Hi list, This is an old seafarer’s recipe. It was sent to me in 2003 by a Capt. Max Baltzer who sailed on the Nyanza, a yacht built and owned by Capt. Bloomfield Morris of Harbourville. Max was 93 and dying of cancer when I met him. Max’s sister Mable was trying to find a picture of the Nyanza and a picture of Captain Morris, which were both the last wishes of her brother. I was able to find both and email them to Max via his caregiver in Arizona. Max was able to see both pictures just before his “crossing the bar” and I guess it was quite a tearful scene. To me it was one of those times when all of the reading, copying, borrowing and tracking down old documents as a hobby provided a lot of personal fulfillment. Anyway, Max had sailed with Capt. Bloom in the 130’s as a cook. Follow this link if you are interested in seeing both pictures: http://www.rootsweb.com/~canbrnep/bloommorris.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~canbrnep/bloommory.htm This is the Captain’s favourite “at sea meal”; the information below is in Max’s own words. Take care, Phil … Captain Bloom’s Cornpone: 1 ¼ cups yellow or white corn meal 1 tsp. Salt 3 ½ cups milk 1 egg (has to be fresh) Bring milk to boil and add salt. Add cornmeal slowly whipping with a wire whip so it doesn’t lump. Add egg. Stir furiously so egg will blend. When cooked add crumbled bacon. Sweeten with Maple Syrup. Be particular to take each step just right, as the Captain has to have it just so. Enjoy!
