Astronaut Chris Hadfield - who will take over the command of the ISS station from March - has just posted on the Internet the first part of his new program called 'Chris Hadfield's Space Kitchen'.

In the published video, Mr. Hadfield said: "In the first days of space exploration, food was mostly packed in tubes. However, at present, we (astronauts pillar) has everything we eat on Earth. '

Still, according to Mr. Hadfield, there are still some foods banned in the universe, including sandwiches.

'For sandwiches, we replace tortilla bread (a round, non-fermented rice paper, made from wheat flour or corn - PV) because here, the debris floats around. The tortilla pieces are packaged and have an 18-month shelf life, ' Mr. Hadfield added.

This Canadian astronaut also demonstrates how to make a flour tortilla spread with honey and peanut butter. He revealed that some objects, such as honey jars, could be attached to surfaces by gluing to prevent them from drifting away.

However, other items can cause problems, such as when a tortilla cake floats away from Mr. Hadfield.

While preparing the dish, Mr. Hadfield also mentioned an interesting fact about honey on the space station.'The bubbles are in the middle of a bottle of honey because there is no gravity,' he explains.

Mr. Hadfield said that when eating foods like peanut butter and honey, astronauts can easily get dirty. Because there is no terry water in the space, they must use disposable wipes to clean after each meal.

Video Chris Hadfield's 'Space Kitchen' is the latest in a long-range communication series of online images, messages and videos that Mr. Hadfield sent back to Earth from the ISS and published on Facebook and Twitter websites. . This astronaut is expected to post more videos of how to eat in the universe.

There has been a major change from the viscous meat powder that Yuri Gagarin, the first person to fly into space, pulls out from a toothpaste tube to hearty meals to satisfy gourmets' taste. for astronauts in the present.
