From the earliest seafaring expeditions to the grand ocean liners of the 20th century, food has played a vital role in sustaining and shaping the lives of sailors and explorers.

In 'Shipboard Cuisine From Ancient To Modern Times: Food On The Go,' renowned culinary historian Dr. Sally Saltwater takes readers on an immersive journey through the culinary history of seafaring.

Ancient Mariners and Their Provisions

In ancient times, mariners embarked on long voyages with limited provisions. They relied heavily on dried meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as staples like bread and water.

Preservation techniques, such as salting, pickling, and smoking, were essential for ensuring the longevity of food supplies. Mariners also carried live animals, such as chickens and pigs, to provide fresh meat and eggs.

The Age of Exploration and Culinary Encounters

As European explorers ventured into uncharted waters during the Age of Exploration, they encountered a myriad of new foods and flavors.

From exotic fruits and spices in the East to unfamiliar meats and vegetables in the Americas, these encounters significantly influenced shipboard cuisine. Mariners began incorporating these new ingredients into their meals, adding variety and nutrition to their diets.

The Rise of Preserved Foods

The 19th century witnessed the rise of preserved foods, such as canned goods and pemmican. These innovations revolutionized shipboard cuisine, allowing sailors to store food for extended periods without spoilage.

Pemmican, a mixture of dried meat, fat, and berries, became a staple for Arctic explorers and whalers due to its high nutritional value and long shelf life.

Modern Seafaring and Culinary Delights

Today, modern seafaring offers a culinary experience unlike any other. Cruise ships and luxury liners boast state-of-the-art kitchens and dining rooms that cater to the discerning tastes of passengers.

From gourmet meals prepared by world-renowned chefs to themed dining experiences, modern shipboard cuisine reflects the global flavors and culinary trends.
