Food and drink of Star Trek

[EnriqueH]

Hm, I wonder what those multicolored cubes from TOS taste like. I also wonder what they are actually made out of, recycled .. something?

To me they seem like those weird vegetable/fish jell-o dishes they apparently experimented with in the 50s.

IT'S PEOPLE!!!!!

Anyway, Romulan Ale, predictably, was the first thing to come to my mind.

I kind of do wonder about the coffee they serve during the TOS.

I wonder if it's a Kona blend or maybe it's just plain, old, 23rd Century Taster's Choice.

I might regret it, but I really want to see just how spicy hasperat really is.

Hasperat!

I, and 'friends', have done this a bunch of times. 'Friends' go with layered tortilla roll-up. Not spicy.

I go with SPICY hot Chipotle's burrito for my version because the Trek pics look closer to the fat two-handed stuffed Chipotle.

To hear the Bajorans talk about hasperat I would guess about three to four times as SPICY hot as my version. Maybe twice as spicy as a straight habañero. ?? Maybe give a habañero a bite?

How about ghost peppers?

It seems like home-made hasperat should have different ingredients than a burrito. What would be different enough from the norm to seem "alien" or "exotic?"

A large mushroom and pepperoni pizza with extra onions.

And a Michelob.

Sounds so nice ... he said it twice.

I'd like to try a kaferian apple again. I always favored those.

All the kinds of chocolate Troi was going on about.

Aldebran Whiskey "It's Green!"
Saurian Brandy (Best to drink after transporter accidents)
Romulan Ale (Kirk: It's a great memory restorative. McCoy: Oh? Kirk: It made me remember why I never drink it!....(from the novel of Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan)

I always wanted to try a jumja stick, or however you spell it. Extras always carried them around and once either Dax or Kira actually eats a bite of one on camera.

Apparently, in-universe, that stuff (called gristhera, an Andorian invention) is popular with pretty much every alien race in Trek, humans included. So that's why you always see it at diplomatic functions, like in 'Journey to Babel.' Don't know what the actual onscreen 'prop' food is made out of, though...I assume it IS food, since we see the actors actually eating it.

Those cubes always looked like chopped melons to me (Honeydew, watermelon, cantelope, maybe some pineapple), though I also understood them to be much more than mere fruit (like actual meals and entrees) in-universe.

Kirk: Make it two.
