"Why #Nutella?"

Because paste consistency food is great in weightlessness

Peanut butter is also loved by astronauts

Soft tortillas too: no crumbs floating around

And all these foods don't need refrigeration

Finally, you need calorie dense foods since storage is at a premium

Eat like an astronaut and have a Nutella tortilla

Bonne Maman, the brand that I thought only made delicious jam (safe from home made), also produces hazelnut paste? 🤩

They do.

(And now I wonder if I could make the hazelnut paste myself…)

@benroyce Today I learned about the floating 💩 problems in the #Apollo10.

(OK, I know it's not exactly the same as #Nutella, but hey.)

@benroyce A friend of mine was sailing to the Marquesas from San Diego. Got pulled over by the Mexican Coast Guard. They searched the boat and opened cabinet after cabinet filled with tortillas. Great to have on board for a 30 day passage for all the same reasons they work in space.

Bad diet for shitting though. Our gut works best with bulky low energy density food. Peristalsis requires something to work on! Also your gut needs walking around and general motion to work right. I bet lots of digestive problems up there.

@benroyce I'm struggling to understand why they're eating this. I thought I'd read yesterday that they had all kinds of fancy food never before taken into space. They're reduced to Nutella on a tortilla?

maybe it's like backup food

@benroyce Everything today makes me want to break things. Nutella tortillas should be low on my list but I'm feeling like this is just one more idiotic thing we're expected to get excited about to distract from the Republican party's destruction of the US and our relationships with every other country on the planet.

Show threadFazal Majid1d ago
@benroyce Nutella is mostly sugar and oil, with very little hazelnuts or chocolate. If you have a chance, try Nocciolata by Rigoni di Asiago. Far, far superior and (slightly) healthier. If you have a powerful blender, you can also make your own.
Show threadElectropict1d ago

@fazalmajid @benroyce

Back in the day when I could eat things like that, I used to get jars of hazelnut butter and stir cocoa and a little honey in, on demand; usually doing so on already-warm toast. Taking time to work with the ingredients improves the flavour imo.
