Does Food Taste Any Different in Space?

Everyone ’s favorite Canadian astronaut / YouTube hotshot is back to explain how solid food tastes in space . The answer : different ! Sort of . As soon as you enter orbit , your body , release from the shackles of gravity , celebrates by fool away a bounty of fluids into your head and sinuses . So you ’ll barely be capable to breathe through your olfactory organ , much less taste anything .

But once a few days go by , your trunk adjusts and everything goes comparatively back to normal , including taste . So , as Hadfield tell us , you may still enjoy all your favourite Canadian staple : maple biscuit and maple sirup in a subway system , course . But look — there ’s also the more exotic Canadian transportation such as “ coffee , ” “ Salmon River pate , ” and “ buffalo beef jerky . ” In other give-and-take , solidify maple syrup , maple syrup in a can , and buffalo - flavored maple sirup , severally . Bon appetit . [ Canadian Space Agency ]
