But while these six-sided snacks may make a lot of sense on paper, I suspect the paper would taste a whole lot better. As for their basic composition, I've managed to get a little info from Pilot and Rygel. Unlike some other food we've brought aboard Moya, the cubes never spoil, having an expiration date two weeks after the Heat Death of the Universe. It seems that the Peacekeepers have developed some means of processing raw material and extracting its nutritional potential. While the concept itself is amazing, the reality leaves a lot to be desired.
Food's a funny thing.
It really puts your life in perspective. I've traveled to stars totally unknown on Earth. I've seen mind-blowing technologies that would cause quantum physicists to curl up in the corner and cry. Hell, I've even made out with some of the Uncharted Territories' most eligible aliens. But, honestly, right now I'd trade it all away for a double order of chili cheese fries and a root beer.
