Re: Bay of Biscay
When it started Rock and Roll a bit, the cooks had a saying on the Castle boats, "Send it down David, send it down!" Who the heck "David" was I have no idea. We loved it when it rolled, just put roll bars on the stove and don't fill up with liquids to the tops of the pots and cook and chop half of the regular day's needs.
When I was second ass cook on the Roast station, I used to have to cook the eggs for both the tourist and first-class bloods. I would have given anything to have a blow crossing the equator, no fun frying hundreds of eggs for breakfasts first thing in the morning with temperatures in the hundred plus and, standing over an oil burning stove waiting for the bloody thing to backfire and throw soot all over the eggs and have to start again and rush to catch-up. Breakfast over and I would have to wring my cooks jacket out, now time for lunch.
Cheers, Rodney
