Sadly even this test isn't accurate enough. Rations were often dirty, stale, or spoilt. Any water drank was rain water, or the usual bottle of liquor. People eating this would have been joyful to even taste such a thing after seeing too much of human cruelty. Those are things you can never simulate.
I see this video as quite a refreshing change to your channel. Its not all about talking about Battlefield 1 gameplay and new features. My subscription box was jam-packed with that stuff. As i said, its really refreshing and a change from what most Battlefield gaming TH-camrs have put up.
Was not what I was expecting, was so much better. Really hit the nail on the head between entertainment and interesting content. Definitely some more please in the future!!!
Up to mighty London Came an Irishman one day. As the streets are paved with gold Sure, everyone was gay, Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square, Till Paddy got excited, Then he shouted to them there: It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye, Piccadilly, Farewell, Leicester Square! It's a long long way to Tipperary, But my heart's right there.
For those curious about the music, the first song is It's a long long way to Tipperary sung by Billy Murray while the second song is Send me away with a smile sung by John McCormack. I think the first song is also played twice.
Awesome video Flak, with Battlefield 1 just around the corner I'd like to thank you for all the amazing content you've put out in the run up to the game. I will definitely continue to follow the channel and can't wait to see what content you've got planned now the game is out. Also... you look great
Its a long way to Tipperary, Its a long way to Tipperary to the sweetest girl I know. Awesome to hear this song in the background. My Tipperary flag is 3 feet from me right now :D
Flakfire I guess it depends on; the BMI of the individual doing the butt loading, the size of the object being butt loaded and how familiar said named individual is with butt loading. That being said, I'm not comfortable publicly admitting how many of your videos I butt loaded.
Omg the Vid of the guy with the makeshift guitar, and the Germans watching the Kitten and Puppy play-as well as them try to put a mini helmet on the cute little things- really made my day in a way.
Very cool video. I love how you mix the history with the game. I appreciate they did such a good job overall making it feel authentic. Something I was surprised you didn't touch on was the importance of packaging. Hardback traditionally had been packed in wooden boxes and cardboard. Due to gas warfare food had to be packaged to keep from being contaminated by gas. I am surprised about the music issue. I was under the impression these recordings were under the public domain due to age.
+Champlain Valley Rail Snapshots regarding the music, as was I. I did mention the gas issue in one of the graphics, but I could have definitely done more with it.
Flakfire I have been watching your Battlefield 1 coverage religiously. I am a huge history and living history reenactor. I have always been fascinated with the Great War and its place in history. In fact I pre-ordered my Xbox and Battlefield 1 largely because of your coverage. The last system I played was a PS2 over a decade ago!
Maybe it's because I'm prior military and I've been cooking privately 18 years, but it's funny that they're sitting their sniffing at it. Food is fuel in war, it's not meant to be savored like a family meal. It's nice that the militaries of the time tried to accommodate but after a battle or work, no one would really care- chow is chow.
fun fact, flak, most of that food is considered a delicacy in Great Britain, I do enjoy pilot bread, corned beef, dried beef, tinned salmon, the zumer.. zumb... the white mould looking wafer bread thing which we call "rivita" sometimes putting them together. as a sort of tea time savoury snack. hell I have most of it in my cupboard, except hard tack, never heard of that, il have to see if i can find some
I love rations! They're delicious and packed with nutrients. You either love them or you hate them. The way I see it, they're basically lunchables for adults.
I have corned beef every week and love sardines plus beef and gravy normally eaten hot . The hard tack put it into the pot with anything else your cooking was normal. The rest of the food you can buy in most food shops.
You're not supposed to eat it dry. You make it soggy with water.
YOLO
Vanilla WoW u just leave them out in the mud so they get wet and then they taste perfect
Does it really matter how you eat hardtack
Daniel Conti XD ebin
Qwark007 I understand your grief.
Does this test include gas?
Tastes like mustard and burning.
Clorox Bleach why are you like in every comment section of videos I watch on TH-cam

