A special kind of kimchi has been cleared for a space mission this year.
The bacteria-free kimchi will blast off along with Korea's first astronaut. Top Korean scientists developed the kimchi. It was approved by Russian space authorities.
Instant noodles and cinnamon tea have also been approved for the mission due in April. The foods were all developed by the state-run food research body.

Kimchi usually contains bacteria which is healthy. But the bacteria becomes stronger in space and can be dangerous.
The state food research body is also developing other Korean foods for space crews.
The South Korean government has selected Ko San as the country's first astronaut. Ko is a 30-year-old computer science engineer. He'll travel into space on a Russian-made Soyuz rocket on April 8.
Ko will fly to the International Space Station. He'll stay there for up to eight days.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AFP)
一種特製的泡菜確定今年將可隨太空任務升空。
這種無菌的泡菜將跟著韓國第一位太空人升空,這種泡菜由韓國頂尖的科學家研發而成,並經俄國太空總署核准。
泡麵和肉桂茶也通過核准,將一同在四月的任務中登上太空,這些食物都是由南韓食品研究所製造。
泡菜中通常含有益菌,但是細菌的毒性在外太空會增強並可能造成危害。
南韓食品研究所也為太空組員研發了其它韓國食品。
南韓政府選了高山(音譯)成為該國首位太空人,高今年三十歲,是一位電腦工程師,他將在四月八日搭乘俄國製「Soyuz號」太空船升空。
高將先搭機飛往國際太空站,最多在那裡待上八天。

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice.

Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
