Willing to bet that authentic rats were not included in the experiment.

"Even though no one is eating the food and drink stored aboard the Elissa, the team is organizing a fundraising event aboard the ship later this month to sample beer based on the historical recipe."

The goal of the exercise. Will they have period music as well?

Ever notice how many Chinese women (or women of Chinese extraction) are named “Grace”? This one is certainly attractive: https://nauticalarch.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Tsai_photo.jpg

Interesting read. Thanks

I'm re-reading Undaunted Courage now and am taken by how long some of their supplies lasted. Their salt pork and soup mix made it a long way.

"analyzing shipboard diets based on modern nutritional guidelines."

Probably not the best guideline for assessing a diet.
1. Eggs are bad for you. No, they are good. You are wrong, they are horrible.
2. Carbohydrates are bad for you. Wrong - they are good for you. You don't know what you are talking about - they destroy your health.
3. Fats are bad for you. Wrong - cavemen didn't eat grains, they ate lots of animal fat. The "paleo" diet is good for you.
4. Coffee is bad for you. No, it's good for you. You are stupid, it causes cancer. No, my study doesn't show that.

Of course shipboard food remained edible. Otherwise, trans-Atlantic ships would arrive full of sick or dead people. Plus what is edible to a hungry man at sea is very different than what is edible to a pampered picky American.

And I'm not sure she used the right recipes. Salt beef was so heavily salted it had to be soaked in fresh water to leach out enough salt to make it edible.
