As you said but not only this. There is the choice and there are the limitations - even inshore - of what you can get fresh ashore. Some countries are predominantly meat, while the others are also predominantly meat but blessed with abundant and cheap fruit. A meat muncher will be happy nearly anywhere. A fruit bat only at places.

So, inshore, there is the choice and there is the local market that sorta limits and shapes the choice.

Offshore, things get a bit off hand: some boats have deep freeze (meat possible), some have just fridges (no meat but fruit and dairy will keep), others (like us) have no cool toys. No toys - no choys ;-)

If we have a lunch ashore (Burger, local special like Mutton stew etc) it is usually a good portion. Then we will have a light snack for the evening meal. Sometimes we have Breakfast for dinner. We eat less when cruising but it does not appear to help my waistline.
