What do we know about romulan cuisine and dishes?

Yes, if the fauna is supposed to matter. But any random meat would appear to do, at least when Spock goes carnivore (is that just his human half eating, even when all of his blood is green?). And if species across the galaxy can interbreed with minimal prompting, them eating each other wouldn't appear to be a credible problem.

I guess there could be a pill for both: if Klingons want to eat the heart of an incompatible enemy, and don't want to heroically die of tummy ache, they pop that pill, and then another to breed with the widow. But the food issue never arises, and the procreation one seems like something to be shrugged off even in fairy primitive conditions.

Lobster. Crustaceans have copper based blood. So if you waht an idea what that tastes like, grab a lobster or crab.

As Romulus is a settled world I would expect a mixed flora and fauna. What is native, and what they brought with them.

Could just be the soup-stall lady was a crap cook but no-one complained because her son was Tal Shiar...

We also get a mention of osol twists in DS9, a type of Romulan dessert similar to a ice lolly but, unlike the Bajoran jumja stick (which Cretak didn't seem to mind being sweet) is "very tart".

Remember reading in Jeri Taylor's novelization of "Unification", which was great imo, that Picard's disgust for the soup had something to do with the ingredients.

That's why i wonder so much about this, especially as Picard didn't seem to have any bias against certain klingon dishes...
