As Johnamrosd said, "never serve ashore".
We lived-aboard for nine years, spending winters cruising Bahamas, and summers at dock in Florida.
None of the "pasta & something" dishes that help fill out the cruiser''s food plan NEVER make it back in civilization. Same goes for fresh seafood - ate lots in Bahamas, almost never Stateside.
The idea was to keep these quick, easy, long shelf-life foods "fresh(er)" for cruise use.
Good post!
