What do we eat

sonicninja · 01-25-09, 12:20 PM

also there was always the opportunity to scoop up what had fallen off the back of a freighter after it had been blasted by the deck gun, i saw a documentary on the history channel where a uboat crew collected various crates of Gin, tinned ham and corned beef, not a bad catch in the middle of an atlantic winter, certainly make life a bit more bearable at 100 meters with the gramaphone on, a few Gins and a tonne of corned beef sarnies.....pure bliss i bet!

In "Iron Coffins" the author talks about furry rabbits (I think that is what he called them). They were loaves of bread with mould on the outside. They would do just what you wrote -- peel off the mould and eat the bread underneath.

Have to try some of this food stuff if I ever decide to do another 1TC
for realisim. Don't know about the fuzzy rabbit though.

Interesting thread.

My dad qual'd on the Angler back in the 60s and told me that you knew it was diesel boat coffee when it had a rainbow oil slick on the top. I suppose you could just add a splash of 3-in-1 oil to every cup with your cream and sugar. :rotfl:

Wow Platapus is still alive.

Welcome back, nice to see that you are around again.
We should celebrate that.
Jim will surely cook something for us.

If you lose any crewmen as a result of an air attack, don't bury them at sea....improvise.

The account I read referred to the moldy bread as "white rabbits". IIRC my source was Harald Busch.

Nah...It all tastes like diesel oil after a while anyways.

Yep. I read that whenever they sank a livestock carrier, they would "rescue" some of the smaller animals to butcher later.
