The Highlanders back in 1745-6 were eating dry oatmeal, with a bit of water or milk if they might have it. Tried it myself, not bad.

Worst I've read was about some Southern armies 1860s having to make due with nothing but corn. No thought to try that.

the guatemalans, who eat mostly corn, are an especially stumpy race of people

[INDENT][FONT="Georgia"]Rumford's Soup

1 part pearl barley
1 part dried (yellow) peas
4 parts potato
salt according to need
Old, sour beer
Slowly boil until thick. Eat with bread.
Rumford's soup is not noted as particularly tasty, but is palatable with long, slow cooking.

This sounds seriously unappetising - I'd rather have a Big Mac
