some great ideas Rebecca. Thanks. I agree about those refrigerated plastic packs and those little pacs of mayo etc. Tonight I tried a new brand of Indian food and it was great. Jyoti ~ natural, no wheat or gluten. Some of them are dairy free too. Thanks and safe travels.

if you have ever made a passage offshore you will know that dried beans and other things requiring long cooking times are not practical in the least----the most practical things to keep are pre-prepared finger foods, pb and jelly....etc---try to make and eat foods requiring cooking while on a passage--even with an auto pilot, there is no way to leave helm and make a secure galley and make a 6 hour meal...lol......crackers and tinned meats and such are the best things --cheeses, anything…

good food on long travels away from shore has always been a challenge for me too, especially since I don't eat meat, eggs or dairy! (just a taste thing, not political) Those "tasty bite" brand ethnic food in non-refrigerated plastic packs are great, nicer than that awful can taste. Easier to store too. There's a number of different brands that package food in these plastic pouch things and they're not as bland as typical American food. MREs can also be ordered on the internet and make fast, hot…

There's a number of different brands that package food in these plastic pouch things and they're not as bland as typical American food. MREs can also be ordered on the internet and make fast, hot meals on those long trips. Sealed tofu, quick rice and dried fruit/vegetables are great too, but it's tricky to keep the dried stuff away from the tropical moisture where I cruise. Buddy boat, Defiant, likes to sail with packs of those non-refrigerated mayonaise, ketchup, jelly, ect. that you see in eateries.<br />

Canning book published in 1917 that is a hoot AND helpful. Some amazing illustrations and old photos.<br />
I'd love to have some pics of the girls and women canning on aboard ! You can read it on Google books, no charge.<br />

Hi Andrea,<br />
So good to hear from you. I didn't get any updates on your progress to Bermuda so I'm happy to hear from you !<br />
Progresso seems to be a good brand. Look around and see if you can find tomato vinegar where you are. Italian most likely and amazing !<br />
I'll try your recipe with canned tomatoes, maybe I'll try stewed tomatoes.

Hi Suky!<br />
<br />
Great Discussion. I only wish I had been more disciplined to start a weekly can night. I am struggling for the menu for our next leg of our trip that we need to stock food for at least a month. I will be reviewing all the comments here and in the group chefs at sea to get some more ideas...you can only eat pasta so many times! ;-)<br />
<br />

Lentil Salad: Cut fresh tomatoes (large), baby tomatoes, canned tuna and lentils (strained from the can) with some olive oil, salt and fresh pepper. Sometimes I will also cut up olives and sprinkle them in.<br />
<br />
I haven't tried this recipe with the canned tomatoes yet. If you do, let me know how it is!<br />

Suky,<br />
you can use the pressure cooker for canning.<br />
I used to can home made sausage in metal cans in a pressure cooker, but that was such a long time ago, I don't remember the details . All I remember is that for canning meats, a pressure cooker is recommended.