Soo deep
Daniel Conti+ no shit Sherlock of course we can't simulate what happened for real but still it's just for for fun so calm down
Well I mean add dirt into the mix let's see what happens :P. A lot of them were complaining about the regular thing let's see a dirty one.
Daniel Conti+ I see what you mean sorry
I AM CARB seriously dude nerd its called being well educated something you obviously arn't.
It looks better than my school food 🥘
Wyatt Kalinowski mine is pretty good

9:07 that‘s gotta be the most heartwarming video of world war 1 I‘ve ever seen

I'm celebrating BF1's release with ANZAC biscuits!
You should try them, they're easy to make and taste amazing.
Stu Saville Just For Bf1.I Eat Them Whenever I Want.
I find it hard to believe this was real, nothing should taste good while in the trenches and these biscuits taste too good for that...
Yeah I did The Anzac "Tiles" good taste . And If you find it . Give it a try to the Turkish Rusk .
Cya
Stu Saville love em biscuits
Stu Saville Jeez,ANZAC biscuits taste Great
Song: It's a long way to Tipperary
Flack seems like the type of dude who gets along with anyone. Even now after watching, I wanna buy him a beer haha
Normally I do. The only people I don't really get along with are loud ones.
Flakfire Loud people kinda like TH-cam commenters? ahah
Flakfire AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Like that?)
BREIFCASE

I actually used this recipe for a school project on WWI, it was a major success.
Food is for weaklings
@@soupperson280 Still alive?
Hey buddy, still alive?
@@soupperson280 u alive still
I am become food
Awww I love that bit where the two soldiers were making a puppy and a kitten fight. So cute
Paladin Colt I'm pretty sure they were just playing with each other rather than fighting.
no, all out war means *ALL OUT WAR*
Paladin Colt and then one placed a Pickelhaube on it's head
Flakfire's making videos for buzzfeed now? :P
But flak is actually entertaining. Unlike buzzfeed
Minus the political agenda and clickbait.
+Sand Skiff2 eh!? but I like Buzz feed. 😓
Plus its a special, so having these type of vids once in a while is a nice to have, and who would complain about having real Flakfire once in a while?
***** why?
sardines are great camping food, warmed up over a fire in the olive oil, yum!
syaondri sardines are the best thing that happened to humanity, good resource of omega3
syaondri i love them anyway
Agent Bill Wilson Oh fuck no.
I often find tape worms in canned sardines. I wouldn't recommend it as a first choice of protein on the trail.
Then Canned tuna is better
Germans with Chocolate wafers: Exist
Me with an entrenching tool: I’m about to end this whole man’s career
Seem's like they enjoyed the German rations more lmao
It's true, they were better. :)
Flakfire not in the end of the war
Jack Mehoff Except for the actual war.
FACE REVEAL
Shane Bryant it's not really a face reveal because he showed his face in another video
@@straff8219 Well he did reveal his face in this video. Didn't he?
@@Nugcon podcast youtubers are face reveal machines
Was not what I was expecting, was so much better. Really hit the nail on the head between entertainment and interesting content. Definitely some more please in the future!!!
"I'd kill a man for these" if I hadn't already liked the video that would've made me :) good stuff
+dante lacaze watch till the end. ;)
+Flakfire please say that or some variation each video :)
6:34 *sniff sniff* "I SMELL HOT SOUP! SECTOR 17-B, OPEN FIRE!"
Flak went gaming channel to cooking channel as fast a my dad left home when i was 2
I'm sorry for your loss. Here, chew on this hardtack.
I am normal
Sorry for that man.
+I am normal You don't seem to have had a normal life, Hardtack?
I am normal
Yeah my dad is on missing posters...
Tadeusz B Hardtack? Why won't anyone take my Hardtack!?
You really are the best BF1 youtuber. Thanks for the awesome history lessons and fun modern context!
Well this was an interesting change from your regular videos, but I liked it.
Fantastic video, FlakFire! I love how you are making videos covering the history behind Battlefield 1. Keep up the great work!
Great video Flak, as always.
Looking back at all your Battlefield 1 videos and seeing just how much thought and care you put into them. You deserve way more subscribers!
It feels like I'm eating a creature from dr Seuss. Thanks dude
Stay consistent & keep on uploading unique content & you'll grow quick on TH-cam! i believe in you fam
Up to mighty London
Came an Irishman one day.
As the streets are paved with gold
Sure, everyone was gay,
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
Strand and Leicester Square,
Till Paddy got excited,
Then he shouted to them there:
It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye, Piccadilly,
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.
its a good song.
Is this Das Boot ?
For those curious about the music, the first song is It's a long long way to Tipperary sung by Billy Murray while the second song is Send me away with a smile sung by John McCormack. I think the first song is also played twice.
Im from Germany and i feel like my grandparents diet consists to 99% of Knäckebrot xD
Accurate.
Man look at those moments in those flashback videos. Almost transports you to that moment
Flakfire only has 55k subs? Your content deserves way more dude :)
Trying!
One of the most creative and enjoyable you tubers out there. You put others to shame flakfire.
your commentator voice is much different from your normal voice
Awesome video Flak, with Battlefield 1 just around the corner I'd like to thank you for all the amazing content you've put out in the run up to the game.

