Individually wrapped packages of instant noodles commonly referred to as ramen are popularly consumed worldwide. As a competing product individually wrapped slices of dry bread should be similarly packaged. Add less water to form an expansive spongy mass that can be sliced with a spoon, or add more
water until your bowl overflows and make a mess of the table.

See, it's for sale. These are quite tasty too. [DIYMatt, Oct 06 2012]

It could be made just as inexpensivley and would be a
western alternative, and perhaps more nutritious. |
|
| |
But mostly because I think sop is funny. It would be funny
to unwrap a slice of bread. |
|
| |
Well hardtack is WKTE and I think the reason that it isn't already packaged and sold like this is because nobody would buy it. |
|
| |
Or maybe it's because so many people would buy it there
wouldn't be enough for everybody. |
|
| |
Softack in a pack? Might go down well with denture wearers. |

If you're looking for such a product I can suggest lifeboat rations. They're kind of tasty and you can live off of them for a while. They aren't exactly bread though so I don't know how well mixing them with water would work. |

// nobody would buy it // |

Ah, but they do. Hardtack is still available in
various sizes of package and is a popular
emergency ration to carry in ground vehicles
and aircraft operating in remote areas. It has
the great advantage that in a sealed package
it will keep a long time without going off, and
even when it does go off, you can't tell
because it's still exactly the same as when it
was fresh. |

If this were presented well, it could be a winner. A light, spongy, quality white bloomer loaf slice, impregnated with brown sugar and milk powder, maybe a hint of cinnamon, then dehydrated and sealed in a package. Just add hot water and wait 30 seconds.. |

[8th] I've never heard of anyone carrying actual hardtack on their plane, but plenty of people carry the lifeboat rations I mentioned earlier. |

How strange. It's so versatile ... for soaking up AVGAS spills, packing loose items of equipment, or putting a shine on metal parts. |
|
| |
I had a hiking buddy who carried it everywhere--even when
he wasn't hiking. He used to share it with me on the trail if
I ran out of my own snacks. It's a bit like dwarf bread; one
look at it will keep you going all day. |
|
| |
That's how hard it is to find good sop. |

[normzone] can't find that Playboy cartoon. |
|
| |
[norm], I used to, enthusiastically and extensively, in my
youth. You'd be amazed how
difficult it is to find players when you live in the mountains
with no neighbors and have developed a strange aversion
to spending more than a few minutes in anybody else's
home. |
|
| |
Why not package a piece of hardtack together with a
standard ramen soup base? My cursory research
suggests that hardtack was often eaten after soaking
in liquid, either whole or crumbled. |

Neat idea you should post it. |
