What do aliens taste like?

[apenpaap]

Also a Cardassian would taste just awful, all those neck muscles and though leathery skin...yuck

Actually, meat is muscles, so those neck-muscles wouldn't be muchh of a problem. As for the skin: a cow's skin doesn't look very appetizing either, but I have never found it on my meat.

I think you would get assimilated by the nanoprobes if you tried to eat Borg.

Ha ha, I got this image of Alton Brown standing by his chalkboard with a map of the galaxy drawn on it saying, "Andorians come from the planet Andoria, here. The meat is best kept frozen, even up to when it is served, since Andoria itself is a frozen world. Most of the cheap processed stuff you find at your local mega-mart is kept cold, but still far too warm to retain the proper flavor. But preserve the meat just right and it's..." *cue "Good Eats" theme music*

And when it comes back from the theme music he's got little blue hand puppets with antennae talking about the chemical makeup of Andorian meat.



Okay fine, I watch too much Food Network.

I could go for some fried Cardassian liver with a double Cardassian sunrise.

If I cook a Cardassian what would he/she taste like? Wife said lizard or snake. Opinions?

That got me wondering... how do you cook a Joined Trill? And do Betazoids taste exactly like Humans or would you be able to tell a difference in a blind taste-test?

We do not eat our aliens, Plecostomus. They are our brothers and sisters, our fellow sentients. We can learn much from them, and should treat them with respect. Diplomatic overtures would be complicated if we tried to eat them.

That said....

Cardassians appear to be reptilian-mammalian, something with characteristics of both, not fully in either category. My suggestion, then: tastes like cynodont.

Vulcans, Romulans and Rigelians are coppery. Andorians and Bolians are cobalty. Betazoids taste much like we do. Trills are best roasted, but symbionts can be preserved in tequila and used to flavour the hooch.

You've...given this a lot of thought.

A lot of well played, troubling thought...

Klingons would taste like a greasy steak

This question must be contemplated seriously and in depth. Have a Tellarite gammon slice in apple sauce, sit down, and think it through

Because one smiley is just not enough!

But you forgot one part of the Very Special Episode of Good Eats - the part where Alton explains the different cuts of meat. He'd have this fluffy full-sized model of an Andorian, and he'd open it up and show us where the loin comes from, etc., etc., etc.

Or maybe you didn't forget, you're just not crass enough to point this out?

 

[apenpaap]

I think people would have a hard time eating most aliens, as most of them have rather strange coloured flesh: Vulcans and Romulans have green flesh (isn't the first rule of hygiene "NEVER eat green meat"?), Andorians have blue flesh, Klingons pinkish flesh...

 

[Islander]

The real question is if Tholians are spicy?

 

[apenpaap]

^A problem with eating Tholians would be that they explode below a hundred degrees. So you'd have to eat them in a sauna. Fried grasshopper is pretty spicy, so I think Tholians may be too.

 

[Starbreaker]

They'd taste like chicken.

Chicken with bumps on their foreheads.

Expected Joke x 100. Awesome

Is that canon?

Klingon flesh is only pinkish if you cook it with exploded Praxis. Otherwise, it's a very dark, almost black red.

I thought the episode said the just died, they couldn't handle to cold and slowed down till they stopped working.

 

[apenpaap]

^That's what they said, but the Tholian exploded.

Whatever they taste like they would be more palatable with some fava beans and a nice chianti

Seeing this thread on the main page pulled me into an actual Trek forum for the first time in years.

Well done.

Well, it's certainly one of the more original ones
