Breakfast on Mars
What would you eat if you lived there? Just curious. (Mars bars are off the menu; the GAPAs have dibs on both worlds’ supply.)

First comment again? Maybe?
Hoom…
Choklit!
Martian food…
What kind of food do they have on mars anyway?
fried marsrover. i don’t know.
I would eat rocks. Duh.
Hello?!
Mars is uninhabited. Repeat-uninhabited.
I would eat soba noodles with arame, tofu, and Memmi soup base, as per usual.
From the pictures Spirit and Opportunity sent back, Mars looks a lot like Australia. So I’d grill up something on the barby, mate.
Shish kabobs, then. Mars only looks like Australia if you squint and close your eyes while standing on your head and wearing bifocals. Isn’t it spelled barbie? (We use bofth pronunciations. Oh, I hope someone got that.)
Not even then.
Um. I don’t think what I eat depends on where I am. What I eat dpends more on what I have and what I want.
Probably strawberries. I like strawberries. Yummy strawberries. Mmmmmm……
id kill my own food (aka alien muffins, scones, etc) + eat it
portable choklit
milk choklit omlets for breakfast
german peanutbutterchoklit sandwich on grahm crackers for lunch
sour punch straw noodles w/ choklit sauce for dinner
reses for desert.
Marzipan
choklit muffins
Aaaaahahaha…i get it…
You didn’t see that.
lol jk. It’s actually not bad! *claps* yay GAPA. I name you #1 pun person award thingy winner and yeah.
Milk choklit omlettes? That sounds interesting…
Why do i feel like i’m spleling omlettes rong? Am i?
Oh vell.
S’mars. You make them with martianmallows.
Oh brother… Who’s idea was this anyway? And why did the Enthusiasm site have stuff about this before it was ever visible on the blog? Something fishy going on here. I think, if I was on Mars, I’d die before I could eat. However, if that was not so I would eat blueberries, Milky Way bars, and oatmeal. Ha! You forgot about Milky Way bars didn’t you? Or maybe you just figured no one would be stupid enough to try it.
As usual, there is method in our madness.
When Polly added us to her website a couple of days ago, she described MuseBloggers’ discussions using the craziest example she could think of: breakfast on Mars. She knew there were no threads on that topic and didn’t think one was humanly possible. So I decided to prove her wrong, that’s all. Sorry about the lame puns.
As for Milky Way bars: Earth is as much a part of the Milky Way as Mars is, so it’s just as appropriate to eat them here at home.
Lame puns are cool. They help increase tolerance and patience.
lol
i’m gonna laugh when the posh polyhymnia posts (wheeee i ♥ alliteration)
I’d eat…PRETZELS! I love pretzels. And…erm…Oreo’s! Except not! Little cookies with filling inside that are exactly like oreo’s except they aren’t. I ate a “springtime” one today. It had a happy sunflower on it. I traded it for an m+m cookie. Who needs m+m’s when you can have happy sunflowers?
Plenty of hot choklit!
EGGS! Martian eggs! Whee!
My dad said he didn’t even know eggs were a breakfast food until he went to college, cuz they always had eggs for dinner not breakfast.
I was like “wow”. If i had been online at the time, i would’ve said “…”
But i wasn’t.
Now i’m being really random
But this thread is completely random to begin with.
AAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*recovers, giving no explanation for her momentary collapse and shouting bout*
I want skool to be OVER.
We only have like 70-something more days. yessssssssssss.
Didn’t somebody find ice on mars or something?
Or did they just think they might’ve found something that could lead to the assumption of the possibility that there was ice on mars?
Or was that some other planet?
Forgive the mental lapses. I’m tired.
AAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!
*see above*
Why did the GAPA claim all the mars bars anyway? That was a mean thing to do. *sulk* Sheesh, we steal a bit of virtual choklit and you never trust us again!
*steals mars bars*
Hum de dum…*whistles and casually walks away*
YAAAY! *eats mars bars*
GAPA: AH! THE MARS BARS!
Ebeth: Mwahahahaha…who me?
GAPA: Yes you!
Ebeth: Couldn’t be!
