basically jerked meat that is placed on a flat rock or in a pestal with oats, berries/fruit pounded into the meat and redried. Great with vitamin c, packed full of calories.

Hmmmm, maybe add some garlic salt for flavor? Lemon Pepper? Something! Maybe that's why the pirates drank so much rum (and lost their teeth to the hardtack).
