當你想象宇航員們在太空中吃飯的場景時，你的腦海中可能不會浮現出像龍蝦、鱈魚和鵝肝這類美食的畫面，但是這些正是法國下一位國際空間站（International Space Station）訪客將要享用的佳肴。
Most of the food on the space station is standard packaged fare, full of goodness, no doubt, but lacking that culinary je ne sais quoi which any self-respecting French astronaut so badly needs. But astronauts can bring with them a certain quantity of their own food.
國際空間站上的大部分食物都是標準的預包裝食品，毫無疑問，營養豐富，但是缺少那種讓人回味無窮的美食風味，這是任何一位體面的法國宇航員都迫切需要的。不過，宇航員們可以攜帶一定數量的自備食物。
And so, Sophie Adenot has teamed up with the multi-Michelin-starred Anne-Sophie Pic to draw up a list of items to help her through those long, dawnless days in weight-free orbit.
因此，宇航員索菲·阿德諾特與多次獲得米其林星級的名廚安妮·索菲·皮克聯手，精心制定瞭一份美食菜單，來幫助她自己度過那些在失重的太空軌道中漫長而無晨昏的日子。
One day over the Atlantic, it could be chicken with Malagasy wild pepper, tonka beans and a creamy polenta. The next day, over the Pacific, pulled beef with black garlic and smoked vanilla. And for dessert – how about a chocolate cream with crushed hazelnut?
也許在某天飛越大西洋時，她的餐盤裡是雞肉配馬達加斯加野胡椒、零陵香豆和奶油玉米糊。在第二天，飛越太平洋時，可能吃的就是黑蒜熏香草手撕牛肉。至於甜點的話，來一份榛子碎巧克力奶油蛋糕怎麼樣？
Sophie Adenot says she will share the haute cuisine with her colleagues on board. It is, after all, an important moment. French gastronomic culture becoming, for the first time, extraterrestrial.
索菲·阿德諾特表示，她會將這些高級菜肴與空間站上的同事們一同分享。畢竟，這是一個重要的時刻，法國的美食文化首次 “走出地球”。
