The Most Nautical Food...


In my opinion, "curry" has got to be "it".

Think about this for a minute.

The trade routes from Europe to Asia and China were forged because of the drive for spices, among those curry.

The British Empire was in place to ensure sea trade routes flowed unimpeded. And they ate curry.

In Japan outside of one of the museum ships at Yokosuka, I've seen stores that only sell bags of premade curry labelled as "The Sailor's Food".

Think about landlocked countries and what don't they have? Curry.

So by deduction curry is the most nautical food out there.

As a side note, fried chicken nuggets are one of the best two-legged foods out there, but it is made a thousand times better if you eat it on top of a bed of rice, blanketed in a warm bath of curry (with tons of onions).

I'm a marine mammal and I eat curry - that makes it the most nautical food out there.
