Best Answer

Bone soup, grease grits, hardtack, grog or ale, salted beef, black bean hash, fresh eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, crepe's Croissants, muffins, yogurt with granola, little beef sausages, fresh vegetables, and sometimes ice cream. As a special treat on Pirate Holiday the Captain would serve them T-bone steaks, baked potatoes with broccoli, Texas toast, Caesar salad and for dessert,flambe cherries jubilee.

Grilled trout almond and oysters Rockefeller were served every Sunday after church services followed by a snifter of fine brandy.

A dish called Salmagundi was also popular among sailors and pirates. It was made of whatever was available. Often, the dish included chopped meat ( beef, fish, chicken, pig, turtle, etc.), eggs, anchovies, onions, grapes, cabbage and herring. Salt, pepper, garlic, oil and vinegar were often used as seasoning. It was made in large quantities and could keep pirates going for almost a week or more.

On ships in the 1600-1800's dried meat, stale water, lots of ale, hard tack, maybe a bit of fruit that they picked up here and there. The ships had no head, kitchen, or cooking area. There were no sleeping areas ( only for the Captain) They were not on a pleasure cruise.

Modern day pirates eat much the same as anyone else.

Pirates took a certain ammount of food . drink with them,

mainly biscuits, and Limes, and alcohol

Biscuits because they were good for fat, and fiber etc ect

Limes because they prevented Scurvy, which is a disease of the gums.

Alcohol because sea water is too salty thus dangers for you, milk would go sour, and pop hadn't been invented.

alcohol then was the only other option, i believe pirates are portrayed as rum drinkers because at the time rum was cheap.

alcohol doesn't go off either. and the yeast in it also has benefits

i suppose when they needed more they'd make port and buy/steal more.

or else, send out a boat to sore with a lesser known pirate (as not to provoke an attack) to bring back the goods.
