This is New Albion on Mars
00:36
Communal eating is a central part of New Albion life.
00:40
Compartments designated for residences feature very
many cafes, restaurants, and food vendors.
00:47
Food businesses starting up for the morning
are often the very first sounds to
00:51
mark the start of a new day at New Albion.
00:56
Many cafes and restaurants are situated in the
00:59
lower floors of the buildings lining
the road through compartments.
01:03
At either end of residential compartments near
the portal to the adjacent compartment,
01:08
there is an open air food court served by
many small stalls.
01:14
New Albion cuisine is varied, and at the same time
recognisably different from most of Earth's cuisine.
01:21
Due to cost of production and our strict
animal protection rules,
01:24
meat is much less available here than on Earth.
01:28
Vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, herbs, spices,
and so on are always available, with
01:34
few of the ethical issues so problematic on Earth.
01:38
Enjoy your tea, coffee, chocolate etcetera -
there's a chance you worked in its production!
