Gee, Sheldon, do you ever get tired of being wrong? No canned food on a
Navy ship?

Look at section #23:

"The fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs, and milk usually don't last for more
than a few weeks, but the creative cooks on submarines work wonders with
canned and frozen foods to supplement the meals they create"

Imagine that... canned food on a submarine.

Gee, another swing and a miss. You don't have to ask for a galley
tour.... most ships have at least one every sailing. Since you are a
landlubber, watch the following and learn something:

In addition, there are cooking demonstrations, vegetable and ice carving
demonstrations and even napkin folding demonstrations.

So you have never been on a cruise ship, you don't know anyone who has
been on a galley tour on a cruise ship, yet you KNOW what kind of steaks
they cook and serve there.

Who said the steaks both came from the same "hunk"?

Well gee, Sheldon... your memory must be defective. I posted a picture
of some steaks I grilled once and you even complimented me on them. Run
along and do a Google search and see if you can't remind yourself what
you said.
