The 5th man/deckhand is the cook and works the floater watch on our tugs. Makes lunch and supper. Waits until the last hour to get supper ready, with no meal prep beforehand, and makes a half ass rushed dinner.
>steamed veggies>complete mush when I put my fork into it>”did you steam these for 15 minutes?”>I steamed them for a few>”these shouldn’t be complete mush”When his cooking is so bad, the mate is prepping a desperate dinner for crew, since the cook made pork 3 days in a row. No seasoning. Dry ribs. Dry roasts.
Won’t take any advice to heart when his questions asked about how the food is, hurts his feelings.
One of the worst breakfasts I’ve had a deckhand makes was chopped up sausage links, and wet “hash browns” and cheese.
I never realized how important food is, until your fucking cooks can’t cook for shit, and don’t even put the effort in to learn.
Everyone else on the boat, mate, captain, and chiefs, can all cook, but not the guys who are paid to be the fucking cooks.
