hardtack: better than ramen?

[u/footsieMcghee404]

I recently made a batch of hardtack (also called ship's biscuits) and immediately thought of how it could be used on trail. Hardtack was an unleavened bread used by sailors and soldiers due to its ability to be stored for long periods. How I would use it is to carry a bit of dry bouillon, and simmer the hardtack in the bouillon water until it's edible. This has some advantages over ramen: 1: it is usually whole grain. 2: it has no additives or preservatives. Has anyone brought hardtack camping before? How did you use it?
