But what were the cooking stoves like? Ad was the fire a danger on a wooden ship?…."

Makes me want to dig up the Aubrey/Maturin cookbook that was out a few years ago…Lobscouse and ?

That one was called "Lobscouse and Spotted Dog: Which It's a Gastronomic Companion to the Aubrey/Maturin Novels." I have it in my collection, and have wanted to try some of the recipes. I have to admit though, I'm not brave enough!

Thx Brian, only book haveI found with reference for boiled bird guano. I know what you mean. But the puddings are great…I found matzo meal or pounded pretzel made a good ship's biscuit alternative.

"Lobscouse and Spotted Dog: Which It's a Gastronomic Companion to the Aubrey/Maturin Novels." I have a copy and have cooked from it. The Spotted Dog is really good. Main problem is a lot of recipes call for offal that's a little harder to come by these days.
