Slider night (Thursdays) and pizza night (Saturdays) were very popular, as were the major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving... the MSC didn't mess around. We had a full spread for those meals! As the oncoming watch after one of those meals, i was so stuffed with food as to be nearly useless...
I didn't mind the powdered eggs too much... it beat eating cereal with powdered milk!
One of the things that really brings me back is whenever I smell bread baking in an oven... I remember a lot of the smells from the boat... most of them ranging from unpleasant to horrendous... but the smell of rolls baking in the galley was something altogether different. It felt like home, and made us look forward to eating the rolls - if nothing else about the meal with which they were served :p I liked to smell the bacon being cooked for breakfast too.
