Food from "Star Trek" you wish was real, so you could try it

[Kor]

Ashamed to say... I haven't watched the last season of Disco, so I don't know what's going on here.

As a side note, apparently the Hasperat dishes created by the prop department were flour tortillas filled with cream cheese, green and red peppers, rolled and sliced. I wonder what they might be made from in-universe though.

Right I forgot those Hasperat things, I'd totally try them (even though I'm not all that good with overly spicy food)
I always assumed they were made with spices and would taste similar to a hot curry wrap, but according to Memory Alpha they are (in universe) prepared with some sort of brine...so they are very salty?

Since replicated meat was never alive and doesn't require the slaughter of animals to produce, would all replicated food count as vegan even if it's meat? Hell, you could replicate your own flesh and literally serve yourself for dinner, with no negative ramifications whatsoever. That's an interesting thought.

I dunno, I'd at least expect to have some unpleasant dreams after trying a bite of my own arm. Or heck, even just seeing it.

I could certainly go for the fudge cake, because, well, fudge, need I say more?

I'm also a big fan of spicy food, so I could really go for a traditional Bajoran hasperat.

Well, if you really want to know...

Replicated meat wouldn't count as vegan because vegan usually means that a meal is not animal based at all.
Animal protein and products as such are badly digested in our guts which leads to colonization of bad bacteria in the intensines (higher production of acidic bile in the guts), leading to inflammation and can cause all sorts of issues down the line (cancer, dementia, cardiovascular diseases, shorter health span and lifespan, etc.).
This is one of the reasons I won't touch meat even if its grown without animal slaughter... its obviously better for the environment with no impact on the animals, but still has negative consequences for human health overall - and besides, even now, there are vegan replacements on the market with same taste and texture as the animal based stuff... so, really no point to consuming animal products again.

Oh, I don't know, I'll probably have an occasional lab grown steak or similar. It's been around forty years since I had one.

There's absolutely no point using lab meat in burgers, sausage or anything processed to takeaway it's texture as there's already great plant based versions. texture

Meat is fairly easy to copy when it's ground up into baby food and made into nice shapes !

Anyhow, when I saw the thread, I could only think of Gagh and Hasperat.

Still no Hasperat option ?

Where's plomeek soup in this list? I'd try that, although I know it's not supposed to be delicious For some reason I always imagine miso.
(Also, completely unrelated, I'd try the blue jelly from Stargate and the Pangalactic Gurgleblaster.)

I don't know, plomeek sounds like seaweed to me.

Not that there's anything wrong with seaweed, it is just not to my taste.

I love seaweed.

I love seaweed.

Wrapped around rice and raw fish…

I'm meat free, but still have options !

 

[Kor]

Vulcan doesn't have any oceans. I don't think that the environment, growing conditions etc., of a non-oceanic plant would lead to something that tastes like seaweed.
I always imagined plomeek as something like bok choy. I'm not sure how I formed that notion, though.

Anyone read the Klingon story ("The Unhappy Ones") in Seven Deadly Sins? There's a scene where Kor, Koloth and Kang eat dinner, and the description of the Klingon food and drink just makes me so DAMN hungry every time I read it.

As disgusting as Klingon food is sometimes made out to be, I can't shake the feeling that it could actually be...delicious! I mean, if Helena Rozhenko could learn how to make it, it can't be all bad, right?

Could you provide some examples of Klingon Cuisine from that story?

 

[Kor]

Oh, I'm willing to bet it tastes NASTY. I mean, look at the face Kirk makes when he takes a sip in TWOK. That face lasts at least five seconds, and I'm sure James T. Kirk has had a LOT of various drinks over the years.

Then again, Bones seemed to like it, but he's from the deep south and probably drinks moonshine, too.

The Romulan ale that gets exported probably isn't as good as the stuff for domestic consumption.

ST: Lower Decks revealed the existence of the apparently related beverage Romulan whiskey, which is also blue in color, and is described as "awesome" by one of the Starfleet humans. Grains on Romulus apparently yield a blue color, just as grains used in Earth ales and whisk(e)ys yield various shades of brown depending on level of roast, etc. Maybe the pale blue stuff we see in TWOK and TUC, and the kali-fal in DS9 "In the Pale Moonlight," are equivalent to pale ales, while the darker stuff that the Romulan commander pours in "The Enterprise Incident" is equivalent to a porter.

One time when Creation was soliciting panels for a convention, I pitched Billingsley on a tasting panel of all the alcoholic drinks shown on Star Trek.

Basically him and I just getting drunk on stage and riffing.

He dared me to submit it, but I chickened out…

Kor

That logic only works if the TWOK ale was pale blue, but if you look at screencaps it is just as dark as what the Romulan commander had.
Trust me, I've spent years studying the differing shades of Romulan Ale color just to find the right Earth ingrediants to make a real-life substitute. LOL

EDIT: You are correct about the TUC and kali-fal being pale blue. I didn't want to insinuate that those weren't pale, just that the TWOK ale was darker.

Is Bolian tonic water safe for humans?

Well, they never quite learned how to eat it...
