Hellfire Stew

[Maleclypse]

Summary

None

Purpose of change

Adds Hellfire stew and the recipe to make it. Hellfire Stew was made by soldiers during the Civil War. Also adjusts hardtack fun to the negative since hardtack really requires at minimum some kind of liquid to make it edible.

Describe the solution

Adds recipe for Hellfire Stew using an old civil war recipe. I made it autolearned because if you have hardtack you'll figure out things to do with it pretty quickly.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I know exactly who to blame for you suddenly knowing this recipe.

I know this may be out of scope, but https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A46037-2004Dec8.html also mentions a "pudding" utilizing hard tack, would that be reasonable to add, too?

Also I wonder if hard tack should give you the disgusting rations debuff, too.

I've moved this to draft to see about some of the options you suggest.

• An old recipe from the American Civil War. First you crush your hardtack into flour with whatever object you have at hand then combine it with the water and regular flour to make a dough. You're going to want to knead in the dried fruits. Boil up your dough into pbread pudding chunks. Finally you add the sweetener. Soldiers would call this a dessert.

Hmm I could probably make that as a transform since that's an overnight recipe?

how come the description for this is "here's how to cook it" while the description for everything else is "this is what it is"

I decided to try something different since these are essentially ad hoc recipes to make an unpalatable foodstuff, palatable. If you read the instructions they do in fact describe what it is, but I personally felt that saying "Hardtack made into a bread pudding", was incredibly short and gave you the reader no clue about what hardtack made into a bread pudding would be like.

I've decided not to try and make the transform items on this, but I think it would be neat if someone else did. I've basically expended all the mental energy I have on hardtack for the moment, lol.

Your json seems to be crashing the tests.

Yep, I was confused because I thought it was a copy-from test failure but I had no copy-from in this but then reread after your note and saw it was a default value issue. Fixed now.
