Pilot Bread

Yesterday I went to the AC and bought pilot bread.  I had heard people talking about it and how you can eat anything on pilot bread, it was like a big cracker, etc.  It  is also cheaper than bread (you don't even want to know what that costs).

My first shock was that pilot bread was round and tastes nothing like a cracker.  It is made to last a long time, and is also called "hard tack".  Someone told me that "supposedly pilot bread tastes like a saltine when it goes stale, but I've never seen pilot bread go stale".
