The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Space Sushi is a Twitter account that appears to exist for no other reason, other than to show raw fish and rice dangling in space.
The fictional government agency displays all kinds of makis and hand rolls above the stratosphere. No mention of what the point of all this is… but it does make me want a sushi lunch while watching 2001: A Space Odyssey.

If you’re a food commercial, and you’re not this new spot for Lurpak Cook’s Range, then you’ll need to try harder now.
The one-minute ad for Lurpak’s line of butter and oils is nothing short of epic. Set to Richard Strauss’s “Thus Spake Zarathustra” — the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey — it helps set the mood for a space exploration and discovery theme, that would make Kubrick proud. Please watch…

Whether you’d like to dine off of your native Earth, or get extraterrestrial for dinner, Planetary Plates should be on your table.
Forego the fancy china, and break out the fine planets for your next dinner party. Sure, your geeky science friends will probably fight over who gets Jupiter, or ask why there isn’t at least a Pluto saucer in the set. But the real fun will be waiting to see who gets to eat off Uranus.

Try not to panic, but there’s a fresh grape tomato orbiting the Earth. The good news, is that it doesn’t appear to be part of large globular alien race, or some weird government experiment involving farming in space.
No, the tomato traveling at 4.791 miles per second around the Earth will most likely end up in astronaut Koichi Wakata‘s salad. Wakata is aboard the International Space Station, and as he puts it, “One fresh tomato for dinner makes us happy in space. It came up with us on Soyuz TMA-11M two weeks ago.”
And if not, I for one welcome our new tomato overlords.
