As a U.S. Army vet. I always appreciate how you tip that hat to all vets , and keep Old Glory flying above one of the iconic American Cowboy Items. Cowboys needed the Chuck Wagon and still do. The military has a version of it just gets pulled behind a truck . Your food just taste better I am sure
Mr. Rollins, I love your cooking. But what really impresses me, is your true appreciation of our veterans. I’m a 22 year retired Senior NCO who really appreciates your humble salute to the folks in uniform on everyone of your shows. You are a true gentleman sir and I thank you from my heart.
This is the cornbread my grandmother made that we grew up eating. When I made her recipe as an adult, I was told I must have been poor as a kid. We might have been, but we sure did eat good!
Betty Sue I still make corn bread atleadt once a week bc my husband and I love it.. Grew up eating it....now my daughter's make a good ole pan of it for their families esep when they make s pot of beans.... Just goes hand and hand.... Good ole pinto or white besns with a pan ( cast iorn of course but can bake it anything else to if no cast iron skillet) Good ole slice of onion and WE love chow chow in our beans....
@@YanksandBritsProductions Yes Sir!! I am from Tennessee... 30 mins from Nashville....out in the country... We love our pinto beans here no doubt!!! I've been fixen a pot of cranberry beans.... They're just like a pinto bean but cook quicker for some reason!! Boy oh boy they are some good eating! Cook just like a pintos!!! Hello from Tn !
@@CowboyKentRollins You sir make us ALL talk to each other too... I love that!! YOU make us ALL feel at 🏡 home HERE on your channel.... I Thank you for that!!
The thing about hardtack is they would bake it twice, sometimes three times, driving out every bit of moisture so that it would keep for months and years. Hardtack is actually pretty edible if you only bake it once. It's the thrice baked hardtack that will break the teeth of a rat.
During my time with 7th O.V.I. Co. K reenactors We soaked them in soup, water, beer, lemonade, any liquid that would've been period appropriate for the civil war era. If you make them thicker, and make them like Kent does with the olive oil they are chewy like tough pizza crust.
@@shadetreeforge A -pinch- of baking powder and a touch of some oil or lard with a some ground salt makes it really not bad, although the fat makes it spoil faster. Camping that week, no problem. Storing it in a box in the hold of a ship? Probably a bad idea.
When I was very young my grandma would make cornbread on the stove top. She would tell stories of her mom making it on top of a old wood stove. That was way before my time. It was tasty 😋
I had a class back in college where we had to cool old recipes and someone brought hard tack. It was about five times as dense and ten times harder than what you made, Kent. True molar breakers.
As usual great video. I like to ad a little sugar to my corn meal. Its great for breakfast. Hard tack will last far longer thogh. If you crush it up, its great for thickening soups. However, adding oil to the hard tack will cause it to go rancid.
Thank you for the support for us veterans.....I enjoy watching your channel, plan to keep on watching for as long as it is up here. thank you for sharing all that you do..
Congrats on your 700K + - moving up rapidly. I had no idea what hard tack is. Now I know. Love hot water cornbread. Thanks for all your shows & recipes.
I am really enjoying the addition of the historical bits. Thank you Ghost Riders for the collaboration! And of course thank you Rollins' for another fantastic recipe/video and congratulations on the 700k!!! 723k at this precise moment. Amazing!
i made hard tack in 3rd grade when I was learning about the Oregon Trail. as an adult I still make hard tack as a snack at work. Thanks Kent for bringing back some old memories.
My grandmother lived her whole life in a small town in southern Alabama. When I was a kid (late 60s), she used to make these. We'd have them with fried chicken and lima beans or black eyed peas. Years later I was able to make them from memory but never had a recipe. Hers were always from a coarse meal and usually white, maybe ground hominy. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
Omg cowboy Kent…… I’ve been looking for years to find someone who makes hot water cornbread the way my Sugamama taught me. Thanks my friend finally someone who can make hot water cb properly. No flour no baking powder nor eggs ever needed to make OG hot water cb! I’m so happy for your show.
Kent, I have never subscribed to any youtube channel before, but I've watched and followed you for several years. I want to personally thank you for keeping the Cowboy alive and well. I am a very strong Patriot and I appreciate your down-home love for this Country. If we lived closer to each other, I am sure we'd be best of friends. May the Dear Lord Bless you with every success you can handle. Love the recipes, The Old Marine.
As a veteran I love the fact that you honor our veterans in every video. I’m hooked to your channel now. I’ve always wanted to learn how to cook good ole country style meals and I’ve learned a lot from you. I love cooking on cast iron which I have a pretty good collection of but I just don’t know what to cook in them. You are changing that for me. Thank you Sir!
Hi Kent, I have been reenacting the American Civil War for about 25 years, I used to make small squares of hardtack to give folks who wanted to try it. Then I realized I was liable for any dental problems it may cause them...so I knocked it off! Arizona Tom
You sure brought a good memory back to my mind with this video. If you didn't say Christmas in your video the memory may have escaped me. One Christmas Eve my Mom took a copper bottomed skillet and rigged it above a lit candle, stirred up a cup of flour with water. She told us kids to watch it so it don't burn and when it's done we'd eat. She poured the flour/water mixture in a dry skillet. We watched it bake for quite awhile. She made due with what we had, kept us patient, yet quiet, waiting in anticipation for it to get done. Thank you.
Thirty years ago I made my own hardtack when I did CW reenactments. I would "try" to break the hardtack with my hands but would drop it and smash it with a rifle butt. I would pick up the pieces and eat one and give the rest to the children. The mothers were shocked.
You have really made our camping trips way better. I do all the cooking now over the fire. Used to have to drag the kids camping now they can't wait. Good food changes everything.
When I was in high school, I think the cafeteria staff would take hardtack, dye them with some brown food coloring and serve them as Salisbury steak. Good Video again Cowboy Kent & Shannon! I look forward to these videos every week almost as much as I look forward to payday. Thanks again! ~Ryan & Chx
I live about 35 miles from Gettysburg, PA where the huge battle of Civil War happened. Our town was burned down because we did not have 100.000 prs of shoes nor money for the South. My heart goes out to all the soldiers, North or South for marching with no shoes and only hardtack to eat. Thank you for helping me understand how they managed. Big cyber hugs for you and Shan and pups!!
@ WhiskersMc Tabby, lol, that was hilarious , & so was "what is a man's" comment, why use a hammer when you have hard tack, lol, you are gonna have a meal no matter what lol, courtesy of a 56 yr. old man in Kentucky., lol
watching Duke chewing the hard tack reminded me of a documentary about military rations, the expert stated that WW1 Tommies complaining about hard tack called them dog biscuits which was ironic because the tack was made at Spratts which was a dog biscuit manufacturer
Kent god placed you on this planet to remind people of love through your culinary skills and knowledge and a laugh. We love you and your family. Under our roof. Thank you and we thank god for you.
Hard Tack into soup or stew dumplings. Thanks Kent another one to try. That hot water cornbread looks a winner. Really great to see Santee again. Honest,sincere folk getting together. Whodathunkit?😀
So glad that those people figured out how to eat ,, makes me think we’ve got it so eazy now ,, thanks Cowboy and Mrs Shan as always another awesome video,, God Bless Mi Amigo
Hey, That was a fun twist on historical food. Y'all should do more of these, about the American settlers & Western pioneers. Since the Dutch Oven has been used since our great "America Place" was founded. Shoot, we still make a similar style "Corn fritter", here in Ga. But it goes by many names. Either way it is some good food!
My grandma born in 1918 made hot water cornbread for me often. Just cormeal and hot water. Put it in a smallish iron skillet on a fire stovetop with crisco. Once crispy on the edges with some doughy in the middle. Then lightly salt it. It was a great snack. She made a whole round one I think her skillet was an 8 inch. It was old and well used. I wish I had kept it. That beagle is eating too good for her health. I love her to pieces. Well I love both dogs. I love all dogs. Hugs to all of you. You're killing me with the peppers! Oweee my tummy says oh no you dont! Lol By the way, I subscribed last night when I saw potato bombs. My grandma also made plain potato cakes. About the size of the palm of your hand. Again in crisco. I am trying to avoid crisco for my heart health. I'm in my 50s. But all my oils do not hold a candle to good old crisco. Or bacon grease. I'm being good though!😁🤠
Watching Ken reminds me of my grandmother. She never measured anything but it was a pinch or a palm. Her food was always amazing though. Wish I could have gotten to know her more as I didn’t discover my love of cooking until I got older.
Lots of stores carry the NFLD made hard tack here in NS too... great for camping... ladle your soup, stew, beans or chili over the top good and filling!
The hard, round, unsalted crackers from the Mexican aisle in the grocery or at Walmart are dead ringers for hardtack. I lay them on my iron griddle and whop em with an iron skillet to bust them up to go in soup, stew or chili.
Watching Kent's videos makes every day so much better. And being a 21 year US Navy retiree, I am touched by your salute to our Armed Forces, past and present. Thank you, Cowboy Kent Rollins!
Had a professor in college who was a Lt. Colonel in Iraq, said one time they had some of this, or the modern army equal to it, and what they did was fry up some bacon then soak the bread in the bacon grease, delicious he called it and made in chewable.
When I was young, and now I'm quite an old Grandpa, my grandma from East Texas would make hot water cornbread and later my father made it for us. When I was a kid, we would slice the cooked hot water cornbread in half, then sprinkle (pour 😁) sugar in, close the "sandwich", and eat it. That was a real treat after lunch or dinner! Ahh Man does this video bring back some happy time memories. Thanks for your channel Kent, I get a lot of my recipes from your videos.
Sid Dean.....same here but I’m going with some of the greens like he was talking about, that I put up last winter. Enjoy your pinto beans, I’m sure I’ll be having in the near future as well.
Kent thanks for teaming up with Arizona Ghostriders. Since I heard of them from your channel I popped on over there and watched their videos and it's a great channel. Keep making those great videos!
Wind was coming out of the north I believe. I assume it’s later in the day since I can hear the crickets. The shadows are behind kent to the east. To the wind is coming from the north.
When I was in The army I was in the Infantry. If you ever get the chance to go to the Infantry museum at Ft. Benning they still have some civil war hardtack that still hasn’t rotted
that's hard to believe, I sure ain't trying it
and thank you for your service James
Did you know that soldiers called hardtack "Maggot Castles" or sometimes "Worm Castles".
AlextheHun24 Gaming I know it would get eat up by critters but this stuff was in a glass case to protect it from insects but other than that the placard said it was civil war hardtack. The old joke during the war was “I bit into something soft, people would say “was it a worm?” The punch line was “nope, a 10 penny nail.
John Anon I Tostitos agree on Kent’s recipe
I could grab a cold beer and a lawn chair and sit in the shade by his trailer and watch and listen to this man all day long.
As a U.S. Army vet. I always appreciate how you tip that hat to all vets , and keep Old Glory flying above one of the iconic American Cowboy Items. Cowboys needed the Chuck Wagon and still do. The military has a version of it just gets pulled behind a truck . Your food just taste better I am sure

