John Glenn (born 1930) was the first US astronaut to orbit the Earth, making three orbits in a 5-hour spaceflight on February 20, 1962. To see if man could eat in space, he chewed on malt tablets and ate applesauce from a sealed tube. He reported that swallowing food in space was no different than on Earth.
(Three years later, during food tests on the two-man Gemini 3, pilot John Young sneaked a corned beef sandwich aboard the spacecraft. But when Gus Grissom tried to eat it, it fell apart.)
