Recipes

Thanks to all who responded to my pleas for good simple boat recipes. I ended up going to our local large-scale food distributor and buying a couple big cans of cooked chicken and an even bigger can of stewed vegetables. Chicken & veggies & spices & bouillon & chow mein noodles = good hearty meal. But I had bought a second can of chicken, since I'd never seen how much was chicken and how much was fluid (almost all chicken, it turns out). The can said it feeds 23 (!!). The big pot of stew fed 9 hungry crew and enough was left over to augment the next day with condensed soups to make lunch. And since I had that second can of chicken, we turned it into white chili for another dinner meal for 9. Everybody agreed that those meals were good ones. For breakfast, on our day we punched holes in bread slices and fried an egg in the hole. My co-cook had made sausage, and then he spied those left over bread holes, and fried them up in the sausage grease. Offered as a "light sausage," they actually fooled a couple crew members. My canned goods came from Gordon Food Service. It's a great way to avoid refrigeration problems. Our schooner uses ice chests (coolers), and I sometimes get a bit nervous about food storage. Canned chicken doesn't create worries. Chris Campbell

I suppose one could refer to a construction worker who is fired for not climbing a 30 foot ladder on a windy day as a "canned chicken".
