The brown sauce would be fine. The bread is usually tortilla as I understand it.

Re: I am quite convinced
Chris Hadfield, astronaut extraordinaire (due to the powers granted by that mustache), provided some insight on orbital flatulence and <a href="http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/retired-astronaut-answers-amazing-questions-about-space/story-fnjwlcze-1226776314758>informal jet propulsion experiments</a>
A common point (not addressed by Hadfield, but elsewhere) is that flatus tends to remain local in zero-G for lack of convection and breezes**. You have no one to blame but yourself.
**Obviously, you want to be near ventilation lines.

Re: As i said to the kids
The new series is showing on Sky1 at the moment in the UK and is definitely worth a watch, for kids and ex-kids alike. That should make the explaining a little easier, although there's no Pigs in Space (boooooo!)
The Swedish Chef and poor Beaker both make appearances though, and that's good enough for me.

Re: Probably Post Orbital Bevvy Neckfiller - Urban Legend
There's an urban legend that says crew chiefs in the VVS drank up all the ethanol meant for the planes' water-ethanol injection systems (takeoff thrust helper) and that this little habit caused major logistical headaches in winter because mission readiness went to hell...

Have they tried brewing in microgravity yet?
Yes! See here: http://www.space.com/23141-space-beer-student-space-station-experiment.html

I used to go to a tiny bar
near Tokyo station. (15 or so minutes on foot), one of the other regulars at the time would occasionally turn up with home-made bacon made from wild pigs.
It was exquisite, of course not served in bread.
The Canadians and some USA people rate Canadian bacon highly, since I have only ever eaten it here, I am not sure how real or ersatz it was, but pretty good. Not so sure about the maple sauce combo, flavour is alright.
I am sure that others have mentioned that Major Tim (ground control to ...)is not the first Brit in orbit, it was a woman, Helen, I forget the surname, but she went up on Soyuz to Mir years ago.
