Luxury

Nicholas van Rijn's faster than light interstellar spaceship carries a luxury atmospheric skycruiser stocked for picnics with:

rye bread
sweet butter
Edam cheese
lox
smoked turkey
dill pickles
fruit preserves
chocolate
plum pudding
sugar-cured ham
brandied peaches
beer
wine
God knows what else

Enough for three people for several months when they are stranded on Diomedes where they cannot eat local food. In an emergency, luxuries become necessities.

See The Food Thread.

Kaor, Paul!

I remember that list of exotic dainties Old Nick loved to feast on! And, ironically, by the end of THE MAN WHO COUNTS Old Nick had gotten tired of them and longed for plain, ordinary food. (Smiles)
