Generations of hardy men ate hard tack simply because there was nothing else. On the SS Britain, they even served it to the second class passengers and also to the crew.
Open a can of peaches and put them in your canteen cup. Put your hardtack on top. Cover with the metal canteen cup cover. Place it near the coals of your dying fire before going to bed. Next morning, enjoy your peach cobbler for breakfast.

Offal is DELICIOUS! My favorite breakfast meat is Mexican chorizo. The first ingredients include beef lymph nodes and salivary glands. Apparently salivary glands are tasty with some eggs in a burrito with cheese and potatoes.
Flour, suet and water. What you are describing there my friend are dumplings, they are still very popular here in the UK, and are really nice. I normally make them with stew, you use twice as much flour as suet, and a small amount of water, just enough to make a dough, then roll them in to balls, and put them on top of the stew for the last 20-30 minutes, and cover the pan with a lid. The dumplings just cook from the steam off the stew. They are beautifully light and bready, if you do them right, really nice with stew, think of them like Americans would think of biscuits. Although you can just cook them in boiling water, or steam them over a bamboo steamer, and they are just as nice with jam, treacle or syrup. Edit, I paused the video to make this comment, so I hadn't got to the bit where you talk about doughballs, yup that's exactly what I am describing above, they call them, doughballs in Scotland and Dumplings in England.
My mother made chicken n' dumplings - my father ADORED this dish. As you say, a little flour, some grease and salt. The poorest household could afford the dumplings. The meat could be chicken, squirrel, rabbit or grouse. We grew up poor and scratched out a living on the land. We worked together as a family. Nowadays, people don't even understand what that means.
5:37 sweetmeats also included candied and dried fruits. They often packed them in barrels of sugar to prevent spoilage. This would make more sense as pudding generally includes fruit and nuts.
Interestingly the word biscuit comes from the Italian word biscotti mean twice baked. The use of the word plum in plum pudding meant fruit rather than plumbs specifically.
Could you do one on tobacco I always see pirates as depicted smoking I don’t know how common that was I know for a fact modern sailors are always smoking
Aye, I second this request. I would imagine they would come across“Hogsheads” of tobacco being exported from America. Specifically the Virginia area. 🏴☠️
hey i want to say that im really glad i found your channel recently. i always had a facination with pirates, and i would love to write a fantasy novel about pirates, or make a animated siries about pirates, once i have learned enough of blender. so im glad i finally found a channel that is dedicated to the history and life of a pirate, you are truly the shadiversity of pirates. do you also take suggestions for videos?
The life of a pirate calls to me. If I would have been born in this time I have no doubt I would have been on one of these ships. In this life I guess I’m more of a gypsy. Almost no possessions outside of survival gear, and live in a moveable Army tent. Almost all of my food is cooked over fire. Maybe I’ll bring back the pirate trend. I don’t have anything else to do this week😆

Sailors boiled duff. You make up a batch of bisquick, or make biscuit dough, add raisians and after a half hour of boiling, take the ball of dough out of the pot, and let it cool . this is duff.
I don’t have any evidence to back up the claim I’m about to make lol but I’m pretty sure they are human from time to time. If I only had access to shitty food like this and only hit land once or twice a year and eat normal food I would eat a human 🤷🏻♂️😂🤷🏻♂️
"Ooh, ha ha ha, mmm, splendid! Simply delicious. Ohm, ha ha ha ha!" - Someone after making hardtack and convincing everyone else it's good.
What about gambling does pirate like gamble because they play dice
Im sure Charles Swan would be able to do that successfully.

Disappointing that it wasn't all fried fish, french fries, hush puppies, malted vinegar, washed down with Pepsi over ice.
That actually sounds delicious. Now I'm thinking of long johns

It makes me wonder of how pirate will act in a seafood restaurant That’s pirate theme
pirates eating raw flour with water be like: Delicoius, finally some good fooking food.

You're pretty rough looking yourself😬
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You described my overnight warehouse coworkers perfectly! AND I suppose me too!
It's a common myth that pirates ate. They actually ran off of D cell batteries and hate.
"Argh, Cap'n Rabie. bang ye drum ta give me a quicka' boost! For me eye's; see's me a Spaniard 10 leagues from thee poop-deck!"
😂😂😂😂
that rhymed
With a pinch of greed and violence.

