Edo jidai Daimyô and many of their samurais didn't liked cooking and were used to have some priviledges. Modern Japanese too are kinda gullible, even more in fact, because even in Edo era, if you didn't worked, you couldn't eat.

But Sengoku jidai Daimyô and samurai were different. On the battlefields, there was little to no servant, only samurai and ashigaru (who could actually be low-ranked samurai). So a samurai had to know how to cook his rice and other things like that. Tea ceremony master, Furuta Oribe-no-kami Shigenari, drank a huge amount of tea in his kabuto, to inspire bravery to his fellow soldiers on the field of battle.

As stated by Ogami Itto and Yagyû Retsudô, that is also Bushidô. Date Masamune was one of the lat war time Daimyô, and he knew his job well.
