Chinese Astronaut Says Space Food Tastes 'Great' Wed Oct 15,10:49 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!
BEIJING (Reuters) - China's first man in space told his wife and son Wednesday that the bite-size food he took along for his 21-hour journey around Earth tasted "great."
"Daddy, have you eaten rice yet? What did you eat?" eight-year-old Yang Ningkang asked his astronaut father in a conversation broadcast on state television.
"I've already eaten, ate space food," said Yang Liwei, 38, during his eighth orbit around Earth. "It tastes great."
Yang was to dine on specially designed packets of more than 20 kinds of family-style Chinese fare, including shredded pork with garlic sauce, spicy "kung pao" chicken and "eight treasures" rice, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Yang's meals were to be washed down with Chinese herbal tea and health boosting tonics, it said.
