Food on board is largely in tins. When Captain Flint arrives back at the Fram, there was a great pyramid of empty tins in one corner (WH21). When the Death and Glories came into money from the fish and go to the grocers The pile of tins on the counter grew and grew (BS9). Jim Brading says that Uncle Bob and I mostly live out of tins (WD3).

Mate Dorothea cooks at The Dog's Home. When Nancy says optimistically Dorothea’s a splendid cook she replies I never have cooked .... But I’ve often watched Susan (PM3).
