Russian expression

[Sarah Hurst]

Can anyone assist me with translating the following phrase, which describes
conditions at the front during WWII:

 

Доставляли это всё ночью, так что каша и в рот не лезла.

 

He's saying the food was delivered at night, so did the kasha not even make
it into the soldiers' mouths, and if not, what is he implying, perhaps it
was bad by the time they woke up, or does he mean they gulped the kasha down
quickly, or something else?
