The thing that I found most fascinating about a Civil War soldiers diet is the limited amount if food they had. The problems they had related to the limited amounts of food and the lack of nutrition for the soldiers. Union soldiers had to depend on food that has been almost always made to extend shelf life. The soldiers at the time had to depend on women to cook their food, so when the war started, it complicated some things. So many factors made food scarce during the Civil War.
The one food that I can not live without is a good classic cheeseburger. So simple, yet so delicious. A classic cheeseburger can make any day, a good day for me.
Funny enough, I just posted about my love for cheeseburgers, went to make my required comment and your post was the first I saw. 5 guys all day.
I love bacon but a bacon cheeseburger is just the perfect combination this looks so good.
