[Sca-cooks] sailors food

[Stefan li Rous]

<<< There are several passages on  the food and the "provision" of the  
sailors.

What do we know about: "The food of 16th century sailors"?

Any suggestions?

This book was just mentioned on the Lochac list. I asked to see the  
review and maybe add it to the Florilegium, but I haven't heard back,  
yet.

A bit early, but I tend to study within the SCA time period. I've also  
heard of quite an amount of material from the Mary Rose.

There are bits and pieces in the Florilegium including some info in
