For soldiers in all wars, mealtime is a focal point of the day.
Armies do indeed "march on their stomachs," as Napoleon said.
Soldiers of the Civil War armies, many away from home and mothers'
and wives' cooking for the first time, were thrown back on their
own resources both to prepare their own meals and often to stock
their larders. No one in America, North or South, was prepared for
the massive task of acquiring and distributing the uncountable tons
of foodstuffs necessary to keep almost three million men fed. And
yet food and mealtime were the dominant topics of interest and
conversation, and the fodder for a great deal of the war lore. "A
Taste for War" looks at what soldiers ate during the Civil War,
where they got it, how they prepared it, and what they thought of
it.
Leavened with first-person accounts of finding and preparing food,
"A Taste for War" includes more than two hundred recipes drawn from
soldiers' letters and diaries and from the few cookery guides
furnished them by their governments. The recipes are adapted with
instructions for modern preparation that allow readers to recreate
the distinctive flavors and aromas of the Civil War.