The musics in this videos come from the Game Verdun 14-18 right !?
Fantastic content. I just binge watched a butt load of your videos and was extremely entertained. You've got yourself a subscriber
How many videos can one fit into a butt? I have always wondered. :P Glad you enjoyed them!
+Flakfire I'm not sure, I've only ever managed to fit 5. What about you?
Flakfire I guess it depends on; the BMI of the individual doing the butt loading, the size of the object being butt loaded and how familiar said named individual is with butt loading. That being said, I'm not comfortable publicly admitting how many of your videos I butt loaded.
I love sardines and I love corned beef and crackers looks yummy to me lol
Also corned beef is expensive haha
Man, you really came into your own with this one dude! Simply the best out there.
trench biscuits ; ( they ain't very tasty
hey look who i found lurking the comments! hey dude!
Your_main _man_matt Hi.
ha ha hi buddy
also civil war biscuits
This was great! It's fun, but it's also informative. Would love to see more like it!
Wow, water and flour, is that actually it
pinch of salt and that's it.
Flakfire bruh
bruuuuh
Flakfire lol
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I win.
I can legitimately imagine a British officer telling his soldiers "let's go men!!! They have chocolate wafers!!!"
You seem like a genuinely nice guy Flak :)
SNOWFLAKE SPOTTED
Great to see a fresh tipe of video. Love your content! Keep it up!
Glad I stayed till the end
+Guilherme Branco hahaha
+Flakfire "like my video bitches!"
I'm not even 100% interested in Battlefield 1, I just like watching Flakfire's videos.
This is different and really high quality. I liked this.
you're not as what I suspected you would look like I expected to see a 50 year old man or 60 year old man
me too lol. at least late 40's
Bigboy Juan he's got an old soul.
haha yeah me too
Bigboy Juan Why lol, 60 year old playing BF1?
He sounds like he's in his late 20's
Good quality content. Big ups and hope you do more real life videos as well as your awesome breakdowns and other videos.
dude if you worked out you would look badass
Brrruh, working on it.
No Name you serious? the guy with the glasses and grey shirt that sounds just like flakfire..
Anyone does
I am always surprised by the production quality of your videos. They really are top notch.
Loved the video, I would love to see some more videos like this :D
Omg the Vid of the guy with the makeshift guitar, and the Germans watching the Kitten and Puppy play-as well as them try to put a mini helmet on the cute little things- really made my day in a way.
+CommanderSh!mi X right? I knew I had to use them!
"like my video bitchess !!!!" BEST LINE EVER :D

Dude I thought flakfire was like a lot older than he looked
I always like clicking on a notifications and hearing "hey everyone it's flakfire" it feels so nice

