Any help with the following would be much appreciated:

A.S.M. what a 19th century sailor would eat
O.t.F the 19th century sailor would be fortunate to
get
this meal
T.I.o.t.C the best bit
A.P. this is really choice
P.B. dessert concocted by French Railway Chef
M. potato variety from the Netherlands
H.D. fortunately offends trade description
P.P.H. astonished person still wouldn't eat it

U variety of black potato

Surely A.S.M. Can't be A Square Meal?
