Bacon sandwich in the ISS.

[sheeprug]

I very much enjoyed this account of Heston Blumenthal's attempt to improve space food:

Especially the account of John Young's illicit corned beef sandwich in Gemini 3.  Somehow it makes the whole space exploration activity seem more 'human'.

And of course if goes withut saying that I'd happily eat freeze-dried food for the rest of my life in exchange for a trip to the ISS!

Heston's food sounds like something from Outer Space to me,and his prices are Astronomical!  LOL!

[roblegion]

Dried food, pureed hyper protein food, even Heston's food. I'd eat anything if I was STARving even a Galaxy or some Quark cheese.

Rob-I was going to suggest Stargazey Pie,then I noticed that you are from Cornwall!

It must have registered without me consciously noticing as I scrolled down the thread.

Stargazey pie is ok if you can "Face" it.

Heston is fun to watch but about the only thing i have in my kitchen that ive seen him use is an egg and i sure aint gonna spend 7hrs cooking it to perfection.

What!!!!!!, no liquid Nitrogen for cooling things?

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

I do have an extensive set of utensils, including exotics like sugar thermometers, filleting knives, and even a little gas torch for creme brullee, but not a vat of liquid nitrogen.

As an ex head chef I have seen some (censored) on TV, especially from HB. The one that comes to mind was he was making ice cream using liquid Nitrogen, what they forgot to mention was "don't try this at home 'cos if you get it wrong, your hands will freeze and fall off".......

The best one, that works is cook a whole salmon in your DISHWASHER... and yes it does work, brilliantly.

Next week, how to marinade your chicken in nitric acid for tenderness (joking).

Nothing wrong with wrapping your pastie in foil and tying to the exhaust manifold so it's nice and hot when you reach your destination.

Won't the jam melt?

Mythbusters.......

They have brought us (over the years) many delightful dishes such as: Dishwasher Lasagne, Explosive tenderised steak,food cooked on a car engine block, explosively juicier fruits, zero gravity popcorn........and no, not every unknown weird meat "tastes like chicken", but to name a few.

Now hand me my C4...........cuz i have a hankering for an omelette.
