Wanna try some real pirate food? Make some hardtack!
Hardtack is a simple bread that could last long on voyages. When it gets hard, you soften it up by dipping it in seawater, soup, rum... whatever you have on-hand. In fact, cooks may have used seawater instead of regular water (though we wouldn't recommend this).
