Best Answer

Pirates ate what was given them and they liked it or they got tossed overboard. They mostly got cheap food that was easy to preserve on a long trip, like ham. Ya' got it now, swab?

hard tack, salt-raised bread and preserved meats such as ham could be stored for the long periods of time that pirates and other seamen were at sea.

What kind of ham do french eat for breakfast?

We don't have salty food for breakfast in France. (no cheese, ham, eggs or bacon), our breakfast is very fast and nothing sophisticated or cooked, some people don't eat, just drink. We dont eat too much for breakfast (our main meal is lunch). We may drink: chocolate, milk, tea, coffee or fruit juice, and we can eat: croissants et viennoiseries, bread and jam, nutella or cereals (kids), biscuits, fruits, cream cheese or yogurt. We eat ham (jambon) for lunch or dinner. The most common is the " Jambon de Paris", you can have it cooked, braised, dryed, smocked ham and there are a lot of regions where they make different, delicious and reputed kind of ham, they can be very expensive too.
