What I found fascinating about a civil war soldier’s diet was the coffee they drank Charles Nott said “you probably wouldn’t recognize in New York. Boiled in an open kettle, and about the color of a brownstone front, it was nevertheless… the only warm thing we had.” This seems to me that the water and the kettle wasn’t clean and this was the only option these soldiers had in drinking something warm on a cold day.
A food that I can’t live without is lobster. I love lobster you can steam or grill lobster.
Seafood will always be a go to for a yummy dinner !
