Pirate foods (sailor foods)
Some foods that are eaten today exist because of pirates. Pirates went on long voyages and needed a large supply of non perishable foods to eat during those times. The issue is that they had no way of preserving the quality of some foods such as vegetables, meats and bread. No refrigerators meant that food would often spoil, to make matters worse the open ocean is actually pretty warm.
After some time pirates started preserving foods in a mixture of salt and vinegar which is how pickles came to be. Meats were salted and left to dry, beef jerky. And lastly bread was salted and baked till hard, crackers. These foods were then stored in a cool dry space on the ship and eaten during long trips. Today people consume these products as snacks but long ago it was the only source of food for hungry sailors.
