Powder Monkeys were children whose main responsibility was to deliver powder to the gunners during battle. They were small and quick and usually HUNGRY.
Our cook perfected some recipes especially for the three boys serving on the Sea Serpent, like:
- Powder Monkey Sandwiches
- Hushmonkeys
- Fried Oat Cakes
- Deep Fried Plantains
The Strikers, those crew members whose knowledge of the Caribbean made them invaluable in the collection of foodstuffs from the land as well as the sea. We see how our cook learns how to make things like:
- Grilled Shrimp with Coconut Ginger Marinade
- Oyster Stew
- Spiny Lobster
- Crabmeat Bisque
- Baked Live Lobster
- Conch Fritters
Crew members hailed from across the globe and shared their recipes too.
- Johnnycakes
- Fruited Sole in Paper
- Herbed Chicken with Wine
- Bechamel Sauce
- Sausage and Cheese Casserole
- Kluski
- Colcannon
- Baked Custard
- Cornish Pastries
- Baked Dove
- Thick Ham Slices in Rum
- Scotch Eggs
These and many more recipes can be found in the first book, THE COOKBOOK AND GALLEY JOURNAL OF THE PRIVATEER SHIP SEA SERPENT.
