Theh again, bleu cheese can go quite well with brussels sprouts.

Since lunar gravity is 1/6th Earth's a pound would weigh 2.6 oz.

So my guess would be..."Brussel sprouts and gravy 2 bits!"

And since the pull of the Moon’s gravity is less than Earth’s, plants will be proportionally stronger and able to grow bigger. Imagine a brussel sprout the size of a cabbage!

Aquaculture on the Moon is a viable food source. Imagine cavier the size of chicken eggs!

I love b-spouts, too. I even like ‘em for breakfast. Very low carb. My family thinks I'm weird.