It's supposed to be soaked in some kind of liquid before you eat it.
Some kind of liquid? Swish? Or whatever they called it haha 😂 I can’t imagine there are too many mysterious liquids out there haha
Consider using water to reconstitute the hard tack when it comes time to eat it.
Yep. I grew up soaking it in black coffee. Not the best though @@susanlbk
Mom always called that fried cornmeal mush! Many, many breakfasts were enjoyed with this cornmeal treat! I'm going to make it tomorrow morning!
Hope you enjoyed Roger and thanks for watching
I'd like to see Cowboy Kent Rollins and the Townsend's do a guest apparence episode with classic cowboy food 👌you guys are so knowledgeable
Ryan Nowack with chef walter staib too!
That would be a great collab. Both channels are amazing.
I wanna see this!
That would be a more epic crossover than Endgame.
I second the Townsend Rollins crossover
this man has the best moves ive seen in a while
Sebastian G cowboy kent is sweet. I have watched this channel for a long time
He's got the moves like -Jagger- hot jiggedy :D
My grandmother always served the hot water cornbread with turnip greens! Love it!!
Remember my great grandmother (lived in Wilson Oklahoma) making hot water corn bread enchiladas. Amazing!
Thank you for watching.
I went to a Civil War reenactment a while ago. There was cookies and hardtack for snacks. I was pretty much the only one eating hardtack. I love it.
I was surprised
I was in the revolutionary war..
Do you have steel teeth? Those are so hard, I have no idea how you eat 'em. ... Did they serve beer with it? :)

