Obviously the reporter doesn't understand how to properly enjoy Space
Turkey.

Thanksgiving in space: stiff turkey, bland yams

.....

A week before Thanksgiving, NASA gave reporters a taste-test of the 
astronauts' holiday dinner. The smoked turkey was slightly stiffer than 
deli meat, like after it has been left in the refrigerator a week past 
its expiration date. The candied yams had a syrupy sweetness outside 
that dissolved into blandness in the middle. The green beans with 
mushrooms tasted like they have been frozen and then microwaved to an 
inch of their life.

The saving grace was a sublime cranapple dessert. There was a tartness 
to the apples and sweetness to the cranberries mixed with pecans and 
syrup in a dish that resembles cobbler filling.

NASA takes special pride in desserts.

"All our desserts are wonderful," Perchonok said.
