Everyone has their own favourite meal on a boat, and everyone has a meal that brings back memories, good or bad. For example, I cannot drink tomato cup-a-soup or coffee whilst on a yacht delivery, but I can sink gallons of tea and mushroom cup-a-soup!

Yacht delivery crew tend to be a little less fussy on a boat especially if they haven’t had to do the cooking.

Most of the favourite dishes are one pot or one dish wonders – always the best as can be made in most weather conditions.

Here is a list of the top 10 voted meals:

1. Chilli con Carne – stand out favourite

    Spaghetti aglio olio or pasta carbonara. Anything pasta with cheese, onion, bacon, any meat, an egg mix. Second favourite for the night watches soup in cup. Any of those msg rich powdered soups. Lastly ramen the spicier the better.

    Here is a one pot wonder we borrowed from a Rick Stien programme. Spanish bean stew, soften onion & lardons, add sliced chorizo, tinned tomatoes, tinned baked beans, simmer until the red juices from the melting chorizo rise to the top. Serve with crusty bread & red wine.

    If I am doing an ocean crossing I like baking bread. nothing smells as good as baked bread when you’re thousands of miles from land.

    I can’t believe you never included either pork pies or the Tesco breakfast special sandwich! :-)

    You are making my mouth water thinking about the pasty and beans, we would add a beef stew and pasta with smoked ham and Alfredo sauce.

    Started running low on food between Canaries and Bermuda during Tall Ships 2000. Made ‘Toad in the hole’ using corned beef. Tasted amazing and still make it now.

    Any pasta. Agree with the nibbles too. I’d add dried fruit such as apricots.

    Fresh caught Ahi. Mahi is also good if the tuna aren’t biting. Last years delivery from Honolulu to LA we only kept fishing after the 5th Mahi was because we were looking for a Tuna.

    Pasties should not be eaten off a plate and definitely not with beans. They are the first lunch out on a voyage, an eaten from a paper bag. They are heavier at one end so that they fit in ones palm comfortablely.
