Being An Astronaut – Eating

We wanted to know how astronauts eat.  Do they have a kitchen on the ISS?  We watched astronaut Chris Hadfield make and eat a sandwich using a tortilla. (They don’t use bread as the crumbs would float everywhere.)  It was amazing to watch.

Next, we ate a jelly bean while holding our noses.  Food in space tastes quite bland, and this gives the same effect.  After a few chews, we let go of our noses and the flavour became really strong.
