Fried Bologna Sandwiches?

Fried Bologna Sandwiches? Does anyone know what we're going to get to eat? I probably need to stock my galley. Does anyone happen to have or know of what might have been on the weekly menu for a US boat on patrol?

3,428lbs. other vegetables
1,226lbs. bread dough
2,058lbs. preserved breads
463lbs. rice and noodles
595lbs. fresh eggs
917lbs. fresh lemons
2,365lbs. other fruits

I think the the pronoun "fresh" used in the menu was considered quite relative once the boat put to sea :hmm: .

It's the famous ice cream machine for me. Too bad we can't have an old-fashioned soda fountain onboard. :p

I think by German standards US boats were very well provisioned. Part of the crew included cooks who in routine situations would cook fresh meals - chicken, beef, etc. Coffee & sanwiches were available for those on watch duty.

The crew of the USS Rasher, out on patrol, spent a few hours on Christmas Day 1943 submerged as the CO decided that he wanted everyone to enjoy Christmas dinner in peace.

An upraded galley coffee pot for my boat, please. Going to need a lot of caffeine to help me stay awake on those long patrols stalking those Japanese fleet carriers.

Edit: Brilliant, somehow I managed to post this into the wrong thread. Guess some of that caffeine would come in handy right about now too.

Flintlock,

As a messcook on a fleet/diesel boat, I can assure you that there will be coffee, and I mean fresh coffee 24/7....

sunvalleyslim · 02-13-07, 01:45 AM

It was fresh for about two to three weeks, after that it was.....Whatever...

Excellent! Now all I need is to ensure I make it onto your boat then.

Caffeine is a beautiful thing.

I guess I'll have to alter my diet of braunsweiger sandwiches with a side of kippers and Becks next month for something more American.

O.....M......G........did this guy actually use the phrase "colored cook." I guess that means we're in for another round of good spirited lectures on political correctness. Damn!!...What can we do to make things rigth before the language nazis catch up to us.....oopps...Did I say nazi......Oh Sh*t I'm in for it now......

I hate it when that happens......Maybe there's still time to fix this......I know....I'll work my way back over to the Jap..ur I mean Japanese Thread and spread luv to everyone in the forum....yeah...thats it....and maybe some valentines for all the girls......Peace, Luv, Dove....I wuv you all.....

Steak, pork chops, roasts, cake, strawberries and peaches were big(frozen of canned I believe). Ice cream machines(if they could get their hands on one) and I think air conditioning were big pluses over U-boats.

I dont think they had to worry about moldy bread since they baked it as needed I think. But everything else was about the same.

But just like the U-boat crews, once they got back to base all they could think about was fresh leafy greens(salads) and bright fresh fruits...once again, I think strawberries was the favorite.
