Crew Cuisine Tradition / Ritual in Eldrispace | World Anvil

Crew Cuisine

Crew ships, formidable vessels sailing through the cosmic abyss, carry intrepid adventurers on daring missions to the far reaches of Eldrispace. Amidst the vastness of the cosmos, these brave souls require sustenance that nourishes their bodies and fuels their cosmic quests. Cosmic cuisine aboard crew ships blends practicality with ingenuity, offering a gastronomic journey that reflects the spirit of exploration and the diversity of the universe.
Found Military Rations
Aboard crew ships, resourcefulness often leads to the acquisition of military rations. These compact and nutrient-dense provisions serve as vital emergency supplies during prolonged space voyages. Culinary experts on board transform these utilitarian rations into delectable meals, proving that even in the cosmic unknown, flavor need not be sacrificed.
    • Protein Pucks: Nutrient-dense protein bars providing crew members with a quick and energy-packed snack during intense activities.

     
    • Survival Soup: A dehydrated soup mix that, when rehydrated, offers a comforting and warm meal to sustain the crew during challenging conditions.

     
  • Galactic MRE (Meal, Ready-to-Eat): A complete meal packed with a main course, sides, and dessert, designed to be consumed without cooking, ensuring crew members have essential sustenance.
Traded Treasures
Traversing distant planets and engaging in intergalactic commerce, crew ships collect a diverse array of exotic ingredients and culinary delights. Cosmic markets and interstellar bazaars offer a feast of flavors, introducing the crew to tantalizing spices, rare fruits, and enigmatic herbs that enrich their galley with the essence of the cosmos.
    • Spice Mix: A blend of spices sourced from distant planets, enhancing the flavor of any dish and introducing the crew to the diverse culinary traditions of the cosmos.

     
    • Starfruit Delights: Juicy and succulent starfruit offering a burst of sweetness and refreshment to the crew during their voyages.

     
  • Nectar Wine: A rare beverage crafted from the nectar of ethereal Nebula Blooms, shared during celebratory occasions to mark successful expeditions and discoveries.
Safe Meals for Travel
Spacefaring demands hearty meals that endure the rigors of cosmic travel. On crew ships, gastronomic experts meticulously craft space travel-safe meals, designed for ease of storage, rehydration, and consumption in microgravity. Dehydrated stews, pasta salads, and energy bars become culinary staples for far flung hunters.
    • Noodles in Sauce: Dehydrated noodles served with a specially formulated zero-gravity sauce, ensuring easy consumption without messy spills during microgravity.

     
    • Astral Energy Bars: Highly nutritious bars infused with caffeine, providing the crew with a quick boost of vitality during excursions or extended activities.

     
  • Chia Pudding: Astronaut-safe chia pudding packed with essential nutrients, perfect for breakfasts or a energy boost.

 
Missing Crew
Due to dwindling numbers of crew, it is rare to find gastronomic experts aboard ships. In their place, other crew members step in as interim observers to maintain a semblance of order in the kitchen.

These are interesting! The article gives me a "sales pitch for prospective crew members" feel where they get on board and are pissed that they have to eat bland pre-packaged food for years!
