*crunch crunch crunch*

A lot of soldier's journals from WW1 talk practically incessantly about the food. It was a major, important thing to them and because of that I have a fairly detailed picture of what they ate. In the front lines, it was tinned beef mixed with hard tack and fried, or 'bully beef stew' - which was essentially tinned beef mixed with water and perhaps a cube of broth.

Well research is important! So today I am eating 'hard tack hash' and drinking coffee for dinner. It's not too bad, actually. For authenticity I should repeat it for three meals a day for a week, as in 'active service', but I'm not that hardcore.

Applicative research. SOMEWHAT AKIN TO ADMINISTRATIVE RESEARCH? the world may never know.

Megaflare, here I come!
