JordanIn space, food needs to be specially prepared to prevent crumbs and liquids from floating around the spacecraft. Also, astronauts often miss the enjoyment of certain foods due to changes in their taste buds caused by space travel. Additionally, they have to deal with the challenge of eating in microgravity, which can make it difficult to keep food on a plate or utensils in hand.
