More About Restauration’s Gladmat Dish:

The Taste of the Crossing

Before departing for New York in 1825, food had to withstand long weeks at sea.

Salted meat, root vegetables, and other provisions that could be stored onboard were cooked together into a hearty, warming stew—simple, honest, and made for the voyage.

“Provisions: Gabba’s Heavily Salted Sailor’s Stew” («Proviantering: Gabbas ramsalte lapskaus») is inspired by the food the emigrants may have brought with them on their journey aboard the Restauration.

This is more than just a meal.
It is a small taste of the hope, uncertainty, and journey across the ocean.

Both in 1825 and in 2025.
Here, you can stand on deck, feel the sea breeze, and for a moment imagine how the crossing to North America began.
