Far Cry From Hungry
Far Cry From Hungry Asked, "Do you make time to eat well?" I'll let you be the judge.
While at sea, and conditions are fair, food takes on extra meaning. It is an event, something we look forward to sharing, a form of artistic expression, and an avenue for engaging mind, senses, and body. Food also ties us to our heritage, reminding us of stories, memories, and time spent with special people. Food preparation provides a sense of accomplishment in being able to make use of provisions in new and unique ways. No waste, new flavors, textures, colors, and smells. Provisioning while cruising has been thoughally enjoyable: taking advantage of local markets, loading the galley with unique and native staples from each country, joining known practices with locally shared ones. So, do we eat well while passage-making? I'll let you be the judge.
