The fat from the pork will soak into either the crumbled hard tack or lentils, kept moist with a dash of water.
Lentils and the smoked cheese together would also be good, but lentils need quite a lot of water to soak/cook in. I wonder if they cooked their days' rations together then divided it up and carried it cooked?
Lentils and dill/cheverill/parsley is also tasty but not sure how filling it would be after a hard day's work/march. The pork an hard tack would certainl be filling.
Do you subscirbe to Pass the Garum blog? It may be worth while having a look at his site/contacting him to see what he can come up with. I'll do the same for a bit of fun (when I get some spare time).
