Cook's Cook - page 4

July, 29th 1768 DEPTFORD, ENGLAND
T
he H.M.S. Endeavour stands stocked and
ready for our scientific expedition to the South
Seas. I hear that Lieutenant James Cook was
irked to learn he has a one-handed cook
,
but it
was the Admiralty that took me on
,
no less.
Pease porridge one day and salt pork or
salt beef the next. Hardly a difficult menu
for a cook like me.