GAPA: Then who?
Who stole the mars bars from the mars bars jar????
Not me.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeese.
I like bagels.
We had bagel pizza today for lunch. Odd stuff that. Just bagel +cheese. (and pepperoni but i don’t like pepperoni and anyway hardly anybody likes this stuff cuz it’s really spicy) and GREASE!!!! WHEEEEEE!
Right. Random shouting over now. Bye peoples.
that was a looooooooooooooooooong post Ebeth!!!
Yep. I had hw to do.
ah hw. you can always tell they are doing hw if they shout random things at you.
oh… procrastinating again? oh well, so am i
id eat CHOKLIT!!!!!!!
procrastination is fun. and the pizza at my school is so greasy that if you lay about seventeen of their napkins on top the grease soaks through all of them and possibly more. i don”t eat it, but some people do and sometimes they try to wipe it all off first but it doesn’t work.
It was actually dinner.
I’m Martian on my Mom’s side.
Pollyhymnia here.
Did anybody say mars-hmallows?
Or my favorite: Chocolate-covered mars-hmallows!!!!
Ooops–I see Robert beat me to it, in post 14.
Speaking of which, have any of you ever tried microwaving Peeps?
I hear it’s fun, but I feel too sorry for the poor Peeps. I’d rather bite their heads off.
25 napkins on my school’s pizza. I *borrowed* Jack’s for the experiment last year. Hey, he deserved it.
Is the plural of rhinoceros rhinoceri or rhinoceruses? I can’t decide.
Actually, we have pizza tomorrow. ill try again and tell you how many napkins i get.
Hi Polly. Welcome to the Blog. Are you an adult? Is that why you can put your whole name on?
I haven’t microwaved Peeps, just regular marshmellows. They expand and get really big, and explode. If you take the marshmellow out right before it blows up and eat it, it tastes really good.
What are peeps?
I have marshmellows. I am hiding them for a special occasion which will never come, so I think I’ll just go eat them now.
anyone ever tried putting a grape in the microwave? it sparks!!!
not kidding. its relly cool.
hmmm… more stuff to eat on mars:
peanut butter w/ toast
peanut butter w/ pancakes
peanut butter w/ apple
peanut butter w/ banana
peanut butter w/ coffee + caramel (its called a tin roof)
peanut butter sandwich
peanut butter w/ spoon
peanut butter (in anything reeses)
peanut butter fudge
peanut butter ice cream
peanut butter crackers
+ ill probably think of more
I like to throw marshmallows in campfires. Never tried microwaving them though…
Peeps are little easter bunny marshmallows that taste disgusting.
Who here’s seen Lord of the Peeps? I loved that. Sooo funny! I’ll post a link if the GAPA will let me…but they probably won’t. *sigh*
pollywhatsit… was that polly’s name in l’engle’s books?
I want to put soap in the microwave to see what will happen.
Oh, great. I opened my bag of marshmallows, and now I can’t stop eating them. I warned myself. I told myself not to, I did. I said “Don’t eat those marshmallows, Jessica. Don’t eat them.” But did I listen? No!
Your name is Jessica? Cool……I know another Jessica. No, Polly in L’engle’s books had a different last name. I never put a grape in the microwave before. but i have put marshmellows in a campfire. First they swell up and turn black on the outside, then they crack open to reveal the whiteness within and it all bubbles out and then turns black too.
Oh! Cool! Polly Shulman is the author of Enthuasim that book that there’s a thread about! Hi Polly! I’ll go to that thread now, though I haven’t read the book.
no, her first name. wasn’t it “Pollyhymnia” or something?
Oops. I didn’t mean to say my name.
I mean, that’s not my name. That’s the name of my imaginary friend Bob. Jessica.
Cool! I have an imaginary friend too! It’s name is Bobbish the Feisty Gnome.
I like the name Bob. If I say it backwards, it’s still Bob.
I have two imaginary friends. There’s Bob, I mean Jessica, and Freddie the 13th.
Yes, I’m an adult–and yes, I’m the author of Enthusiasm. Sorry, I hope I didn’t alarm anybody with my whole name.
