So - salted beef like the kosher butchers sell would be close?
A sailing standby was a couple of tins of corned beef with onions, carrots and potatoes, plus anything else in the locker, chopped and cooked up in a pressure cooker with a couple of pints of water and a couple of oxo cubes for twenty minutes.
There was even a standard accessory of a gymballed holder for a pressure cooker to hold it level and safely clamped over the flame even in a rough sea.
I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
-- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
