Astronaut Foods Space Food - Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich

I’ve never had anything freeze dried before, let alone an ice cream sandwich. I was lucky to receive mine completely intact, the vanilla is kinda overpowering but overall it’s got a great crunch and tastes pretty good.

Bought as an extra Christmas present for my partner, he was ecstatic as he loves space themed stuff that's unique and fun. He loved it and gave me a bite, but the bar came totally smashed to bits. The ice cream filling tastes like creamy vanilla flavoured custard, and has a texture similar to meringue when you bite it, but if you let it sit on your tongue for a few seconds and get some saliva on it, it starts to melt sort of like ice cream. The chocolate sandwich part is also tasty, much like a Bourbon biscuit. Good crunch on it. Altogether it was a great gift, but disappointed that it came so crushed. Tastes amazing, would have looked amazing, but for the price and long wait time, I wouldn't really say it's worth it... :(

I see some people reviewing this item and giving it a poor rating because they did not like the taste... This bemuses me a little if I'm totally honest. This product consists of a free dried Ice cream sandwich, the purpose of which is to allow this food to be eaten in space. It is not freeze dried because they believe it will make the product better tasting. In my eyes reviewing this product on it's taste is pointless, and bordering the stupid line. Freeze dried products do not taste nice, do not expect it to. I purchased this product out of curiosity, as I'm sure most customer did, and quite frankly, the product is exactly as described, thus my 5* review. Don't purchase this product if you are looking for a tasty meal, you will be disappointed. If you are curious as to what astronaut food tastes like, then purchase this product. Note: It's highly likely that this product will be broken in places on arrival, as it's very fragile and will probably break during delivery.

Good product

Purchased for a quirky gift for my sisters children, item arrived smashed into small pieces, completely unusable for intended purpose. No way to get a refund so I guess I will have to accept I paid £6 for garbage.

Brilliant present for space fanatic son. He got to try space food!!! And it actually tasted nice! Seems little expensive but I bought it as a stocking filler and I think it's educational, encouraged lots of discussion and research into space food.

Bought out of pure curiosity more than anything as a bit of fun. It’s essentially a solid sort of biscuit but much lighter. Mine was crushed on the edges and didn’t turn up in good shape but it all goes down the same way so didn’t bother me too much. It tastes nothing like ice cream but has a nice vanilla flavour. It’s very crunchy and sort of softens in your mouth if you leave it long enough but I’d say it’s more biscuit than anything. Good for something different to try though.

If you were expecting to eat this like a proper ice cream sandwich think again. For the price I would have expected it to be packaged better. On opening it was smashed into tiny pixels meaning we had to eat it with a spoon. Good luck trying to eat this in space!

Good

Why is this SO good? Lol yes, its expensive for one ice cream sandwich and FYI don't open it on your desk over your keyboard like I did with my dogs right underneath 🤣 what a mess and well, we all loved it!

It definitely tasted like an ice cream sandwich, just not cold and had a weird consistency.

My grandson thought this was the coolest thing ever! He ate it and liked it!

I bought them for a gift for Christmas so can't say anything about taste.But they sent them fast.Love the packaging.Size looks good.I think they last forever ,but my granddaughter will eat them up if they are good.Wish they had a huge selection of different food.
