I am sure A.P. can't just be Apple Pie.

H.D. may possibly be Hors D'Oevres?

The message
from June Hughes contains these words:

A.S.M. what a 19th century sailor would eat

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

Could be. They ate weevily ship's biscuit, which could well be cut in
squares.

Janet

I believe [have read] this to have been an original definition of
the expression, as the biscuits were square but can find no Oxford or
Roget's confirmation.
Regards Brian.

A.S.M ...Quite right, in those days they had little room to sit and eat on
board ship and had square wooden plates to take up less room.
O.t.F .....The edge of the plate was known as the fiddle so "on the fiddle"
meant he had a good plateful of food that was hanging over the edge.

google says wooden trays

fiddles are vertical strips of wood attached to a boat's table to stop
plates etc. sliding off when the sea is rough.

Vertical?
