Civil War Food and Coffee

What I have found interesting after reading the article, “How Coffee Fueled The Civil War” by Jon Grinspan, is that the civil war soldiers drank coffee whenever they can and made their coffee everywhere and with everything. Such as water from puddles or water from their horses that would not drink. Also it was fascinating that the soldiers drank coffee before, during, and after the war. If I were to choose between coffee and food, I would pick food over coffee. Even though I like coffee, whatever food you eat would be able to give enough energy for the day, as for coffee it will give you a rush of energy and then your energy would start to decrease. A food that I cannot live without would be Korean Barbecue.
