Food for spaceflight must be nutritious, lightweight, and easily stored. As astronauts and cosmonauts spend increasing amounts of time in space, the food must also be appealing. This is an unflown can that contains a single portion of Jellied Beef Tongue. The meat has been prepared in a way so that a cosmonaut can open and consume it without shedding crumbs inside the space craft.
