War, front and... cooking? Items seemingly difficult to reconcile.

In other words, war is war, and lunch schedule. And today, when interest in the culinary side of our lives has increased dramatically, and almost no one to talk about the fact that Russian soldiers, as two hundred years ago, could even cook porridge from an ax, and his gastronomic ingenuity were matched only by the ability to beat the adversary.
