If you have a favourite tasty Canadian treat, astronaut Chris Hadfield wants to hear from you.

Hadfield will be going to the International Space Station in 2012 for six months, and he's asking for suggestions of "typical Canadian food" to take with him to share with the other astronauts.

"While there, if you do the math, I'll eat more than 500 meals and something like 300 snacks," Hadfield said in a message on the Canadian Space Agency website, where people can go to suggest their snacks.

"Just like on Earth, we share meals to come together," he said. "Help me bring some of my home with me to space."

Hostess ketchup chips. Potential ensuing destruction of any ant farms will be well worth it...
