After reading “Civil War Cooking: What the Union Soldiers Ate” by Tori Avery, I think the fascinating thing about the Civil War soldier’s diet is that they have to eat a little and save some of the food for other time. The shocking thing when I read the part where the soldier has no choice to eat the dish rag whenever they are low on food. These Civil War soldiers are trying to be smart and save some food until more supplies arrive. Lastly, the only hot drinks that they can have is the coffee and not even tea.
The food that I can’t live without is steaks.
