Researching food of the past sounded rather bland. Onion pie? Turtulong? Tripe?
But the ingredients for the Onion Pie didn't sound much different than ones used in an omelet—heavy on the cooked onions—and cooked in a pie crust.
Turtulong isn't far removed from a bagel.
Raspberry wine is mentioned in a 17th century cookbook.
In the early 1800's, the poet Keats spoke of his enjoyment of roast beef sandwiches.
Tripe can have a texture similar to boiled noodles, and is edible. Hardtack reminded me of a graham cracker so hard it couldn't be chewed, but had to dissolve.
It's all a matter of taste, and I've tasted hardtack. I wouldn't mind having it again, even though I've heard mice won't eat it.