Food is fuel in war, it's not meant to be savored like a family meal. It's nice that the militaries of the time tried to accommodate but after a battle or work, no one would really care- chow is chow.
+Jakob Roynon-Fisher I totally agree, we're hamming it up a little bit. Were I in your position, I wouldn't complain about the food at all. :)
I can see that
So professional so good! Hilarious! Great video FlakFire!
Wow...you just stepped up ur youtube game ;)!
Private: what we having today serge?
Serge: just some knaeckebrot
Private: gags* mmm... sounds great
Children in Africa during WW1,WW2
Could have eaten that
Janet Saldana ...
If you wanted them to get food poisoning, then sure. Most food was stale and dirty
Darrick King Better than starving or eating tree bark
Janet Saldana just fuck u
Darrick King you can eat stale food all you want you won't get sick
I could imagine a German solider yelling from his trench across no mans land "hey, I'll trade you my beer for your chocolate wafers!"
I wasn't gonna leave a like...but Flak yelled at me and called me a bitch. So I'm gonna do as I'm told...
I also said I was dead inside ;)
He's a great motivator, isn't he?

American Soldier: **proceeds to come over to their trench with a shovel**

and of course, the Germans win the baking contest.
killerxd2003 J Erm, what? I never actually realised, but really, HAVE YOU EVER TASTED GERMAN BREAD?
you make some great content for how small a channel you have hope you grow bigger
Thanks Dominique. This was a fun video to make! :D
"Sorry,im not gonna eat a 100 yo hardtack"
Yeah,if you find any of these give it to Steve1989. Like,for real...
This was awesome! I really enjoyed this. Time to make some hardtack!
Flakfire yup you definately sound and look like a history teacher lol.
great creativity bro!!!! you just rekt all bf1 youtubers with their "boring" gameplay videos!
I hear over there music.
the way he was waving that shovel had me in tears lol.
Flakfire face reveal....
Youre doing great with youtube flakfire, keep up the good work
In the recipe part, you should have speeded up the footage in 1.5 times and then rendered at 24fps to match the footage from that time
+Mister I thought about it..
Love the ending! Lmao, never heard you swear.
i am curious what did the ottomans eat
lazysponge those who opposed them, figuratively
sand
rascisim on 3 answers nice
Robs ofc fuck your nazi self pls really hard
Hardtack pita bread.
this is a great video flak!
I love sardines.
No joke
I mean, if that's your thing..
Seek help
fun fact, flak, most of that food is considered a delicacy in Great Britain, I do enjoy pilot bread, corned beef, dried beef, tinned salmon, the zumer.. zumb... the white mould looking wafer bread thing which we call "rivita" sometimes putting them together. as a sort of tea time savoury snack. hell I have most of it in my cupboard, except hard tack, never heard of that, il have to see if i can find some
Pilot bread is really good.
Corned beef is like, the best type of canned food tbh. Fry that shit up with some onions and potatoes and you got yourself a nice hearty meal.
Ikr especially the ones from the Philippines
True. And sometimes we mix it up with scrambled eggs
great vid man, something different and i like it
flak you look amazing xD
I loled at the soldiers putting the helmet on the dog
Did you really need to include "Battlefield 1" in the title?
I did it just prior to the release of the game, and it was my impetus for doing it, so I did.
Very nice production Flak. U really need to get bigger, a lot of people are missing out
So you're doing another video in 2 months once you all contract trench diseases from the food right?
I am tempted to do liquors.
Flakfire Yes.
As a man that has tried both hardtac and modern MREs, we've come a long way. A loooooong way.
Deez biscuits heeeeeaaaahh!
miniventure bob Dis pilot bread heeeaaaah!
I love rations! They're delicious and packed with nutrients. You either love them or you hate them. The way I see it, they're basically lunchables for adults.
Wow 375 for 30 minutes. Then another 30?! Wow no wonder it was so hard
Want all that moisture out.
I have corned beef every week and love sardines plus beef and gravy normally eaten hot . The hard tack put it into the pot with anything else your cooking was normal. The rest of the food you can buy in most food shops.
