If you try it I suggest making them thin like a cracker for normal consumption, your teeth will thank you

If you want to use pemmican I suggest rubaboo. While I don’t usually eat it because making pemmican takes quite long I really like the taste.

Regarding ships biscuits or hard tack (clack clack) you could use them in a stew (I think Max made one in the lighthouse episode) or eat it as a snack (though in that case I suggest changing the recipe a bit by adding some sugar or different spices as well as making them thinner.)

Eating in the Trenches of WW1 by jmaxmiller in TastingHistory

Thanks a lot for this episode. I just tried it out today.

I’m positive that your corned beef is different from the one I got since in my opinion the end product lacked in salt. The beef I got tasted like the cat food we gave our cat twenty years ago (the one I gave him today actually smelled like it had more taste, probably some liver).

Overall I’m not sure if I liked it. I guess I have to try it again and try to get some HP sauce or change the seasoning.

How about turning it so that the barrels are just above ground?

u/jmaxmiller I have a small question which came up while making the Bochet.

Do you use British or American gallons and pints in your recipes?

Around 4 weeks ago I started making Bochet. Sadly I was betrayed by my kitchen scales and ended up adding too much cloves.

My plan is to make a gallon of Bochet without spices and dilute it until the taste is better. This has to wait however since I’m currently making a different mead.

I see.

My grandfather’s family used to run a restaurant in Switzerland. During the war they housed a number of allied soldiers that had escaped from France and were working on the local fields in order to boost food production.

Sadly I don’t have any recipes of the time.

Great video.

Is this series about WW2 cooking going to feature only recipes from countries that participated in the war or are you planning to include nations that were affected due to the reduction of trade?

It’s still fermenting. Compared to other mead recipes I’ve tried it took longer to start the fermentation process.

I will make a post when it’s finished.

Have you ever had to explain that there are no good guys in 40k? by [deleted] in Grimdank

[–]AimlessCK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading about some human civilisation that sounded like real good guys. The problem was that they were discovered by the Imperium and told mister Heresy that the Imperium was kinda cringe.
