'Haute Cuisine' on Mars

Roland Piquepaille writes "If you're lucky enough to be a crew member of one of the next European Space Agency (ESA) long-term missions, you will have the choice between eleven new delicious recipes, such as 'martian bread and green tomato jam' or 'potato and tomato mille-feuilles' when it's time for dinner. In 'Ready for dinner on Mars?,' ESA says that these recipes will use fresh ingredients grown in greenhouses built on Mars colonies or other planets. The future astronauts -- should I write 'farmonauts'? -- will grow potatoes, onions, rice, soya or lettuce. And it's interesting to note that the new menus were elaborated with the help of Alain Ducasse, the French chef who has almost as many stars in the 'Guide Michelin' as there are planets in our Solar system. This overview contains more details and references about eating in space."

    Actually, sir or madam, it is you that are the moron, along with all the other responses to my original post bleating about how I shouldn't dislike the French.

    Go back and reread my original post carefully, genius. See the smiley face at the end? I put that in there specifically so brain-dead idiots like yourself could connect the dots and see that I intended the post as a joke.

    Now this post...this is flamebait. Notice how there's no smiley at the end of this one? That's because I'm serious when I express my fervent hope that a freak microwave accident sterilizes you so we don't have to put up with any more of your deficient genes in the gene pool.
