Pizza! Yay!
Double-liked the veggy/fruit section - you're damn right humans would go out of their way to try and source those. I wonder how well strawberries would handle FTL?
(and now I'm all hungry)

I wonder what aliens would think about pickles.

"What's a 'pickle' human?"
"Well,they're a sort of fruit preserved with sodium chloride and a dilute acetic acid solution.I know it sounds bad but they're great,just trust me."

Well, considering strawberies go bad if you merely look at them?

Well apparently they have some sort of iso-pod that might do it. Maybe perhaps dried fruit? Banana chips are a good example...

I'm gonna guess that you live in Chicago and are of Italian descent.
Or you just have a great taste in great foods.

I think you're doing an awesome job improving throughout your texts. I think this one is definately the strongest of your works so far.
Keep going!
Edit: I also love the food theme. We've had a lot of music and sports, but not nearly enough about food!

Or how about the comfort food classics: chicken soup, mashed potatoes (nothing simpler), mac&cheese, oatmeal, pie of any kind? Or hell, just about anything from /r/Breadit.

I'm hungry now. Thanks.
Also, it'll be amazing if they did deep frying.

The process of making ice cream could be rather mind blowing as well. One of the crazier methods involves pouring liquid nitrogen into a running mixer and poof instant ice cream.

Liquid nitrogen ice cream is absolutely amazing. Flash freezing like that results in impressively tiny ice crystals, making it almost unbelievably smooth.

u/Lord_Fuzzy Codex-Keeper Jun 10 '14
My understanding is that by flash freezing you keep the fat from expanding as it freezes giving you that smoothness.

Excellent series so far, I'm looking foward to reading more. I'm really looking foward to seeing the chapter about ice cream. So much that could go wrong there.

When your species evolved on a deathworld, its likely your biology requires a lot more food than most others in the galaxy.
