Memories Are Made Of This
Now, at the risk of infringing the Official Secrets Act, I place in the public domain one of the Navy’s best kept secrets, the recipe for Kye.
-
Try making navy-style hot chocolate ('Kye').

This recipe is enough for two people (in most cases).
1. Break a small bar of plain dark chocolate into pieces.
2. Place pieces in a saucepan with one mug of hot water.
3. Heat up until the chocolate has melted.
4. Add one tin of condensed milk.
5. Bring to the boil and serve in mugs.

6. Add copious amounts of sugar to taste.
When out at sea, on look-out watch,
The hours pass slowly by,
But maybe someone brings to me
A mug of steaming kye.
What happened to the slim fresh-faced
Young boy who left here 12 weeks ago?
