So you’re a Union soldier and you’ve fried up all your meager portion of bacon or salt pork for breakfast, and you now have all that lovely hot pork fat. What to do? Make ‘skillygallee’!
Crumble enough dry hardtack (or softened in water at your discretion) into the pan, stirring until the fat is absorbed and the mixture is almost pastelike. Thoroughly cook until fried, then spoon into your half canteen or cup. Eat hearty, and hope that you don’t need dosing with a blue mass pill (blue chalk, mercury, licorice and other ingredients) from what the soldiers descriptively referred to as the “quickstep”.
