Soldier’s Kulesh Recipe

|

The war, the front, I’m… cooking? The items seem to be difficult to match. Everyone has their own: one in the trench – breadcrumbs soaked in a stream, the other in the office – a delicacy specially brought from the capital by plane… When guns speak, the muses, apparently, must remain silent.

And today, when interest in the culinary side of our life has increased dramatically, there is almost no one to tell that a Russian soldier, like two hundred years ago, could cook porridge even with an axe, and his gastronomic savvy was matched by the ability to beat the enemy. This is one of the most widely used recipes during the war. Kulesh is a thick soup or not very thick, but very satisfying porridge.
