Good evening everyone, I have just finished reading an article sent to me by the Boer War Museum on life in the POW camps. In one paragraph mention is made the bread ration was stopped and replaced with 'klinkers'. I have not heard this term used as a food item. Would anyone know what it is as they write that the 'klinkers' were so hard that even if soaked for half a day, still could not be eaten. In another section mention is made of how the prisoners made pancakes from potatoes. Never heard that before. How does one go about this process.
