Fleet Week 2015 with Avocados from Peru

July 1, 2015 by Merly 165 Comments

Have you ever had the chance to see a military battleship in person, or walk across the same deck that many United States sailors work on every day in their line of work? I never had, until I had the chance to go aboard the USS Cole with the Mr. Food Test Kitchen while it was docked at Port Everglades, in Fort Lauderdale, for Fleet Week.

USS Cole - Fleet Week

Check out this great shot, shared on the Fleet Week’s Facebook page!

Let me tell you, seeing one of these boats in real life and speaking with the men and women who work, play, eat, and live on them for most of the year was an unforgettable experience. And while I’m more than happy to share photos and stories of my experience (along with a really cool giveaway!) I really think it’s worth it to take a guided tour of one of these boats on one of their many stops around the country. (Don’t worry, the U.S. Navy has special events for inland cities too!)

Merly on USS Cole

That’s me, happy to be aboard the USS Cole!

The ship we got to tour was the USS Cole, a 17th Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, which basically means that it’s a boat built to carry and launch guided missiles. You might have heard about the USS Cole; it’s the same ship that was the victim of a terrorist bombing attack in Yemen back in 2000. Amazingly, this incident didn’t put the USS Cole out of commission. Just a few years later the ship was repaired and has been deployed to locations all around the world since.

So, why was the Mr. Food Test Kitchen team on board the USS Cole? Well, we were there to tape some shows that would highlight the ship, as well as be a part of a very special breakfast, hosted by Avocados from Peru, honoring our servicemen and women with a delicious and healthy buffet featuring avocados. 

Avocados from Peru Buffet

If you don’t already know, avocados are loaded with nutrients, including almost 20 vitamins! And they’re not just part of a healthy lifestyle, they taste great too! What was included on the menu for these brave sailors? Among the many delicious avocado breakfast dishes the sailors ate were Avocado Breakfast Boats and Ciabatta Toast with Avocado Butter. There was even an Avocado Ketchup!

Of course, our hard working sailors did more than just eat their avocados…

Sailor's Avocado Boat

These sailors made their own version of an avocado boat!

Sailor Juggling Avocados

One officer even demonstrated his avocado juggling skills!

Of course, eating the avocados was still the most popular choice.

Check out this behind-the-scenes shot as we taped our show!

After everyone had their fill of avocados and other breakfast eats, we got to tour the ship. Of course, one of my favorite stops was “Hero’s Cafe,” which is where these sailors normally eat while they’re out at sea.

Hero's Cafe

Culinary Specialist 1st Class John Mobley is in charge of the kitchen on the USS Cole:

Yolanda with Culinary Specialist First Class John Mobley

CS1 Mobley with Yolanda, our Associate Producer. Looking sharp Mobley!

1st Lieutenant Hannah Taylor was our tour guide, and she was great about showing us different things on board the ship:

Howard and Lieutenant Hannah Taylor

She took us down the Hall of Heroes, which commemorates the 17 soldiers who died during the terrorist attack in 2000. In this hall you’ll find a plaque with their names, ranks, and ages. The floor in this hallway has 17 gold stars to represent each soldier. The gold stars are polished every morning and the sailors take care not to step on them.

Hall of Heroes

She also took us to the food storage room for a sneak peek at how much food the USS Cole keeps on board:

Sailor Food Storage and Spices

Left: This sailor was taking inventory! Right: Look at all those spices!

Howard wanted to check out the wheel of the ship and see what it would feel like to sail this ship, so up we went:

Steering Cabin

Hmmm…we should probably leave this to professionals like 1st Lieutenant Taylor…

At 8am sharp, we got to witness the raising of the flag. All the ships that were docked did it at the same time, following the same procedures:

Raising of the Flag

That’s the USS Wasp on the left. Talk about a HUGE boat!

Before we left, we had one final thing to ask of the sailors…

Howard and Crew OOH

    I was born and raised in Tampa Fl were we had huge avocado trees in our back yard. We ate them with a little salt and pepper .right off the tree. We eat them in tacos, on sandwiches and my 6 yr old grandson loves them with his egg in the hole. I also put them in our fruit smoothies for the extra vitamins. I also liked them in cucumber salad with onions and tomatoes. We Love Avocados!

    My favorite way to eat avocados is on top a grilled burger made of ground turkey, pork, and tresau the mexican sausage! Spice it up with peppers….Jalapeno and chili peppers…..add Chipolte Paprika to mayo and spread lightly on warm buns. I use Olive Oil mayo….healthier! Avocados are delicious just peeled, sliced and lightly salted and peppered or as a chili dip with fritos. AWESOME ANY WAY you add them to recipes. The Avocado Boat Breakfast is awesome! It reminded me of eating at Waffle House and getting their loaded omelet !!! So next time I think I will add turkey ham to the recipe!! I love experimenting with new flavors!!!

    I have ALWAYS been a fan of avocados! Like everyone else, I love them on burgers, salads, salsas and when I worked, I would spread the avocado right from the skin and put it on saltines. A little slat and I had a perfect late breakfast, lunch or midafternoon snack. Also, at that time, I was on a weight reduction program and could still enjoy them. When my dear uncle passed away, his daughter lived in Florida. We lived in California. I couldn’t decide whether to send flowers, donation to a charity or what. So, of course, I ended up sending a case of avocados! She is a chef so she and her friends really loved them and I felt glad I chose that lovely “green Heaven” to her.

If someone wants to try keeping with a good diet avocados are good for a diet also. I enjoy eating avocados by themselves the best. I have tried to grow my own avocado tree but living in the north it is hard even indoors. I think avocados are great anyway you want to eat them.

    The best way I have eaten avocados was right off the tree in Kauai, HI. I love avocados anyway, but in Hawaii, they make paradise taste even better.

    Avocado is very plain and bland tasting to me.(and it seems most people agree)But,I’ve found grilling it really brings out the great flavor!So I will say Grilled!

    My favorite way to eat Avocados is sliced on burgers, in salad, as guacamole, or just with a little salt and pepper straight out of it’s skin…Mmmm mmm! Love those beautiful green fruits…sooo creamy and delicious! A whole case of Avocados…Oh what I could do with them. My father and I would be in heaven with all of that Avocado goodness going on in our kitchen.

    Fleet week is great! You have a ship full of sailors and avocados. How could you not love that? My favorite way to eat them is with a little olive oil, pepper and of course SEA salt. Im sure it would be even better served by a man in uniform.

    Many years ago I had a friend introduce me to avocados. We would take turns bringing in lunch for the two of us. One day she brought in two small bottles of shrimp cocktail and two avocados. She then cut and pitted the avocado and put the shrimp cocktail on each half. It was total heaven on a plate! I love avocados in any way but my favorite will always be with shrimp cocktail! Thank you for the great story and pictures and for this super giveaway. I can’t wait to try the breakfast boats!

    Avocados are a way of life in south Florida. We put them in sandwiches, make a cold soup. With a little cream of coconut wonderful Popsicles. When they are over ripe we make a face mask and put in our hair. Health benefits are endless.
