Edible items served at the opening were researched and derived from recipes featured in A Taste for War. Items were served in cast iron skillets and vintage travel trunks including the Confederate Chicken Rice Soup; Hard Tack; Johnny Cakes and Corn Bread.....the presentation was a huge success...believe it or not; the hard tack was enjoyed by all.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
