Today we are in the same mindset, for buying a loaf of bread ignores the efforts involved in tilling and fertilising a field as well as protecting it from pillaging soldiers. Not to mention the work your ancestors put in selecting, evolving and planting a suitable grain for your climate. Then there is harvesting, threshing, winnowing and storage. But the rewards were great &#8211; bread, scones, pancakes, then cakes, pies, donuts&#8230; the list of carb based tastiness never ends.That&#8217;s why we stopped being hunter gatherers and settled down in villages. &nbsp;Dreaming of donuts, we descended from the trees to the savannah grasses.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-155\" src=\"http:\/\/cindytomamichel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/donuts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"565\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cindytomamichel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/donuts.jpg 565w, https:\/\/cindytomamichel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/donuts-300x271.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Aside from stealing or buying bread, chewing on a crust as they gaze moodily off into the distance, your barbarian has a few choices. They can use sour dough, carrying the starter fermenting yeast with them. This is obviously more likely in the caravan or family travelling scenario, where the starter mixture is used to make the next batch rise due to natural yeast action.<\/p>\n<p>However, carrying flour is more likely, and here our hero could take some time to make soda bread if baking soda is available. With a few hot rocks, some unleavened dough could be cooked. If a cookpot is handy then our fantasy characters can get creative and make dumplings. Using flour, water, a bit of fat and salt, and some herbs plucked in passing, our worthy adventurers would sleep well on a full stomach of stew and dumplings. A porridge of grains is another standby, although whole grains would need soaking overnight, and a long boiling time, necessitating wood for a fire and time to cook it.<\/p>\n<p>One famous fantasy bread is lembas, the honey flavoured bread of Tolkien\u2019s elves. It travels wells, tastes like heaven, and will sustain you through Mordor. The other end of the spectrum is Terry Pratchett\u2019s dwarf bread, which has its own museum in Ankh Morpork. He describes it as something you always have with you, and no matter how hungry you are, the extremely inedible appearance will take away your appetite. Nanny Ogg makes a batch, with the main ingredient being the cat litter tray. It is also famous for being hard enough to use as a weapon, which makes it a handy thing to have in the warrior\u2019s sporran.<\/p>\n<p>In real life, hardtack or ships biscuit were used. Both of these are basically flour, salt and water, rolled and hard baked. These would keep for a long journey, although weevil infestation was common. CS Forester gives Hornblower the automatic habit of tapping the biscuit on the table to encourage the weevils to leave before eating. Otherwise it could be used as a soup thickener or porridge like gruel with some flavouring such as salt pork. The Australian standby of damper, which is flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and water was an another quick loaf to bake while the rest of the meal was cooking.<\/p>\n<p>For something of the history of hardtack: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hardtack\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hardtack<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or a recipe to get you through a zombie apocalypse:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.preparedsurvivalist.org\/how-to-make-hardtack\/\">Prepared Survivalist<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Enjoy this blog?
