My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #931

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #931 from the issue of February 3, 2025, a pirate captain has lost his left hand but gained a whisk (instead of a hook). He addresses two of his crew. The drawing is by that scallywag Benjamin Schwartz.

"Don't aye-aye me. Just say 'Yes, chef.'"

These captions didn't follow the recipe:

"I thought it was for making whiskey."
"Can ye guess the secret of my frothy cream?"
