 aa> I am trying to make hard tack.

I must know why.  I am burning to know.

I'm not saying there isn't a good answer, and "just to do it" is perfectly 
valid, but you just don't run into many people in 2021 who are trying to level 
up their Hard Tack game.

I am so curious about the chain of events that led to you making -- hard tack.

And when you get your 'Tack on, will you be doing so with plain hard tack, or 
will you be getting crazy with the jam or something to tame all of that 
flouriness?

Perhaps this could be a competitor to Escape Rooms: Primitivist sea voyages: 
hard tack, rum, sodomy, and the lash.  Experience *REAL* scurvy, once the 
citrus goes off.  For the True Experience of the Age of Exploration.

I can see the reviews now: "5/5 stars!  I got malaria, and then scurvy, and 
only after day 73 did I truly understand what abject boredom was.  I have a new 
appreciation for my office job.  I practically *skip* to work now!"

I salute you for making hard tack but I must know why, sir.  I must know why.