Peeps are those marshmallow chickens (or sometimes bunnies) you find around Easter in the candy aisle. They’re very bright yellow–or blue or pink or purple–and they don’t really look edible. Yum!! They’re particularly interesting when stale.
The original Polyhymnia is the Greek muse of sacred song, as you Muse fans surely know better than I do! I remember a Madeleine L’Engle character called Polly, but I don’t remember if it’s short for Polyhymnia.
When I was in high school, I had a friend who was also called Polly. Her family came from Greece, and her name was short for Polyxene, which she said meant “very strange.”
yeah. greek muse. thats it.
PEEPS!! Eyerone, NEVER microwave them. They go BOOM!! Ohhh, there is a really funny website involving peeps, i cant remember it now, ill have to try later if the GAPAs let me… hmm, reading back, i see someone allready said that about microwaves. Oh well. Lusifer Inc, your real name is Jessica? cool. I like that name.
Back to breakfast on Mars: waffles are perfect for breakfast anywhere, anytime.
I would chew Big Red cinnamon flavored gum, and Big Red dog food. (I’m using green letters because 1. I’m here on Earth and not Mars, 2. I like to put things in numbered lists, and 3. I can’t figure out to type in red. Well actually, I take that third one back. I could type in red, but the WordPress would strip the command out. But getting back to the subject, I would have breakfast. What for breakfast? I assure you that I don’t know. I’m hoping for CHOKLIT!!!!! And ROCK CANDY!!!!! Well, I’ll post later. Oh, and by the way,
Shotgun #11 cordially thanks you through me, Kokopelli #13, from the deepest pits of his heart for celebrating his birthday on the 22nd of February, etc etc etc. Long live the great MeShotgun #11, hooray hooray etc etc.
The sincere(or not) and respectable signature of Kokopelli #13:
Yes, and speaking of things that go boom, Pop Rocks.
But did you know Mars isn’t actually red? It’s more sort of beige.
There’s plenty of beige food. Toast, hash browns, sausage…
You know what”s good anywhere, any time? Hot chocolate. I was at sleepaway camp, and it was 90 degrees F, and we still had hot chcolate.
Right, the GAPA haven’t answered, so i’m gonna try to post the link and see if it’s deleted.
Lord of the Peeps
If there’s no link there (which there probably won’t be…) then i say “hrumph!” and give u a smiley frowny.
You’re right, Ebeth, I deleted the link. Overprotective GAPA at your service.
But all you MuseBloggers, you can find the Web-site very easily on your own. No link needed. Just enter “Lord of the Peeps” into the search engine of your choice and you’re sure to find it. — Rosanne
Is that the one where they did the survey with the peeps in the library? If not i try to post the website if the GAPA let me.
waffles are yummy.
we always get frozen waffles (yuck), so for years i detested them. then i tried a real waffle @ someones house last year + it was soooooooooooo good. but my parents are to cheap to get a waffle iron. i havent had a waffle in maybe 6 months… *sniffs + feels sorry for self*
ha. last year in chem we were putting stuff in a bell jar + creating vacuums… it was hilarious: the teacher put a peep in the thingy + it grew to maybe ten times its original size. then some ppl actually ate the peep

why did it do that to my cereal? anyways heres the nurtrition facts in case anyone cares

servings per box: 6
total Calories: 500
total fat: 3 g
saturated fat: .5 g
chol.: 5mg
total carbs: 60 grams

protein: why would there be protein in this stuff?
ing: high fructose corn syrup; glucose; fructose; just sugar in general; lots of partially hydrogenated stuff; “natural flavor” … locust bean gum; xanthan gum, caramel colour; cottonseed oil… the rest of it you dont want to know
+ that little thingy was supposed to be a spoon
dont forget to put the sugar on top
On Mars, I would probably eat a quart of sandwich and a big slice of milk every day, with a glass of coconut on the side. Yummers.
Right now my brother is shouting-shouting at my mother in a whiny sort of way. I would go tell him to stop that, but my mother seems to have a handle on the situation.
