Hoosh (occasionally spelt hooch[1]) is a thick
stew made from
pemmican (a mix of dried meat,
fat, and cereal)[2] or other meat, thickener such as ground
biscuits, and water.[3][4][5] It was the common food of early twentieth century
Antarctic expeditions, used, for example, by the expeditions of
Robert Falcon Scott (1910–1913) and
Ernest Shackleton (1914–1916).[6][7]
