You have been warned..

You think onion soup is bad? Once, on the Tusk, we were crossing the Gulf Stream west to east, heading for the Club Bermadoo (Bermuda.) The cooks must've had a mean streak. They cooked up a dinner of Sauerbraten. Let me tell you how THAT smelled! I didn't want to go below when my watch as lookout was over but had to anyway, my turn on the helm.
With the boat pitching and rolling and the smell of Sauerbraten killing the smell of the diesel, lets just say that the head was very busy. I even had to turn the helm over to someone else in con and run up the ladder. I just barely made it out the hatch and barfed on the boat. I remember the skipper coming up a bit later and asking who barfed on the boat and I had to admit it was I. He made me clean it up too.
A bit later, we dove and everyone was thankful, although there was quite a bit of left over Sauerbraten that night.
I think I barfed again after we spent some time at the Club Bermadoo. Can't quite remember. My shipmates told me I kept driving my motor scooter on the "wrong" side of the road. It's hard to remember to drive left when you've been at the Club Bermadoo.
I'll take onion soup over Submarine Sauerbraten any day!