Peeps are not made of anything really edible. So why we eat them, I don’t know. It must be the pretty colors.
I’ve microwaved regular marshmallows before, the jumbo kind. It’s fun. They poof up as big as tennis balls, and then collapse into a sticky residue on the plate, making it impossible to wash. Tee hee.
I use a paper plate. And it ddid that to the birthday cake i made for Shotgun 11. I don’t like it. I’ll try to make another food. Guess what it is. Hope it turns out.

YAARGH! Whats wrong with it? Oh well.
My dad is playing with his new cordless electric drill. It’s loud.
Is it a birthday cake with candles on top?
No one eats Peeps. It’s simply not done. Inconceivable. You microwave Peeps until they get really big, which is extremely diverting, like filling a white conical bath with ebony and filming it and putting the film backwards in the projector, then take them outside and poke them with a shish kabob stick. No eating involved. DO NOT INGEST PEEPS! And do it one at a time for your first go. Multiple Peep microwaving is tricky, and should only be attempted by experts, idiots (self included), and certified HAM operators.
I might conceivably eat AEROGEL on Mars. Is AEROGEL edible? It’s supercritically dried gelatin, I know that. Anyway, it’s the froodiest substance ever. I have a vision of Zaphod Beeblebrox slicking back the hair on his heads with it. No using paper plates on Mars, they would never decompose and you’d damage the Martian environment. I would also eat listening to the Shins, or Eurythmics, or Devo, or something space-age, and talk to the people at JPL. Sign me up.
i would probably eat fried potatoes, thats what i eat on earth too.
Wait a minute-what am I doing on Mars? Uranus has a moon
called Juliet. Neighbors: Portia (Merchant) , Cressida (another Shakespearean play), and Rosalind (As You Like It, which I know intimately). See ya later, I’m either ordering takeout from Milliways’ or staying on Juliet.
Wait, it’s covered with lava. OW!
On a differnt subject, dont microwave eggs either. They go BOOM!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I just reread the peeps library survay…Funney! Anyway, this is not a link, i couldnt figure how to make one it is just a website. It should take you stright there if i havent messed up.
http://www.millikin.edu/staley/fluff/peep_research.html
Its very funney, well worth visiting if your in a bad mood.
[It looks Mostly Harmless, except to some of the peeps. Approved. –Admin.]
You gotta see it. It’s hilarious.
Moon pies.
Corn Chowdah.
L the OR, are you new?
im a granola freak. anyone else a granola freak? its relly good mixed w/ vanilla yogurt, plain yogurt (+ im also a yogurt freak), + even cottage cheese. hmmm…strawberry granola, maple/pecan granola, pumpkin flax granola, …*daydreams*
that first one sounds good emogrl.
Oh i love granola mixed with yogurt!!! I havnt had it for breakfast in a long time though…
Are we all ready for a fabulous evening’s apocalypse?
I’ll fly out to Milliways, or the Big Bang Breakfast Burger Bar at the other end. Sigh. Oh Douglas Adams, you make my day, you froody person.
“I know, you’re so glad to see me you can’t even find words to tell me what a cool frood I am.” Go. Zaphod. Beeblebrox.
MARTIAN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!duh.
81-Life, the Universe, and Everything. I happen to be just slightly obsessed with Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Stig: Slightly? Uhhh…
Rhonda: Yeah! She didn’t talk about it for HOURS today. I felt it.
Ikol: Pathetic.
Stig: Yeah.
Rhonda: It’s a cult! She likes it! Zark off!
Stig, Ikol: Obsessed. Totally.
*goes nuts- again *
w00t. the city i live in has a natural foods place + it has these big bins of natural peanut butter (relly good if refrigerated), almond butter, cashew butter (this could possibly be the best stuff ive ever had- yes, better than peanut butter), + sesame butter, which is also called tahini i think. ive never tried that last one, but i heard it tasted kind of bad anyway.
does anyone remember when … i think it was jif.. had those 3 flavors of peanut butter? there was chocolate, apple cinnamon, + wildberry. i relly liked the wildberry stuff, too bad they stopped making it. *finishes going nuts for the time being*
would somebody try
“peanut butter on a chocolate chip cookie with whipped cream and chokolit sauce”
sounds very good to me…
tribute to a friend who brought it to school
my friend + i were inventing stuff w/ leftovers a long time ago + she made me try a bagel w/ whipped cream + caramel. it wasnt that bad actually
what about frosting on crackers?
