Food on the bridge.

[Inactive-Shapeshifter]

So... I was remembering some TOS eps and i think i remember seeing Kirk eating on the bridge! I can't find the episode he does that, and a friend off mine is sure he does not, so, i may as well be just saying nonsense here, but if i am right... Could someone tell me the episode?

^ In many episodes, we see coffee being served on the bridge, but I can't remember anyone actually eating food while there.

See The Man Trap. Kirk eats some of those little cube thingies off of a tray.

^ You can also tell your friend that you know what those cube thingies are called: gristhera.

I think Kirk was also seen eating during a bridge scene in Charlie X, but I'm not 100% sure. it might have just been coffee.

Searching on TrekCore right now, nothing so far.

In "The Trouble With Tribbles" Kirk orders a chicken sandwich but a tribble pops out. I don't recall him eating one on the bridge.

It wasn't called that in the show, was it? Perhaps in a shooting script?

No they're not.

Kirk was munching on something in The Man Trap when he told McCoy over the viewscreen, "Take one of those blue pills you gave me last week. You'll sleep."

Kirk was going to eat a tribble on the bridge? Ewwwwwwwwwwww!

My 'food on the bridge' issue is more of a 'coffee on the bridge' issue. Whenever one of those yeoman are handing out cups to the crew, where could they possibly set them down? Sulu and Uhura, for example, are out of luck, with their slanted work stations. And the armrest of Kirk's ever-whirling chair seems pretty precarious, too.

That leaves the railings, which are sort of inconveniently out of reach, when one has to get up out of their chair every time they want to take a sip. The only real option is to hold the cup, which could be problematic if the ship suddenly goes to red alert!

On Enterprise, when Tucker wanted to add a cup holder to the Captain's chair, I thought it was a good idea! Reed certainly wasn't looking ahead to the future when he said "Just what the Captain needs during a crisis: a place to rest his beveridge". Kirk and crew certainly did!

Hey, tribbles can be tasty!

 

[Mytran]

Maybe the captain's chair has a pop-out cup holder? Those buttons on his arm rest have to control something, right?

Also remember than one of those buttons on Kirk's chair launched the pod - whatever that was.
You wouldn't want a spilled cup of coffee accidentally doing that.

They could always have a 3x3 gravity plate on angled control surfaces- anything placed on it would consider the surface to be down.

I've got to admit, that's a possibility I never considered!

Maybe that, or a patch of velcro on the bottom of the cup, with a corresponding patch on the console.
