Quickly followed by the question of how you eat it in free fall.

Unless you want to fight an endless war on crumbs and odd droplets of liquid floating around, you're stuck with solids that won't fragment, things you can squeeze out of a bag, or things you can suck through a straw. That's going to put a crimp on your culinary style right there.

E.E. Smith brought up the question of eating in zero gravity way back in 1919 in "Skylark of Space", when he had one character suggest it wouldn't be a good idea to uncap a carbonated drink in zero gravity.
