Yesterday when i were reading the news, i read an article about young people and their food culture. That was bad news, really bad news. So i decided to make some biscuts for ya! 😉

Backstory:

The pirates could be on the sea for months, and they started to get tired of they salty fish. Then some clever pirate invented those biscuits, a hard version of crispbread.

Recpipe:

7 dl flour

3 dl lukewarm water

10 g yeast

some salt

Mix water and yeast in a bowl, add flour and salt, knead the dough to a smooth clump. Let the dough rise in one hour, play some Piratecraft meanwhile, form the dough on a baking sheet and cut it into small Biscuits that you you will be able to break off when done.

Put the dough in the oven, 175 degrees celcius in 1 hour! 🙂

Before you eat:

For a biscuit it’s almost impossible to rotten, but maggots and mites love them. Therefore did the pirates eat their biscuits in a dark room to advoid looking at what they really ate.

Serving:

Many pirates on the sea did suffer to scurvy (they didn’t eat enough vegetables and were in need of C vitamins, which caused “scurvy” an illness that makes your teeth rotten – eat your vegetabels!) This meant that it were almost impossible to eat the extremly hard and dry Biscuts, that problem made the clever pirates dip their biscuits in rum or saltwater.

Bon appetite! 🙂

Edit:

This is a great project to do with kids, if those are interested in pirates too! 🙂 (which kid aren’t?)

You can add oregano, salt and rosmarine on top of the biscuits to make them taste of something.