Pingus: Yum Very good unless u have saltine crackers then its very bad!!!
Penguini: Pingus is a resessive alternate personality/ego

Well, I think that I’ll eat a;dlkfjg rf;a selkfjad;lskfaje;sr. Yes. That’s right.f I figure that if I lived on mars, I’d probably go exploring. Then one day…la, la la, la la…I find some tiny bug. I put it into my little handy dandy tupperware, (hope that isn’t copywrited), and take it home. There, I’ll look in my super duper Formaaoskt ekldkjf, which means What’s out there? in Ioknle, the common language on Mars (I never said the little bug couldn’t talk), and find out that there wasn’t a name for cooked alsldkhjg, which I learned was the spiecies of that bug. Whew, glad I got that over with. But wait, there’s more! I’d then roast it, and call it a;dlkfjg rf;a selkfjad;lskfaje;sr. If you don’t believe me, just ask the nearest Martian, or however you spell it. It’s the synonym for alien.
And if you still dont belive me, to BAAAADDDD! HAAAAA HAA Haa, you don’t know who I really am! Or where I live, Or What country I’m in, or…
No insane asylum for Me!
I’ll have:
1 cup of miliway milk
12 bars of chocolate(maby a little less)
9 mar cookies
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
choklit
and
pixi stix
or just plain
sugar
and a large glass of water
its dry up there
dont ask how i know
Weeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll………………………………….i would’nt be alone, ’cause……I’d get bored. I would probably eat freeze-dried ice cream and that wierd stuff out of a toothpaste tube that astronauts eat. yum.
Or eggs sunny side up. Teeheeheee
Hey, “someone out there”:Never eat anything that has three eyes or can talk or…
what i wouldnt eat is more of the stuff i had for dinner tonite… it was couscous w/ apricots, coconut, leek, cherries, & pistachios. and a ton of curry pwdr. it wouldve been relly good w/o that stuff. its not sitting well. bleh.
CHOCOLATE
NO….chocolate bad. Otzi give up for lent…..no chocolate, Otzi
Gotzi….Gotzi………..no…..no…….*twitches*
I hate marshmellows
Actually, I don’t hate them.
I hate the fact that they’re made from animal hooves and bones.
*Veg. part inside Otzi shudders*
I know. Gelatin is too. It’s so disgusting. Do you know that before marshmellows were commercially made they were medicines fron a Native American tribe and actually made from a marshmellow plant?
#101: wha…they are??? *rushes to find her bag of marshmallows + read the ing list* …EEE!
…great. im vegetarian. + now ill never be able to hav smores again.
gelatin is gross
I think that you can buy gelatin-free marshmallows. I just have no idea where. eBay?
i relly hope so…
you can subsitute eggs w/ lecithin.
who knew?
Fe fi foe fum I grind your bones to make my Jello brand Gelaten…….Eww.
Is every body vegatarian
I want to be. When i go to summer camp i am, but I can’t be here, because my parents make me eat all of my dinner.
it almost feels like i didnt choose to be veggie. all that happened was last year, the day before thanksgiving, i just looked at some turkey + started getting sick. havent had meat or fish since then.
Last yr, i did a school project on Factory Farming…If u dont know what that is…Google it. Guarenteed vegitarianism in just one Googling!!!
I don’t think I’d be able to go vegetarian, even if I tried. I’m like you, VF, and there’s no exception (unless I can go with out dessert*gasps*)
Crowed faints, and is revived only by people stuffing sugar and cake into their mouths, while chanting “DESSERT”
what do you have against vegetarian?!
Oh, nothing, nothing. It’s just that I don’t know how Mom and Dad would take it if I was.
Mars Pebbles. The cereal.
Man, this thread is ancient!!!!!!!!
114- dude…
