Since we were delayed by one day in our efforts to reach the Pole due to bad weather at our refueling stop, we were served the sandwiches that we would have carried with us. Also served for lunch was the most delicious tomato soup you have ever tasted. There were pork and beans, cheeses, olives, mushrooms, salads, tomatoes, pepper sticks, juices and milk. For dessert, we could have tarts, chocolate cake, apple pie, peaches and pears, grapes, apples and oranges. Other days, we were treated with ice cream.
