Sid is upset because the food printer is down so the crew and few passengers need to eat a dense nutritious bar rations till they get to the space station for repairs. Three times a day, the taste is to be desired because it tastes very... fake.
Emergency food bars for lifeboats and survival kits are deliberately made to taste bland and boring. Partly so folks with diet sensitivities can eat them, and so people don't eat them in nonemergency situations for snacks.
