Is your diet on board getting better?

Steak on the grill. It’s kinda hard to screw that up. With the cook we have now that’s debatable though.

Oh, no. Not Mexican haggis. I was working with a bunch of expat Brits. They smuggled the haggis on from the auld sod. . . . . Pretty bad when one has to smuggle something as nasty as haggis INTO Mexico. . . . .

Way back when I worked for Turecamo we had a Portuguese cook that made the most Delicious Bread Pudding. He knew how I enjoyed his pudding and would bring some over to the next boat that I worked on after I left his crew. I swear that man put 10 -15 pounds on me.

Perfectly broiled rock lobster tails & ribeyes. The lobster tails were just barely cooked & translucent if you know what I mean. That was many years ago.

I also had haggis at a Burns night long ago. It was the only way to get a shot of 100 yr old scotch. But one of the best onboard meals was lobster tails and shrimp with cheesecake for desert one day for Coast Guard inspection. Cook clipped coupons to get the coupons We aced the inspection.

Once had pork burritos, a long long time ago. Too long, now that i think about it…really gotta find that cook again.
