What Did Pirates Eat And Drink
A pirate’s life was difficult when it came to food as they went to sea for a long time. Dried food, such as beans, pulses and sea biscuits were the main diet on long voyages along with salted meat and pickled vegetables and fruit. Because the availability of fruit and vegetables lasted such a short amount of time, pirates would often suffer from malnutrition caused by lack of vitamin C. Rum, however, was the drink most associated with pirates. For drinking, seamen chose beer or ale rather than water. Cows were kept along for the milk until the food supply was depleted and then they too were added to the table fare. Well you can enjoy being a pirate for a day by booking a tour on a pirate ship cruise in St Pete Beach, FL. For more information visit https://boattoursjohnspass.com/pirate-cruise-st-pete-beach/.
