Residual Effects

What I never reviewed about the boat was the food.

I'm a vegetarian, and told that to the chef when I got onboard (I'd have done so sooner, but the booking agent said it wouldn't be possible to get the information to the crew beforehand). I think I mentioned most of my meals were potato-based. Mashed potatoes, fried potatoes - I'd bet something in the ballpark of 80% of my calories came from potatoes that week. The only other vegetables I got, other than the salads, were boiled to all hell - broccoli boiled to all hell, green beens boiled to all hell - really didn't do much for me. There were some better meals, and some soups that were very good, but in general, the food was depressing.

Now, here it is, a week after my departure from the ship, and there's one meal that, upon thinking about it, brings back that sickness to the stomach I had onboard that ruined my appetite. I don't know how to shake this feeling. It's only when I imagine that meal. It was this fried-potato and onion patty thing. It actually was not that bad, and I ate it all, but just thinking about it makes me feel awful. I'm doing it right now, and I shouldn't be. Blech.
