haha - what was meant to be a joke has a serious side. In books I have read there were cases of U-Boats sending boarding parties unto local fisherman's boats at gunpoint. There was one case where one U-boat traded food with anothe U-Boat for 2 torpedoes to stay at sea. I am sure a few merchant ships had floating cargo that had foodstuffs ransacked. Not all boats operated close to a milch cow or a friendly port. Of course being German, they had plenty of cured meat and salt fish (ugh). But still, I am sure provisions could not have been plentiful on an extra long patrol that was not preplanned for. So what I am suggesting is for immersion sake we only eat one bag of potato chips while playing - no submarine sandwiches, no whole apple pies. Ration!
