duff

A simple pudding eaten by 19th century sailors. This was given to the crew once or twice a week at the most if they were working hard, or if the captain wanted to motivate them. Consisted of flour, boiled water, and whatever available fruit or molasses. Considered to be quite a luxury.

Having been unruly, the crew did not receive duff last Sunday.
