Mmmm, space food
Skylab crews used this food-heating and serving tray, and though it looks clunky, it was a vast improvement over NASA’s previous attempts to feed its astronauts while in space; the system meant that astronauts no longer had to squeeze out their liquified food from plastic tubes. What’s more, the men were able to select their own food items and prepare them to their own tastes. The food shown outside of the tray consists of, starting from bottom left, grape beverage, beef pot roast, chicken and rice, beef sandwiches, and sugar cookie cubes. The tray itself consists of, from back left, orange beverage, strawberries, asparagus, prime rib, a dinner roll, and butterscotch pudding in the center.
