Both sides had terrible food service. Trains that brought the food were often delayed, so food would sometimes arrive rotten stale, or filled with bugs and maggots.
Both sides had hardtack, a cracker apparently so bad, soldiers renamed them: Worm Castles and Sheet Iron Crackers. Soldiers had to boil these crackers to soften them enough to eat. Both sides also had pork.
The Union, however, got nicer things because they had the industrial economy on their side. The soldiers sometimes received coffee and sugar. The Confederates, however, didn't get any of those things.
When the food was delayed or too covered in bugs, the soldier's stole from nearby gardens. When they couldn't do that, they ate squirrels.
