I personally belive good food supports effective boarding but sometimes too much is not nessisary.
Im sure we've all had "that pirate" who eats 5 whole pineapples while trying to drop your anchor and ends up falling off your boat with an empty inventory.
Since good food like Pineapples, Mangos and Meat can be easily obtained do you; The Dedicated Boarder have as a favorite go to food loadout you grab before you put yourself upon an enemy vessel?
