Compare and Contrast the following as rations eaten cold going to windward in rain

[Tidewaiter2]

...wind and cold with a salt spray soaked teaspoon
A Tin of...
The FULL MONTY

The ALL DAY BREAKFAST

BEANS & Sausages(cocktail/dobbin soss)

BEANS

FREY BENTOS PIE.. choice of flavour

State your reasons on one side of a postage stamp, covering texture, drooling potential , mal de mer inducing rating, taste and actual food potential need not be covered

Other contenders for sailing comfort scran should be certified free of actual food value.

Of Course, Motor boat entries are restricted solely to fois gras, and those cheeses, other pates, Eton Mess, etc which will not stain white slacks/shirts/skirts whilst entertaining on the fantail after arrival, and before popping into that loverly little bistro before all those 'ghastly wrraggies' turn up and drip sea water onto everyone

You can tell it's raining, can't you?

 

[Ex-SolentBoy]

I would rather stay hungry than eat ANY of that.

Blazing sunshine here.

The galley and eating area on a trawler are at the back end of the ship so all movement is exagerated,nothing compares with coming off wtach in the cold to find everything on the floor and any attemt at holding a plate in the same plane impossible,going to winard in some slummy superyacht.does not compare.

I bought a set of second hand oilies from one of the crew of Puma when the VOR finishd in Galway last summer and found the wrapper from a Nature Valley crunchy granola bar (maple syrup) flavour in the pocket. Excellent stuff - I intend keeping up the practice.!

One of my heroes, the late great Cmmdr Bill King decided to forego cooking on one of his round the world voyages - does away with so much "essentials" it might be worthy of consideration.

Gentlemen don't go to windward

 

[Searush]

Pork pies & mars bars are the staples on our boat, but nuts & raisons, ginger biscuits, strips of cheese, crisps & celery are all useful finger food. But the main staple on a rough passage is sausage sarnies & mugs of hot tea passed up to each crew member in turn until supplies run out or cook throws up.

Betcha scraping the contents of a precious Hotcan off the floorboards of a Wayfarer off Brown Ridge beats that for flavour-it's the extra salt and mud, sand that makes it really organic- Turkey curry as I recollect

 

[uxb]

A tin of cold Ambrosia Rice Pudding.......

 

[activesail]

A bad boy pot noodle is my favorite..(There are others) It's hot and the spice numbs your tongue so you can shovel anything else that comes to hand; in.

 

[interloper]

Chocolate chip cookies and beer.

 

[Poignard]

As Enoch Powell said: "Revenge is a dish best eaten cold"

 

[Colvic Watson]

Bacon sarnie and HP sauce.

Wet bread? Get a wheelhouse.

 

[Burnham Bob]

another vote for pot noodles....followed by Mars Bars.......seriously sensible of conditions are bad on a short voyage

 

[Lakesailor]

Oo sez i'm a Gent

I wasn't referring to you, but to us.

 

[nigelmercier]

Baked beans, cold, out of the tin with a spoon. Heaven.

 

[Lakesailor]

Vomit.

 

[onesea]

Not the fray bentos pie to hard to cook, pizza, or pizza bread pot noodle.

Can of Guinness or 4 seems appropriate to...

+1. Nutritious and classy too. No washing up (if you exclude the spoon, which can be licked clean and put in oilie pocket ready for the next meal).

If they'd invent a pot noodle with an edible package (like cornflake boxes) and ability to fluff up the contents with cold seawater rather than boiling fresh, we wouldn't even need to go below to boil the kettle.

But seriously, I use pre-made sandwiches or pasta and sauce if I have the foresight, or bananas and biscuits for a snack. And traditional pot noodles.
