Space Adventures announced yesterday that space tourist Charles Simonyi will take a gourmet meal to the ISS next month to share with the crew. The six-course meal includes quail roasted in Madrian wine, duck breast ‘confit’ with capers, shredded chicken parmentier, apple fondant pieces, rice pudding with candied fruit, and semolina cake with dried apricots. The meal was prepared by Alain Ducasse, a French chef, in cooperation with the French space agency, and was selected by Martha Stewart, who is Simonyi’s “friend”, as the press release diplomatically puts it.
