Just flour and water, mixed and baked within a specified time period to
prevent accidental leavening from wild yeasts in the air. When you
taste it, you'll be underwhelmed. It tastes like a plain, dry cracker.
Those of us with fond childhood memories of it love the stuff. Those
without take a bite and shrug. It's not something that's so bad you'd
spit it out, but it is awfully plain, and it's dry enough that you want
a glass of something (wine, water) to wash it down.
