The Pirates Table contains a brief history of pirates and piracy, pirates in popular legend, facts about pirate ships, tools and weapons, codes of conduct, sea-faring recipes, pirate terminology, pirates in the movies, and links for further study.
While there are pages about piracy, ships, weapons, articles and pirates themselves, The Pirates Table is meant to be primarily about food, not an in-depth retelling of pirate history.
The thirty-four included recipes are a mixture of authentic pirate fare and general seafood dishes. For example, Bombo (spicy rum cocktail) and Rumfustians (mixed cocktails) were actual alcoholic beverages consumed during the height of piracy, while Scrambled Eggs with Lobster and Shrimp & Scallop Fettuccine were hardly typical meals served from the galley.
The Pirates Table was written for entertainment purposes and expresses the sole opinions of the author. This piece is not meant to be a professional chef's essay, but rather an observation about the generalities of "pirate" food and recipes from an amateur home kitchen.
Bon Appétit, me hearties!
