The Weird History Of The Biscuit That Kept Sailors Alive | Building Ireland | Absolute History

This episode of Building Ireland explores the history and significance of Waterford, Ireland's oldest city which was once a thriving international trading center due to its strategic maritime location. Most of their trade came from feeding the sailors on the high seas the iconic ship's biscuit, which later developed into the cream cracker we all know and love. They also delve into different aspects of Waterford's history, from its Viking origins to its Georgian architectural legacy and shipbuilding achievements.

Very interesting. Love history and read about the biscuits but alas never looked into what they actually were.

"Taste the biscuit. Taste the goodness of the biscuit. Taste that honey sauce. Taste the goodness of the biscuit with that honey sauce. Don't get that honey sauce on me, I don't like the way it tastes with my chicken wings"
