A few days ago, the mission commander was interviewed Astrobiology Magazine, noting the most successful foods "There's also been a lot of really good cooked dishes. Some of our crew members are accomplished cooks, and every week there are different surprises. Some success meals were Russian borscht, Moroccan tagine, enchilasagna, seafood chowder, and fabada asturiana.
