Salamagundi was a favorite pirate food. Below you will find two of the most popular recipes for making salamagundi. Now, plan a pirate banquet. Determine how large your crew will be and how much salamagundi you will need. Design and send out invitations. Decide how the table needs to be set before your banquet can begin - milk crackers usually accompanied the salamagundi.

1 large pot with cover
1 quart of cold water
salt, pepper, and garlic - to taste

Recipe #1: fish, crab, wine, spices, anchovies, cabbage, hard-boiled eggs, 8oz oil and vinegar dressing

Directions:

Dice the ingredients from either list and place in the large pot containing the cold water.
