Pirate Grub!

[Privateer]

Everyone knows, the final, finishing ingredient to a good batch of grog is battery acid.

It's also great for burning through locks.

And mugs.

...

Nobody is gonna get this joke... *sigh*

Arr, I gets th' joke. Ye may feel validated now, swabbie.

And/or pepperoni

[Wycen]

And there's always...

CHICKEN ON A RAFT

Skipper's in the wardroom drinking gin, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
I don't mind knocking but I ain't going in, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
'Jimmy's' laughing like a drain, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Been looking at m' 'comic cuts' again. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

Chorus:
Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning, oh what a terrible sight to see,
'Dabtoes' for'd and the Dustmen aft, sitting there picking at a 'chicken on a raft'.
Hey -oh, chicken on a raft, Oy -oh, chicken on a raft.
Hey -oh, chicken on a raft, Oy -oh, chicken on a raft.

They gave me the Middle and the Forenoon too, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
And now I'm pulling in the whaler's crew, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Seagulls wheeling overhead, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
I ought to be 'flogging' in a feather bed. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

I had a little girl in 'Donny B', (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
And oh, she made a fool of me, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Her heart was like a Pusser's shower, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
From hot to cold in a quarter of an hour. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

An Amazon girl lives in Dumfries, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
She only has kids in twos and threes, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Her sister lives in Maryhill, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
She says she won't but I think she will. (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)

We kissed goodbye on the midnight bus, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
She didn't cry, she didn't fuss, (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Am I the man that she loves best? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft)
Or am I just a cuckoo in another man's nest? (Hey -oh, chicken on a raft!)

Wow, I remember this song...

'Dabtoes' for'd and the Dustmen aft, sitting there picking at a 'chicken on a raft'.

"Chicken on a raft" is egg and toast... Right?

Yep, just what you want to face the fourth day of a three day shore leave while the ship heaves beneath you. (And shortly before you heave over the leeward rail!)

Lobscouse and Spotted Dog

I've had lobscouse, or scouse as it is called nowdays, and slumgullion as well - though the cook insisted on calling it 'slumgullet'. Both are actually pretty tasty, and very filling. Some recipes may be found at: http://www.scouser.com/recipe/

and just because the name is embarrassing: http://www.compulink.co.uk/~ossystems/rfmbs/spotted_dick.html

The Auld Grump, who may just make some scouse tonight, given that his mouth is now watering...
