A colony like that? They literally have more "natural" ecosystem than people. It's a terrarium with occasion access to outside resources (and with Gundam universe, Earth). So pretty much anything they want to sustainably farm, fish; and possibly even hunt if they, and I'm sure they did, plan it all out.

Any pressure below atmospheric pressure is a vacuum.
That said at full earth normal pressure you only have about 14psi (101kPa) of pressure pushing out. Now over a large body that's more than enough to destroy even hardened buildings. But when it's just a small hole it's not that much force, literally 14 pounds over an area of a square inch.

It's good space opera. Lots of stuff about really fucking huge ships tossing antimatter at eachother, but at the same time usually grounded very nicely into a few main characters. And always with a slightly self-ironic thread of humour running through it.
State of the Art is a collection of short stories, not all of them in the Culture setting. Probably a good place to start.

At the very least you owe it to yourself to read Odd Attachment.

Won't all meats take on a different flavor profile as well, then? Of course vegetables will taste completely different. Presumably water would be different enough as well to affect anything it is used in. Space bagels to rival nyc?

this is the most terrifying aspect of life in space for me.
In Leo Frankowskis's "a boy & his tank" the protag is essentially a slave on the mining asteroid he was born on.
His clothes are made of paper, he throws away his dirty clothes at night & he gets a new set in the mail every morning with his breakfast, typical nutrient sludge. He is charged for everything; food, water, air, light, space & even off time.
His only escape was joining the military which becomes even more terrifying, I won't spoil it.

In "The Gods Themselves" people live on the moon and they eat like nutritional algae, a guy from Earth goes to live with the "Lunies" and they all balk at the thought of the gristle and fat on a steak so, in space I imagine food will be purely utilitarian. When the first generation is born in space and raised on space algae nutri-goo they'll probably regard Earth food as barbarous.

Most vegetables we eat already are modified so much they will taste the same no matter where they grow. It's goodbye to delicious seasonal vegetables and to good wines because of how much they rely on natural conditions. Most animals we eat never see the light of day so they won't be affected. Free range animals should be fine as well but they will be much much more expensive since land will be more expensive.
