We eat preserved food everyday. Modern day conveniences offer canned goods, even deep freezers for meat and vegetables. What about 250 years ago. How did folks make it by in times of drought or through a harsh winter?

Modern delicatessen Gravlax can be translated to "buried salmon" or even "grave salmon" which refers to the medieval method of curing the raw fish by burying it in the sandy soil to ferment, often right on the beach in sand just above the high tide level.
It was ok to do it in cold climate but here in warm Australia fridge is the go.

Heavy vacuum simulates sand pressure the rest is just like in old hard days.

@1.00 about hard tack

So what did they eat? Bully beef (tinned corned beef), rice, jam, cocoa, tea, some bread and above all hard tack fed the Australian soldiers at Gallipoli. Hard tack, also known as "ANZAC Wafer", or "ANZAC Tile", has a very long shelf life, unlike bread. Hard tack or biscuits continued to be eaten during the Second World War. The original biscuits were made by Arnott's, and our recipe has been provided by Arnott's.