This channel gets no where near the amount of viewers as they diserve.
Appetite dies off when satisfied. I was a WW2 fanatic until people started talking about what Hitler ate for breakfast on Tuesday and lost interest.
That Nutella was a mental flashbang. Thank you
nootelaahhh
Talking about foods made me hungry now I wanna try cooking doughboys and grilling some breadfruit

pirates called them "Doughboys"
I don't think they are similar to American biscuits

Funny though, in Dutch we call maize maïs.
And we call wheat 'koren' which if you say it quickly sounds like 'corn.'
Sweetmeats is actually a typical catch all term for animal parts that aren't the regular "meat" parts. Like hearts, livers, kidneys etc.
it's also a type of horse, words can have multiple meanings especially throughout different time periods
@@GoldandGunpowder that's very true. Love the videos keep up the good work!
Crazy hardtack from Carribean
Interestingly the word biscuit comes from the Italian word biscotti mean twice baked. The use of the word plum in plum pudding meant fruit rather than plumbs specifically.
Another gem of a video. I love learning the real history of pirates. It also makes me not take anything especially food for granted.
one of the best channels on youtube imo
Another awesome vid! So glad I found you! Reminded me to check the expiration date on my “Covid baking flour collection” haha
you can always freeze it to destroy insect eggs and strain it through a sieve if there are hatched crawlies, then seal it in an airtight container
I look forward to your videos. Very entertaining and educational. Thanks for your work
Could you do one on tobacco I always see pirates as depicted smoking I don’t know how common that was I know for a fact modern sailors are always smoking
very common

are your fan a pirate
i have enough video material for the coming years so i never really take suggestions but you're free to post them for the algorithm
@@GoldandGunpowder year thanks you very much for that
Can your make video about sam bellamy of ned low
Make something similar to ONE PIECE but darker an crazier would be a hit
Looking forward to this!
@6:35 genuine nutella jump-scare wtf i was almost asleep lol
They had islands they cached bottles of fruit juice blends and lemon juice to cure scurvy immediately if it got bad, I remember reading that somewhere
Turtle with coconut rice. Yum !
Great video like always man!
Wow, I had Burgou this morning for breakfast. I make it often
Hey hey, it's our boy Townsends and Son. Love that channel, both yall are some good places to go for historical topics

Very interesting content again and very good use of sources to produce a coherent image of this topic. Much new info to me at least. 🏴☠
Ive come to the cursed realization that.... pirate taco night was entirely plausible...
8:35 Nom Nom Nom Om Nom
6:33 i was listening to just the audio, half asleep, and this sent me lmao
Nice to hear grits get a shout out. Cheesy grits and bacon is in a food group all of it's own.
Wait is that the joker burger guy
yea
@@GoldandGunpowder HORSE MEAT OIL FROM IRAQ
I love the thumbnail
What happened to that one pirate food video? I remember a general video with all the food types pirates ate. Or have I finally went senile?
Biscuit is French for twice cooked also
So did pirates ate burritos before burritos became a thing?
2:53 in italian biscotto, bis=twice cotto =cooked
That is also were biscuit comes from.
I've actually had rusks before. They're nice, but are dry. They go best with something like milk or coffee.
I thought that Asian pirates ran on AC unlike European pirates who ran on DC?
Im going to join the Discord and show you my tat. (I posted it under memes channel)
Great video too, always a joy to watch
Looks delicious
arrow root (and I assume cassava) can be stored wet, so probably a long time?
I never thought I would say this but....Thank god for McDonalds and Burger King.
Órale! Frijoles y Arroz!!
Y hasta tortillas! A huevo
Well at least, thank God for burgers, hot dogs, and fries.
Ahoy!!! Skervie Rats...
Sweetmeat is also what they call cat meat is certain places like Africa.
12:24 they pour their peas over their what?? o.O
Jk, awesome video!

What is that song at the end of the video?
captain dan yo ho
Townsends is a great RUclips channel
Have you ever stumbled across a recipe for rusk?
you can find it on google ezpz
How do you boil bread? Huh?
mateca is spanish for lard. lard is pig fat, you can't call chicken or cow fat, lard.
No mention of "Slumgullion".....probably spelled wrong..... some kind of turtle soup I think.
Prepare heart ache? You mean HARD TACK buddy.
Sharp
so.... people on the ships don't actually do fishing in times of hunger? sea of thieves lied to me.
COMMENTS FOR THE ALGORITHM BRUVA!
Hard tack
sweetmeats are pancreas, changes that recipe a bit 😁
im not sure if you're joking, but no, sweetmeats is a period term for candy
@@GoldandGunpowder ahh for hunters and butchers, it's always pancreas (sweetbreads) as they are sweet tasting :) Great vids btw
WE INDIAN EAT RUSK TOO
You WILL eat the bugs
Sweet meats are organs.
use google
Use books.
I use books, check the video description for my sources. Words can have multiple meanings. "Sweetmeat" is also a type of horse.
