Food On A UK Submarine

A really great Daily Telegraph story about the HMS Tireless and its chef, Petty Officer Andy Bailey.

I'm embedding the video of the event, but please click over and read this fascinating article in full.




As a bonus, here is another Telegraph article about the Tireless, this time describing Royal Navy slang for the foodstuff that the sailors eat, among which are:

* Baby's head – steak and kidney pudding (the smooth pastry rises like a shiny baby's head)

* Black on black – chocolate pudding with chocolate sauce

* Action Man pillows – ravioli

* Teddybears' ears – Chinese prawn crackers

* Seggies – grapefruit segments

* Snorkers – sausages



Bon apetit!
