*** Inquiring minds want to know

Ned:

I was talking with the owner of the building in which my office is

located and he remarked that nuclear aircraft carriers go something

like 20 years between refuelings. One think led to another and we then

got to wondering: on a ship of this size (Nimitz Class, basically a

floating city): in the galley, do Navy cooks cook with gas or electric?

I know this seems dumb, but what do you expect from a couple of

landlubbers?

Hope your UK trip went well.

Mark Sofman

(Ready for this? Steam. Actually, there are electric grills and ovens.

Steam kettles and steam heated serving lines are disappearing, but I'll

be the carriers still have 'em.)

Okay, steam makes perfect sense when you have basically a perpetual heat

source to create it, but what if the Captain or the OD or a wing

commander wants an omelet? Does a cook do it in a frying pan or skillet

over steam, on an electric coil or on a gas burner?

Mark

(What did you want in your omlet?)

Eggs, ham, cheez, shrooms, green peppers, bacon, onions
