What are some foods we can expect when we are living in space stations without any shred of irony? What recipes will make it and what recipes wont? Will it be all mall food? Will it be all hospital food? Will it be akin to a college rompus and dining room? Will it be as the military mess hall? Discuss as this is a topic that matters.
What condiments can we have in a space station logically?? What are the logistics behind sustainable growing for a space station that is hustling and bustling?
Will all the food simply be imported from growers on world or will there be enough space to sustain horticulture to feed that many people?
They will have Lucky Charms but only the pieces that would appear in space. So only the stars, moons, rainbows, balloons and hearts

I would imagine that it would be mostly sturdy, cheap vegetables that can deal with the less-than-ideal soil Spessmen brought with them. Potatoes come to mind.

Any realistic long term habitation unit in space with have sufficient hydroponics facilities to sustain the population of the station.
If a space station exists with people living there for several decades, they'll most likely be eating regular earther food, though everything will be grown on the station. You won't be able to keep that many people happy just eating rations for all time.
Starting outposts will probably be eating packaged rations or badly flavoured machine prepared meals that just fill the stomach and give the required nutrients. Until the population reaches a suitable point where people can spend their entire day just cooking for others, though I imagine the first few years of any outpost like on mars will be solely scientists and engineers building and preparing the area for colonisation.
Food won't be imported past the first few years of set up and major famine disasters, the fuel costs just to send fuel would not be worth it, cheaper to send soil and seeds in the first few shipments and let the people sort out there own food.
Nathan Cooper
All foods will be replaced by yoghurt in the next 20 years.
Pizza and hot pockets. If youre fortunate combining shitty rations into enough poutine to feed a small army.

Is that a fucking space station 13 sprite of the chad stride

This is actually why they prefer tortillas over bread
Aiden Hughes
I say we keep our bread for our burgers and hire janitors and construct floor tiles.

Crumbs are an issue in 0g; a rotating space station would have artificial gravity to make it the same issue as on earth.
Actually I don't understand why 0g makes crumbs worse on the ISS since they have airfilters constantly sucking up the air and filtering out crumbs, dust, liquids, and eventually even carbon-dioxide scrubbers to rejuvinate it.

Hamburgers made from monkey meat and the corpses of crewmembers
Henry Peterson
Because they explode out of shit and get sucked into computers.
John Green
>when we are living in space stations Since you'd only have gravity with a Goliath class starship, you'd need tube food and basically what astronauts have now.
Lincoln Robinson
Anything that can be dehydrated due to launch weight
Jacob Russell
Okay so let's really be serious for a second.
1. Fire is out, if you need a flame to cook it, too bad you're not cooking it. Fire doesn't react the same way as it does on earth due to the lack of gravity, and fire always needs a fuel source, and obviously always burns the fuel source. This leads to dust, which is a no go.
2. Free-added spices are completely out. No sprinkle of salt, no sprinkle of pepper, no anything that you need to add dry. There's simply no way to get it on your food and more importantly making it stay on your food. And because once it's off your food it's just dust, and dust is a no go.
3. boiled water. You can't use boiling water, theres no way to keep it anywhere and theres no way to remove it, and once the moisture is in the air it's a huge problem. You won't be able to boil anything in water.
For the most part, fruit and vegetables are still in, but sadly they all come pre-mashed and dehydrated. You
By the time normal people are actually colonizing space we'll have perfected 3d food printers. Spices will become the biggest commodity again.
Easton Barnes
Probably stuff super high in calcium due to bone and joint problems that come from being in space
Juan Hill
but if there is gravity there's no reason to not have regular as food. fuck this meme zero-g food shit. that's not space station food that's like ghetto
