Typical daily rations, with a treat of peas, or a cup of vinegar once a wk.
Ration per day...if they were lucky.
1 lb meat
1 cup flour/corn meal
1qt beer
1 cup milk
This was cooked in a small pot or in the open fire pit. These rations originated in Europe became the staples of the frontier and grandma''s pantry during the Great depression and the basis of our staples today.
The solders were very creative with these basics. Some good ideas when storing for today, especially with out refrigeration. Fun tid-bits.
