(from Confederate Receipt Book. A Compilation of over One Hundred Receipts, Adapted to the Times, Richmond, 1863)
Ingredients:
bowl of crackers
tartaric acid
sweetener (sugar or other)
butter
nutmeg
Instructions:
To one small bowl of crackers, that have been soaked until no hard parts remain, add one teaspoonful of tartaric acid, sweeten to your taste, add some butter, and a very little nutmeg.
This recipe to me shows how clever people were in trying to replace ingredients they didn't have.
