BEIJING, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) — Foreign athletes famished for Chinese food may find their appetites are not satisfied in the Olympic Village during next year’s Games, according to a menu distributed by the organizer.

“Asian-style food including Chinese, Japanese and Korean dishes would together account for 30 percent of the menu designed for athletes in the Olympic Village,” said Xiang Ping, deputy director in charge of the Games Service Department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG).

She said that a preliminary menu had been drawn up and sent for expert appraisal, with results expected next month. “Western food will comprise most of the menu,” she said.

Presumably the “foriegn athletes famished for Chinese food” will be able to find some other source of Chinese food while in Beijing. I’ve heard there’s a lot of it, if you know where to look.

    I’m sure they must find the food are ok during the Olypic. At least the menu must have been approved by so many experts, and they must have so many kind of food to choose from
