Would sukaree be pronounced sucre? If so, it sounds a lot like sweet in French.

In fact, every time i try to prounonce sukaree in french i'm saying "sukar" or "sugar" !

No, it's pronounced su-kar-ree.

In oriental languages, syllables are always pronounced the same way, no matter what precedes or follows.

Crelk: A fish-like creature found in Kerbin's seas. They have been incorporated into many different cuisines, whether in space or not. Good when prepared, but also good just by itself. Unlike Earth fish, Crelk can be frozen, dried or even kept fresh for extended periods of time, though they do become a little hard after a while.

​PTR-1K

An off-white paste in a small foil tube, which consisted 3 of the 9 meals aboard the Comet I space craft, the first one to orbit the planet. Contains 8 percent water by volume, 40 percent processed crelk fillets and 52 percent blend of dough, salt and vegetable puree. No longer in service due to their lower calorie/gram ratio compared to other foods, and the fact that they taste 'horrible' and 'interestingly grassy' as said by everyone who ever tasted it.

Dried Astronaut Short-term Ration (Crelk & Clam Biscuit)

A much more palatable ration designed for short to medium-duration missions, this product consists of a very small rock-hard grain cake, some dehydrated Crelk slices, a tin of pickled clams, and a bag of strange slurry added to the wheat cake. Preparation can occur in two ways: The first, for small craft such as Mun landers is simply to add boiling water to the slurry pack, put in everything else, and let it sit for a while in the bag. However, this makes it more of an oatmeal and less of a biscuit. The second preparation method is more complex, intended for craft with kitchenettes or at least a microwave: put the wheat cake into the slurry package, seal it, and then heat at 150 C for 4 minutes. Then, ,user should garnish the now larger biscuit with the seafood supplies in the package.

Hardtack - A extremely durable and dry biscuit that lasts for quite a while. Early space flights often included it as one of the main foods until the revolutionary discovery by Desbin J. Kerman that crumbs can severely damage computers. Nowadays it has been mostly phased out of the food manifest.

If this was discontinued soon after the discovery of crumbling issues, then this wouldn't have made it into the SPICE list in the first place.

You have a fair point, but I still like the story of it.

Another idea Kube 'o' Doh (like the Star Trek food cubes https://imgur.com/a/A9Q8nQi)

After James T. Kerman was inspired by some modeling Klay he made his own dough with a perfect balance of nutrients for livestock. That idea failed horribly, fortunately S.P.I.C.E. took interest. Now Kube 'o' Doh comes shaped into cubes and sealed in six different flavors per package.

Some posts have been removed. 

Complaining about necros just adds to forum clutter, people, especially in situations like this where the thread is still active and relevant.

"Sukaree"

Sounds a lot like russian "Sukhari", which means "hard chuck" (at least Google translated so). In fact, if it reads "Su-ka-ree", like was said, difference is only in that in "Sukhari" "k" is slightly muted.

Interesting!

Puud, Almond (R) Preferred by kerbalnauts because nutty flavors aren't usually common, and also because space tastes like almonds.

@Quinby Kerman - Fantastic, thanks! Added to the list.
