    Dawg, that’s Snack Bread, Wheat.

    Second only to Vegetable Crackers, which pair nicely as a crumble with a vegetarian MRE.

    Great share as always, Pug!

      lmao, I have relatives who were in the military in the 90s and they swear to me that the crackers in the MREs back then tasted exactly like attic dust, and there’s no proof that they weren’t made of just that

            So nothing then? Just saying nothing instead of making up nonsense.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
