Waiter-There's a fly in my soup!

I came across some really disgusting gastronomical suggestions for the astronauts.

Remember, all you SciFi fans, the complaints about pressed soy steaks or yeast porridge and algae jello?

Well, how about dried fly pupa, larvae and adult house flies pressed into a cake or maybe added to a nice yeast broth for some added protein? The nutritional scientists claim over 70% dried protein by weight. Earthworms fell just a few points behind. And as a bonus flies and earthworms do a pretty good job of turning that pesky garbage into more flies and earthworms.

There is a serious side to all this-but maybe you think dried turtle food is serious enough-but it may be awhile before steak on the hoof appears at the local Lunar Mega mart and it is constructive to give even the wildest ideas some thought.

Iron Chief, tonight’s mystery ingredient---fly pupa.
