I've seen on tv, about this, they said they ate freeze-dried foods e.g. packets of sealed in aluminum freeze-dried bananas, and freeze-dried strawberries. I would venture a guess here and say they also eat sultanas and things like that. And, they also use tubes of things, and when the tube is opened, they put the tube to their mouths and suck on the tube to eat, and it's probably I think coffee and sweetened condensed milk together, since they cannot drink coffee in free-fall. It looks like also, they have bags of fresh water with a tube on it, they open the top of the tube, put the tube to their mouths, and sqeeze the plastic bag to have a drink of water. Who knows, they might have secret bags of coffee in those bags to squeeze; but, it would be cold coffee.

PS I saw on tv, either someone was joking OR it was true, some people started to eat the freeze-dried strawberries for the first time, just to see what it tasted like to an Astronaut, and these people were quoted as saying: "it tastes AWFUL, I never want to taste freeze-dried fruit ever again" and other comments.
