One time on Erebus helicopters couldn't get in for several weeks so we started to get a little low on food. We found a giant piece of meat buried in the ice near the hut decades ago. Our brilliant chef Drea was like awesome we are having lamb tonight, but then when we got the ice off it and got a better look she was like uhhh I meant brisket. It was delicious.
Usually plenty of selection of frozen food up there-- I ate a LOT of delicious scallops. "Freshies," however, were a hugely anticipated, rare treat.
Sometimes we DID order pizza from mcmurdo, informally, via helicopter (when there was one coming up anyway).
