 Welcome to The Mad Dogs
Galley pages
This page will be under construction for the
next couple of months
This page is the jumping off point for all things good and tasty. We
review products, try out new foods and provide all sorts of useful (and
some useless) information.
Planning, provisioning, storing and preparing food on Mad Dog Voyager,
or any boat, presents their own challenges and hurdles. With limitations
on storage, fridge & freezer space and the availability (or
un-availability) of fresh foods creativity takes the forefront.
However, with a little creativity, ingenuity and a willingness to think
and act "outside of the plastic packaging", we regularly dine on
delicious, homemade, healthy foods. Eating onboard Mad Dog Voyager is
never a compromise!
Enjoy what we have to offer and be sure to check back often as we try to
regularly update this section.

Various sections in our Galley pages |

 Food
on board Mad Dog Voyager:
Creativity in the Galley includes using and preparing
non-traditional
foods and meals. We use a wide selection of dried, dehydrated, canned
(usually limiting to low-salt and organic varieties) fresh and "wild"
foods, along with a ever-increasing range of spices.
As much as possible, everything from
homemade bread & crackers to soups,
stews & chowders, to
apple pie,
scones, cakes and desserts are made from scratch. Preparing
foods from scratch allows us to incorporate a wider variety of foods
while reducing the number of goods and variety of foodstuffs required
on-board. As much as possible non-perishable goods, such as powdered
goods, un-ground coffee, dried foods, beans, soybeans, etc., make up the
majority of supplies on board. As much as possible these foods are
supplemented by
fresh caught fish including
Salmon,
Halibut, Trout,
Flounder, Rockfish as
well as
Seaweed,
Crabs, etc.
Of course the occasional container of whipping cream or a really good
barbequed steak make it into the Galley and on to the table!
