hoosh

1. (Antarctica, chiefly historical) A stew made from pemmican or other meat, thickened with biscuit.Examples: "Christmas Day was spent at this camp, and, as was the case with the other sledging expeditions that were out at the time, a special feast was provided. For breakfast they had hoosh, sardines in tomato sauce and raisins; for lunch Garibaldi biscuits and jelly; and for dinner potted boneless chicken and a small plum pudding."; "They are magnificent animals, averaging 80 lbs. in weight, with a wonderful capacity for endurance in intense cold on very little food. Four such dogs with three men have hauled a load of 1,380 lbs. over soft snow ay 10 miles a day for many weeks. Their staple food was 1½ lbs. of Spratt's cod liver oil biscuits per day; this ration, with a hot hoosh every three days, keeping them in splendid health."countablehistoricaluncountable
