Hard bread

We had this really good Ciabatta bread with the dinner today, slightly toasted on the outside with a crisp finish and airy and light on the inside perfect with a drop of olive oil. It was like pukka home made Italian Ciabatta so I asked the cook if it was home made, he gave me a sidelong scowl and barked “Like f.ck, you’d have to knock me over and put a jackboot against my windpipe before I’d think about it” and he stormed off for a cigarette. A simple “No Tim, it’s frozen bake off” would have done. Hard man the cook.

    Hi Tim,

    Just wanted to say hello. I came accross your blog on Friday and have really enjoyed reading your entries. Great job. All the cooks I sailed with were a bit cranky too. They all needed a bit of “handling”!

    Thanks for the comment Mark and welcome onboard! The last person you want to have a row with on the ship is the cook, I remember seeing a bosun get chased around the galley of the St.Killian 2 by a cook with a cleaver in his hand. I think the bosun made the mistake of complaining that the food was cold, he didn’t complain again.
