We've picked up Goteborg sausage before. It's a lactic acid fermented sausage like summer sausage, but not as sweet as some summer sausages. We've also picked up DAK salami and smoked salami.
I was a bit surprised to see Goteborg sausage as I think of that as a Hawaiian staple served musubi style with sushi rice on top. Works on a lunchy munchy sausage and cheese platter too.
Cheers, RickG

Lazarette said: Bobby's online selection and delivery to boat has been great for us, including our trip last week. We like to make a trip to Riteway for produce and other specialty items we want to see before purchasing. We charter from Mooring's so Riteway is a short walk from the marina. If you charter from Moorings again, you may want to check out their online provisioning - they were great for us and as cheap or cheaper on some items. And, we asked for the adult beverages, soda pops and mixers to be cold for our overnight stay on the boat prior to launch and we arrived around 9pm to cold beverages.....very nice!

I'm chartering owners time so no company provisioning for me this time.
I'm looking for recent experience with what appear to be the three primary markets in RT. Product availability, quality and freshness of produce, reliability and timeliness of delivery services are things I'm interested in. IOW, What's going on right now.
My go to market has been Riteway, but last year, in lateJune, we had issues with product availability, missing items, subbed items and delivery. I don't think this is common there. They just had a rough week, I guess.
I did stop by at Bobby's to find items that Riteway didn't have. Produce looked awful. Otherwise they had what I needed. Very friendly. I've only stopped by at OneMart to buy a case of beer. Looked nice inside. Produce was average looking on a Friday ..... And when is produced delivered?
I know of but have never used Good Moon Farms. Might take a trip there if others think it's worth the drive. We have a few days onTortola before our charter so, time to look around.

GeorgeC1 said: There is no reason you can't use the Moorings provisioning with owners time. You simply enter your contract number on the website. We were very impressed with the service two weeks ago. Arrived at the boat to find everything onboard and all the cold items put away. Wife says only we she is doing it ever again! G Not using Moorings. The boat is with DYC. Pretty sure they'll provision if I wanted them to. My understanding is that we get treated just like any other charterer which, I am told is pretty darn good. DYC staff has a good rep. I am pre-ordering most non-perishables, will have them delivered Saturday and will shop the rest on Friday. Last year I pre-ordered with Riteway. I stopped by and wanted to check my order on Friday, the day before it was delivered as well as add some things to that order. The provisioning manager (don't remember his name) seemed bewildered by why I would want to do this. He did accommodate us but was not too happy about it. His list and my list were way different in appearance which was more a factor of how my list was downloaded versus how the store uses their lists ..... but it was hard to compare and at first glance there were a ton of mistakes, stuff not there, subbed itesm, etc. His excuse was that they were still assembling the order and I could not go to the back and look at it. Fair enough. I then added a few items and off we went. On Saturday, the 5:30pm promised delivery turned into an 8:30pm delivery after 2 frustrating calls to find out where stuff was. By that time we were all tired (or in the bag) and had little interest in doing a good inventory. We did check a few items but for the most part, we just wanted to get the provisions below and get on with our little party. My fault, I suppose but don't say I didn't try to get all this right. So, while I think the general consensus is that Riteway is very good at what they do, just want to hear from others and their recent experiences. So far so good. It's probably where I'll go to get most things pre-ordered because, when I visit in person, it is a nice store with very good produce (usually), always very clean and seemingly tuned in to provisioning. I'm going to do a lot more picking my own stuff off the shelves this time though. I'd rather actually eyeball what I'm getting after my most recent experience. Still looking for someone to post about Good Moon Farms produce.