Imagine a Matzo the size and hardness of a bathroom tile.
Tried that once... turned out it was a bath room tile... it was pretty sweet though... lol

Love that cornbread, how about your take on pemmican. You two rock.
This brought back memories. Growing up in Fort Worth, we would have corn pone and collard greens. Inexpensive way to fill up five kids.
Comfort food at its best
When I was in high school, I think the cafeteria staff would take hardtack, dye them with some brown food coloring and serve them as Salisbury steak.

How to eat hardtack:
Step 1: Get a hammer.
Step 2: Use it to knock someone out who has edible food.
Step 3: Profit.
WhiskersMcTabby hard tacks are like Popeyes biscuits. You better have a drink or you’re not gonna have a good time
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Why use a hammer? You get a perfectly good hardtack already
@ WhiskersMc Tabby, lol, that was hilarious , & so was "what is a man's" comment, why use a hammer when you have hard tack, lol, you are gonna have a meal no matter what lol, courtesy of a 56 yr. old man in Kentucky., lol

@@matthewmorrison9932 i havent had powdered eggs in a long time, i used to add milk to mine and they came out pretty darn good
When I was young, and now I'm quite an old Grandpa, my grandma from East Texas would make hot water cornbread and later my father made it for us. When I was a kid, we would slice the cooked hot water cornbread in half, then sprinkle (pour 😁) sugar in, close the "sandwich", and eat it. That was a real treat after lunch or dinner! Ahh Man does this video bring back some happy time memories. Thanks for your channel Kent, I get a lot of my recipes from your videos.
Glad to be early! I stop everything for Cowboy Kent!!
appreciate it
Great idea for a portable meal Ken, and the interpretative dance was good too!
The wind is blowing from the south!
Yep

Mom taught me to make “ hot water cornbread” when I was 8 or 9 . After watching this I’ll have some tonight with pinto beans.
Sid Dean.....same here but I’m going with some of the greens like he was talking about, that I put up last winter. Enjoy your pinto beans, I’m sure I’ll be having in the near future as well.
Kent thanks for teaming up with Arizona Ghostriders. Since I heard of them from your channel I popped on over there and watched their videos and it's a great channel.
Keep making those great videos!
10:34 I think you spilled a little there Mr. Rollins haha, great video as always.
Thanks for another awesome video Kent and Shannon. Little bit of cooking with a little bit of history and a lot of fun.
Thanks for watching
Wind was coming out of the north I believe. I assume it’s later in the day since I can hear the crickets. The shadows are behind kent to the east. To the wind is coming from the north.
