00:00I can tell you about what the food is like, but I wouldn't know how they eat in space.
00:05It's chewy, like red meat is supposed to be, so I guess that's pleasant.
00:09It's good, but it needs some salt.
00:11It's yum.
00:12I like this. It's tubes. Now we are in space.
00:15Oh my goodness.
00:22Today we're trying the space food. This is chicken meat.
00:25It was always my dream to be an astronaut, but I couldn't.
00:28So at least I'm trying this food.
00:33It's good, but it needs some salt.
00:35First of all, chicken meat with prunes. Why prunes? I'm not sure.
00:38Who puts prunes in chicken?
00:40Oh, and it's got this jelly layer on top of it. It's not very pretty.
00:47Oh my god, it's like tuna. I don't like it.
00:48It doesn't have the nice flavors of tuna. It's just very bland and kind of generic meat.
00:56It looks like tuna fish, but I'm not sure. Let's see.
01:02Tastes like tuna fish.
01:03It doesn't look very appetizing. It reminds me of cat food,
01:07but I really love astronauts. You guys are doing great.
01:15Okay, should I swallow? It's not fun.
01:18It's not, no.
01:21I wouldn't recommend this on a daily basis, but if you're on a strict diet,
01:24want to lose some weight, I think this is the way to go.
01:27It looks delicious. It's a little frozen, but I think that's how they have it in space.
01:33They probably heat it. I don't know whether they have ovens up there.
01:38It's delicious. I think it's very good.
01:44It tastes like chicken.
01:49Very much like our own food. Very much like the food we eat.
01:55And it's tasty.
01:58I'm going to try veal with vegetables. This is what some of the astronauts like, perhaps.
02:06It's nice. It's nice. Yeah.
02:08This reminds me of the diet that celebrities go on. It's called the baby food cleanse,
02:14where you eat baby food.
02:21I'm assuming my kids didn't like what I gave them either.
02:24The smell is somewhat like the chicken that we tasted, and so is the taste.
02:30I don't think it's very different. Not spicy at all on the blander side,
02:33but I guess in space, it will taste good.
02:37It smells like chicken.
02:43Oh, yeah. I don't recommend this.
02:45It's chewy, like red meat is supposed to be, so I guess that's pleasant.
02:50And it's got vegetables, and you can taste the vegetables,
02:53and it's quite mushy, like baby food.
02:55You're not wrong. It does look like baby food.
02:59And cat food.
03:02It's like a soup without the soup.
03:07I like this. It's tubes. Now we are in space.
03:10According to Big Bang Theory, which I watched,
03:13it says that it starts with cubes and tubes, the food that you eat in space.
03:17I like the packaging way better than the tin, so five marks on the packaging.
03:22It's cottage cheese. I think this is the dessert, yeah?
03:27I like this.
03:28It's good.
03:32Those of us who've had sweet yogurt, especially those coming from Calcutta,
03:38West Bengal, it tastes like mishti doi.
03:44It's nice. I love it.
03:46I love cheese more than anything in the world, so it's very hard to mess up cheese for me.
03:52It's like a raspberry puree, but the sugary one you would get in a children's biscuit.
03:59It's nice. It's like yogurt.
04:05So after doing the veal and the chicken, it's like you need to brush your teeth,
04:10but I think we're going to cleanse our palate with our cottage cheese.
04:14Yeah, it tastes like a bland cheesecake. It's a nice and smooth texture.
04:18Oh, you guys, I don't eat mutton.
04:26No, no, no, no.
04:27We've got soup in a tube here, which sounds weird.
04:30And then if you look at the consistency of it, it's very runny.
04:34And I thought things like this were a bit of a no-no in space when it came to
04:39trying to prevent all these perishable goods floating around.
04:44Oh my goodness.
04:46Well, that's definitely going to be floating around now.
04:50Definitely not my favorite there, not just because it fought back.
04:53A bit like a chest-bursting alien.
04:55Oh, I can taste the bone broth.
04:57This is something what keto diet would taste like.
04:59I think this is keto.
05:01Pretty sure. I liked it.
05:03I would eat this.
05:04There's minced meat in this, minced mutton.
05:07Minced mutton with very little spice.
05:15And I guess it's fine.
05:22It's a mix of feelings.
05:24This is definitely meat, but it's not that impressive.
05:29But I think in space it doesn't matter because you will enjoy the view.
