Recipe of the day

The book Confederates in the Attic discusses hard core Civil War re-enacters who really try to live (and eat) their ancestor's experience. So if you are a re-enacter, here is a review about a book describing Civil War cuisine, and it includes recipes.

There follow about 60 pages of period recipes, for everything from corn bread and turnip greens to skillygalalee (hardtack fried in pork fat) and rat (“cook as with squirrel and rabbit”) to cane seed coffee and various potables, including Jubal Early’s “stone wall”.
