Reenacting Foods.

[DeoVindice61]

Share your picture or recipes of food during your reenacting period. It is kind of funny how tasteless food can be a awesome thing to eat at a reenactment. Best thing I ever had was homemade hardtack and cheese blocks. Those thing were given to me by a pard and still to this day, i'm craving for those.

I will share pictures of my homemade hardtack when i find them. Last time I made those was like in October.

Shoot a deer, cook it over the fire.

I got somthing:

Grab a knife.
Grab potatoes, carrots, and something meat-y.

Cook the potatoes and the carrots,
Bake the meat.

Cut everything in the smallest bits possible.
Add 20mL of water.

mux it up until it's like, poo.

Eat

enjoy.


(believe me, it actually tastes good.

Simple, kill a horse, cook it and eat it.

Or if your in Russia and can't cook it, eat it raw, you can't lose!

Cavalrymen prefer it if you only take meat of the already dead horses.

I'm a cavalryman, yes, but I know of plenty other cavalrymen with the same opinion

I bet, not many a cavalryman would say: "Yeah sure, plenty of meat on my horsy. Thankfully, I also have a sword, so it will be a quick death. Here, I will give you a hand."

[Duuring]

Cavalrymen in russia did cut slices of meat of their horses while those were still alive.

HARD TACK!

Original super authentic version:

Bents was an original supplier of hardtack to the Union Army!


Or you could make your own which is not that hard.


I usually make my own but my next few events are really close together so I bought some from Bent. I can post pictures of both types if you  guys want or even the recipe.

Dutch army used hardtacks. Well, their own version.

Food is something that's barely re-enacted here, which I find rather annoying. Breakfast is often historical enough with bread, meat, cheese and eggs (still not fully historical but whatever), dinner is pretty much anything they can think of. I even regularly see hamburgers and some sort of pasta. Other groups keep it more historical with soup or the like.

Everyone knows artillery horses are meatier.

All a dashing light cavalryman needs for breakfast anyway is a few bottles of porter, port, brandy, rum, looted wine or champagne, or any combination of those. If you can't ride after mixing your drinks; you're not a real hussar.

[Duuring]

Maybe for a French hussar, but Dutch hussars are less dandy and more soldier-y.
