food you muppet !
answ2. Fresh food was obviously not on the menu, but the ships cook would bake bread regularly, and for meat, pickled meats were a regular feature. For some voyages, pigs or sheep would be carried on board and slaughtered as needed.
A couple of foods were notorious. Ship's biscuit often contained weevils.
Pickled beef preserved in barrels, and it was said that you could tell when the beef barrel was almost finished, for one would find the horseshoes.
Captain James Cook contributed greatly, for he carried pickled cabbage - "sauer kraut" - and this was effective in combating the otherwise inevitable vitamin C deficiency.
On one of his voyages, he only lost two men from a crew of eighty or so, on a voyage of three years. This would be considered very good, even today!
