[HPFGU-OTChatter] astronaut ice cream -- was Space sticks

[Starling]

Astronaut ice cream!!!
I used to eat that stuff by the pound, i couldn't get enough of it.  (Perhaps since my childhood dream was to be an astronaut, and as my family supports best through food, i got tons...)
they used to sell it in the Vanderbilt Planetarium, which is only a few miles from my house (Long Island, NY), and I would eat myself sick during the presentations.  To this day I can't refer to it as freeze dried -- just takes all the fun out of it.

  Oh yes I remember these!  Somewhere between Fudge and slightly 
  undercooked brownie texture.  I loved the Chocolate flavor, don't 
  recall the other flavors at all. 

  Now, do you remember Freeze Dried Ice cream?  You can still get that 
  at camping supply stores.

  Please forgive my spelling- I am a lousy typist, and Yahoo doesn't 
  provide a spell check option on it's "mail" or "Post" functions.
