Forget the lavish banquets and endless rum of Hollywood's depiction of pirates... In part 1 of this 2 part series, Andy, Dom, and Miles uncover the often disgusting, sometimes desperate, and surprisingly democratic world of pirate food and drink.

From weevil-infested ship biscuits and suspiciously slimy water, to Dom's beheading of his mum's favourite ornament. Expect grim facts, questionable recipes, and a few laughs along the way.
