The war here refers to the American Revolutionary War for independence from Britain. The Philadelphia Pepper Pot soup is a peppery thick soup made up of beef tripe, whatever vegetables are available, and of course, lots of peppercorns. During the war, in 1777, the winters were harsh, and the farmers refused to sell food to the Continental army, and instead sold it to the British. Christopher Ludwig was the baker general, which meant that his primary task was to bake bread for the troops. But in this scenario, with no grain to eat in sight and faced with the prospect of starvation, George Washington put Christopher Ludwig in charge of feeding his men. And Christopher Ludwig presented the Pepper Pot soup. Perfect for a cold winter day!
