Then they discussed the food question. For preparing breakfast they needed a frying pan, a tea pot and a kettle and a methylated stove. But all agreed on one thing. No oil stove. Once they had taken up an oil stove. It have been 'like living in an oil shop'. So they decided never to take an oil stove again. They kept it in the nose of the boat. From there it oozed down the whole boat. It oozed over the river, and saturated the scenery and spoilt the atmosphere. Therefore,they decided toconfine themselves to methylated spirit.
George suggested eggs and bacon for the breakfast. They were easy to cook. For lunch they could cold meat,tea,bread,biscuits,butter and jam. But they were against taking cheese. Cheese like oil could give a cheesy flavour to everything else. It was very difficult to tell whether you eere eating apple pie or sausage strawberries or cream. It all seemed cheese. Jerome narrated an anecdote regarding cheese. There could be advantages of cheese as a travelling companion. It would stink so badly that people left the compartment to avoid it. Jerome had the compartment to himself,though the train was crowded.they didn't take beer or wine but the whisky. They could make one sleepy and heavy. Jerome rather prided himself on his packing. Packing was one of those many things that he felt he knew more about packing than any other person living. He wanted Harris and George should work under his direction. Just when everything was packed, a horrible idea occured to Jerome. He doubted if he had packed his toothbrush. He would repack and forget it. and it was now George's turn. He trod on the butter. The dog,Montmorency would make the things worse. He would get in the way and be sworn at.
