Space Kimchee!


(image via nytimes)

There's a great piece in the NY Times about South Korea’s first astronaut, Ko San, who will be bringing with him a cache of his beloved national dish: Kimchee.

You'd think: Simple, put it in a little squeezy bag and off you go.
Nope.
Millions of dollars and months of research were spent preparing Space Kimchee, a still delicious, but less pungent smelling and bacteria free version, specially designed not to offend his fellow space travellers.

Great read: Space Kimchee
