Just putting an old penny in a little cup of lemon juice and watching it come out sparkling really lights up a room full of preschoolers :)<br /><br />As to the dishes, most seamen had their own "mess kit", so washing tankards and trenchers after a meal was usual up to the individual. It's probably best not to imagine how those dishes were actually cared for.<br /><br />With the officers, however, stewards and/or ship's boys were often responsible for dishes (sometimes china) and flatware (sometimes silver). More than one source mentions vinegar or lye soap for clean up.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-65565611950960282472012-11-27T22:42:04.644-09:002012-11-27T22:42:04.644-09:00I didn't know that about the lemon juice or vi...I didn't know that about the lemon juice or vinegar to clean the pans! :)you learn something new every day.
