GASTRONAUT
Astronaut Patrick Baudry, the first Frenchman to ride aboard a U.S. spacecraft, was disappointed in NASA's menu for space, so his space meals included crab mousse, rabbit stew and lobster in a cream sauce — prepared in France, canned and shipped to Johnson Space Center. Baudry also tried unsuccessfully to bring wine on the mission.
— Michael Hirsley, "Let's ring out the old year on a dubious note," Chicago Tribune, December 29, 1985
Notes:
