Hij organiseerde samen met een brok bedrijfsleven een boottocht voor de ongeveer 250 deelnemers van Hoek van Holland naar Rotterdam die een verpletterende indruk op de Mexicanen maakte. „Dit was de mooiste dag van ons leven", werd er met Mexicaanse uitbundigheid na afloop vastgesteld. En het Captain's Dinner (capucijners met toebehoren, raasdonders zogezegd) wordt het Mexicaanse volksvoedsel.

1976 April 13, Han van der Meijde, “Mexicaanse trein staat op de rails [Mexican train ready for departure]”, in Het Vrije Volk, retrieved 2025-01-10:

Together with a chunk of the business community, he organised a boat tour from Hook of Holland to Rotterdam for the roughly 250 participants. It made a dazzling impression on the Mexicans. ‘This was the best day of our lives,’ they noted afterwards, with Mexican exuberance. And the captain's dinner (field peas with sides, in other words, raasdonders) will become the Mexican staple food.

Kapucijners stonden al op het menu van Oostindiëvaarders, op zondag, met spek, ossenvlees of schapenvlees. Het Captain's Dinner is volgens de overlevering later bedacht door een kapitein van een Groninger kustvaarder. De schotel gezonde, maar vooral goedkope, kapucijners werd aangekleed met allerlei kleine lekkernijen. Het gerecht is nu klassieke scheepskost.

1996 April 4, Joep Habets, “Raasdonders doen de donder razen”, in NRC Handelsblad, retrieved 2025-01-10, Agenda, page 5:

Field peas were already served on East Indiamen, on Sundays, with bacon, ox meat, or mutton. According to legend, the captain's dinner was later invented by a captain of a Groningen coaster. The platter of healthy, but mostly cheap, field peas was dressed up with all kinds of small delicacies. The dish is now classic nautical fare.

(Netherlands) a dish consisting mainly of stewed field peas (Pisum sativum var. arvense) and fried bacon, usually garnished with sautéed onion rings, piccalilli and other side dishes
