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.
