Well, stuff doesn't rot. We went into Shackleton's hut where they left things kinda as they were when they left Antarctica 100 years ago. There is a seal carcass in there that is older than mine. You could cook and eat it today (so I'm told).

Well, not fresh fruit and vegetables unfortunately. The CSs, that's Culinary Specialists, do a great job varying the menu and trying to make each day special. That being said, everything has been stored for a month or so while we're actually in the ice. We had four meals a day:

Breakfast: Typically omelets and pancakes/french toast with the option for eggs made to order. Lunch: This would vary but is usually the most important meal of the day because it's the one everyone is up for. Meatloaf, shepherds pie, flank steak, or some other popular American dish. Hamburgers and the like were pretty common. Dinner: This would usually be fish and the big meats. Steak, pork loin, etc. You'd also get your spaghetti and stuff here. Midrats (Midnight Rations): This is anything the cook felt like. Sometimes we'd get hand rolled pyrogis and other times we'd have chicken nuggets. No telling.

Cold and strangely fishy.
