== Food == 

 I heard some information once about a dinner hosted for Patrick O'Brian by William Waldergrave and some other Aubrey-Maturin fans at the Royal Naval College? The menu for this dinner, I believe, was based on some of the dishes mentioned in the books. 

 Could anyone write a description on the main article page of this event? I also believe it would  be of interest if a reader could insert a section that focuses on the different types of dishes and foodstuffs eaten by the characters in the novels.
