Salmagundi

Salmagundi

sal·​ma·​gun·​di  (sal-mə-ˈgən-dē)  
1: 
Any mixture of various ingredients; an olio or medley; a potpourri; a miscellany.
2: A food consisting of chopped meat and pickled herring, with oil, vinegar, pepper, and onions 

Pirates had to be resourceful with the staples that they had, especially when it came to making pickled and salted foods palatable. In the West Indies, a popular pirate dish among marauders was salmagundi, a stew of the odds-and-ends of meat and vegetables thrown into a communal pot and heavily seasoned.
Legend has it that Bartholomew Roberts, whose years of marauding earned him the posthumous Forbes magazine distinction of being one of the highest-earning pirates, was eating salmagundi when he was attacked and killed by the Royal Navy.

Captain B's Galley Pals SALMAGUNDI is made specifically for seafood or poultry and can be used as a flavorful dry-cure for your favorite fish. Captain B's strongly discourages dry-curing as a means of storing your meats and much prefers the luxuries provided to us today of modern, electric refrigeration! We recommend dry-curing more as a seasoning process prior to cooking it up.
