Thank you for having us.
Thank you.
Honor to be here.
Well, just like Clay said, when you can't really smell or taste anything very well because it's like having a head cold, right?
It's just not that enjoyable.
Matter of fact, it was funny because Clay came to the grand opening of Eculent that we had 12 years ago.
And that was my first question to him was like, what's your favorite thing to eat in space?
And he said, shrimp cocktail.
And I'm like, I can't imagine that.
But, you know, I've had astronauts that tell me they've put Dijon mustard on, you know, apple pie just to make it, you know, taste halfway decent.
And NASA sends up, you know, literally buckets of condiments because, you know, that's kind of what they're craving is something to make the food taste good.
And I know exactly what Clay's talking about in terms of condiments.
Let's get rid of the salt.
Let's get rid of the fat.
You know, when when I first met the food scientists over at NASA, you know, basically what they were doing was taking, you know, American food, you know, Stouffer's, whatever, and basically freeze drying it, repackaging it.
And their main concern, as you can imagine, is more nutrition, right?
So we want to make sure the astronauts are getting the right amount of calories and everything else to keep them healthy.
Taste was not number one on the list.
But for a chef, taste is number one on the list.
Calories are probably, you know, further down.
