Sledging rations usually consisted of 12 ounces of pemmican -- 50/50 mix of lard and ground meat, 16 ounces of biscuits, 3 ounces of sugar, 2 ounces of butter, 0.7 ounces of tea, and 0.5 ounces of cocoa per man, per day.
The most common meal they ate was called 'hoosh'. This could be made in several different ways, but the most common was to grind up pemmican and biscuits and cook it in hot water to make a thick, meaty stew.
Scott and his men also relied heavily on tea. Tea was scarce on sledging journeys. When rations were tightened, lunch often consisted of tea and a biscuit. Used tea leaves were also discovered to be useful for relieving the pain of snowblindness (when the light of the sun reflected off the snow causes temporary blindness, usually lasting for several days).
