Tosh just had an astronaut on his podcast. He said they grew romaine lettuce in space, but NASA told them not to eat them because NASA wanted to test them for microbials.
The astronauts ate the lettuce anyway. I’m thinking someone might have took the chance and tried ancient cheese or honey. I know I would have, but I might have been dead too.
Eh if someone is willing to risk their life to eat it then they should be allowed to go for it
The honey is good. Archeologists have found 3000 year old honey that’s perfectly edible.
My mother, who believes in never, ever throwing food away until you can actually see the mold growing, bought a giant plastic jug of honey that she used for most of my childhood. It got sludgier and sludgier as the sugars solidified. Eventually, you could only get it liquid enough to use if you put it in the microwave for a while. And then, even that didn’t work and it was basically just a solid mass of amber sugar gunk.
So I always found that story hard to buy and now I know it wasn’t true. Thanks.
Crystalized honey is still good! Crystalization is a natural occurrence for honey. Just needs to be heated to be liquid again – though some people actually prefer it crystalized because they can spread it with a butter knife
You can do anything once.
You might die, but you can do it once.
Uhh, the point of archeology is wearing cool outfits and escaping devious mechanical traps, obviously.
