Freedom fries aren't free.
Pho is quite common in Southern California. Curry (Japanese, Thai, Indian), less so.
I love me some Japanese Curry. There's an excellent Katsu place in Costa Mesa.
As a rule, I don't care for Pho, don't care for the spicing. Similarly, I don't care for the Vietnamese food I have had. Again, the spicing, but also their (apparently) ample use of rice noodles and such. Don't care for the consistency of those.
And you can't drag me into a Peruvian Restaurant, I've been at least six times, always trying different things, was never happy.

Generally, we prefer the evolved form of the food stuff, not the original.
Then, we mass clone them.

Texture is a considerable fun part of eating.

I don't have a lot of Imperium-spanning establishments IMTU; the closest I come is Bay 12, Please! which is a bar-and-grill chain found in many class A and B starports in A quadrant of Ley Sector, sorta like TGI Friday's and mostly known to cater to brokers and starport keypunchers who prefer watered-down drinks; it's the kinda place real spacers avoid if possible.
I do have local eateries with offworld origins reflecting nearby systems and cultures, so in my Reaginworld Beltstrike campaign, you have Stroopwaffelhuis, Koopman's Chop House, Sari's Noodles, and De Oude Brouwerij which have their origins among junkers of Dutch and Indonesian extraction - Stroopwaffelhuis and De Oude Brouwerij are both chains based on Arnitag. Cantina Cohete, Paco's Tacos, and Pupuseria Salena trace their origins to the worlds Almira, Valisa, and Selena, all settled in part by Solomani with origins in Central and South America. Falafel and Family is owned by whitestars from Helena, with origins among Greek, Macedonian, and Turkish Solomani settlers.
Reagin's World, the largest and most populous planetoid in the Reaginworld Belt and site of the system's class C starport, has exactly two local industries aside from belt mining: one, a factory for reconditioning vacc suits and two, Green and Pleasant Land (GPL), which turned old mining tunnels into a mushroom and algae farm. Fungi make up a significant part of the mollies' diet, as reflected in the restaurants Shroomburger - a fast food joint - Fungi Factory, Morel of the Story - fine dining - and Al Gee's Family Buffet, with its cartoon alga mascot.

We left Sherwood a few weeks ago, after enjoying several meals at The Forest.
They specialize in venison, boar, lapin, taters, mushrooms, and tree nuts.

I'm totally putting Seth Skorkowsky's Shwarma Cat ("feed the Warrior") into my Traveller Universe!
In most Starports of Class C or better there is a franchise named "Ivan the Edible". It's been around for decades, sort of a neighborhood bar style restaurant like a TGI Fridays, or Applebees, serving cheap well drinks and a menu the size of the Moot Roster (mostly appetizers). Their signature appetizer are deep-fried, parmesean dusted, bacon-wrapped bacon. Basically salty cheese on cured fatty meat all deep fried in a carbohydrate batter. Perfect for snacking with a frosty-foamy fermented grain brew! It might be able to clog the arteries of a warrior Aslan.

The above reminded me- if you want exotic dishes, the Texas State Fair has a contest that generates seriously strange fare. Drop in a planet or alien name/sourcing and they can serve well.

There is a North Korean variant, but it's not safe for woofplace.
Their Russian comrades were somewhat displeased when they had the contents translated.

Material like this keep getting posted, and I cannot figure out why. A ship, including a Scout, will have some form of kitchen with which to prepare meals. The MCI, or Meal Combat Individual, was intended for use while troops were in the field. The MRE, Meal Ready to Eat, is intended for troops in the field. The cost for the MCI was $23.71/box of 12 meals, as of 1 April 1981. The cost for the MRE was $48.44/box of 12 menus, as of 1 July 1982. MRE cost a lot more now. When at the base or in a semi-permanent installation, the standard Army B ration was served. The average weight of the B ration is Net weight/ration: 3.0857 pounds, Gross weight/ration: 3.639 pounds, and Gross cube/ration: 0.1173 cubic feet. The ration consists of about 100 non-perishable items, including a variety of canned meats, fruits, and vegetables, along with bread components, powdered milk, and spices. It provides about 4000 calories a day, which is a lot of calories. It does require a trained cook and water. To prepare food for 100 men requires an average of 75 gallons of water per day, with a range of 64 to 86 U.S. gallons of water. Remember that the UK gallon has about 20% more volume than the US gallon. When refrigeration is available, fresh perishables can be substituted for non-perishable items. By the way, a ration is the amount of food required by one man for a day. So 12 meals will serve 4 men.
You are not going to keep a crew or passengers by feeding them MCI or MRE rations. They will not be happy at all. Besides that, MCI and MRE rations are more expensive than feeding a B ration or the A ration, which included perishable and refrigerated components. Do you think that the US Navy is feeding its personnel onboard a ship MRE rations? Do you think the an Air Force, Army, or Marine mess hall is going to feed the personnel MRE? Get serious. Are you going to feed any passenger MRE or the equivalent?
For that matter, how do you plan on feeding any Vargr or Aslan crewmen?

Because it's humourous.
Also, outside of eggs, you can usually find a cheap option.
