ACK!
I think I'd rather contemplate Neelix's darvot fritters... although to be honest I doubt I could eat anything that turned a "deep chartruse" when it was done.
What color IS chartruse, anyway?
Hmmmm, fritters the color of "not yellow, not green" crayons do not excite me too much. 
Now... a jimbalian fudge cake sounds delicious even though its blue.

Why is there no blue food? I can't find blue food - I can't find the flavor of blue! I mean, green is lime; yellow is lemon; orange is orange; red is cherry; what's blue? There's no blue! Oh, they say, "Blueberries!" Uh-uh; blue on the vine, purple on the plate. There's no blue food! Where is the blue food? We want the blue food! Probably instores immortality! They're keeping it from us!

Blue is a flavour in australia.
Raspberry-ish, though also with a kind of perfumey note. We have a milkshake flavour called blue heaven.
There's a stout called Courage I've been meaning to try..
True, and then of course in the pilot there was Tom's plain, hot tomato soup!
Or Seska's Mushroom soup that she used to seduce Chakotay.

I will remember you saying that when I hug him in Boston this summer.

Look at this utterly pathetic meal Neelix has made, supposed to be a special occasion as I recall (The Void):
Puff pastry with a dead bird plonked into it, single carrot, baby squash, drizzle and dirt. I would have made a fab little stir fry with all that, minus the waste of replicator space puff pastry abomination.
For some reason, this put me immediately in mind of the chief inspector in Hitchcock's Frenzy who had to deal with the consequences of his wife's Continental cooking lessons.
Such as the following:

Neelix worthy?
aaaahahaha that was awesome Drone and I think that is exactly how Neelix approached cooking for big events!
At the same time, I do think it was meaningful to him that the crew found his work product satisfying, at least to some degree on their own terms and expectations. I believe there were a number of instances when he incorporated suggestions and requests from folks for dishes from home, even if they didn't meet his own definition of "haute cuisine".
By the way, I can't recall, but was he demonstrably jealous of Seven's efforts at setting and provisioning a fine table, complete with her wine directives?
