>>2267790As long as one follows the standard method, adding various non-perishable ingredients is the best way of "spicing up" (perhaps quite literally) your hard tack. Some are more successful than others- here are some notable versions I've tried.
Pizzatack
>oregano>tomato powderA good savoury hardtack that comes decently close to tasting like real food. I think the addition of garlic powder to the recipe could make this a real winner, sort of "italian style" hardtack, as it were.
Minttack
>dried mintTastes awful, I'd give it a 0/10. For anyone contemplating a similar concept, I thoroughly recommend avoiding this, it tasted like toothpaste and despair.
Honeytack
>honeyMore successful than the mint, the only "dessert" hardtack I've ever enjoyed having. Just be cautious of the texture.
???tack
>????Shared with me by a Ugandan gentleman who hiked alongside us for a few days. Despite not looking at all burned, it tasted very strongly of spicy ash. The secondary flavour was overpowering amounts of garlic. He told me it used traditional African flavours. I'm not the greatest expert in Ugandan cuisine but I wasn't sure about that one at all.
I'd be interested in trying a cheese based one, perhaps somewhat akin to a cheese savoury.
