What did the Spanish sailors eat in the Spanish armada?
Sailors used to eat raw substances. E.g, stale bread, oranges and water. Sailors didn't eat any dairy because there weren't any refrigerators in those times so all dairy would go off. Sailors also used to eat biscuits and apples, but they had to be careful because sometimes maggots lived inside the biscuits and mainly the apples!
