Gavia - Thanks for posting your recipe. I'll have to give it a try!
ppine - Sorry I didn't get back until right now. The re-enacting I typically do is from the French side of things in the French & Indian War and a bit earlier in the last 2 decades of the 17th century. Typically we eat a lot of peas w/ ham, cheese and bread, washed down with an occasional cup of brandy (yum!). When out for multi-day trips in this pursuit we'll add jerky, dried sausages, apples, onions, dried cranberries w/ chocolate bits and some type of oatmeal. Add in some tea, or make sumac lemonade/tea when in season, and you've pretty much covered the bases. I have brought parched corn in the past but prefer to each the dried cranberries mixed w/ choc bits as my trail snack. Both were available so they're period correct foods for my neck of the woods.
That's all for now. Take care and until next time...Be well.
