🍴🍴 Derek

{ Food Headcanons }

• Derek has spent his entire life on ship fare, so his experiences to date have been rather limited by what the crew had on board at any given time. Biscuits have never been a favorite of his, mainly because he has never once had one that wasn’t a little stale or hard, and too often he finds them to be infested with maggots to be all that delectable as it were. He also abhors grog – both because the flavor is vile, and also due to how so many good men seem to rely on it to assuage their tempers. 

• Though he never really said as much, his favorite time was generally breakfast back on the Illinois, with Captain Morgan. Fresh, hot coffee and whatever the cook brought in that day was always made good enough in the captain’s pleasant company, with his tales of adventures past and future, and his affable, cheery nature that so often lifted even the darkest of spirits.
