Marcus Mummius, unfortunately I buy the cheese apple-smoked...
Volker, I know it sounds nice - and it is! After a full day in the arena, its great to eat well and drink well. But during the day, just some dried or smoked foods to nibble. Its the same on our long marches (another Hadrians Wall march coming up soon) we eat basic rations on the march, but cook something nice, but authentic and filling in the evening.
I suppose I could really do the authentic rations for this walk, including hardtack, bacon/lard, smoked cheese. I took posca on one of the 12 mile marches.
