eaten for breakfast”
- ... A typical breakfast
included one corncake, one large ironclad, and two plates of mush
(Meal sounds so starchy l ) What were ironclads 7 RL, Dubuque,
lowa
The " ironclad" man-of-war was introduced at about this time The term
was catchy and probably attached to many things we suggest crusty
biscuits, often baked for breakfast Yes, such meals were starchy and the
folks that ate 'em were starchy too
