Hardtack is a hard unleavened flatbread. Thanks to its lack of leavening and any fats, it had the valuable quality of not spoiling for years. Sailors' shipboard fare was identical, except they called it 'ships' biscuit'. In both cases, maggots and rats would completely consume the 'bread' supply long before it grew impossible for suitably hungry humans to eat.
