what does Star Trek food taste like?

Isn't replicated food look suspiciously similar to soylent green? So it must taste like high energy plankton. Which tastes suspiciously like human. I guess.
 
I haven't really read much of the thread, but I'd assume that everything alien tastes like chicken.

It's always like that in TV, movies, cartoons, games, books and comics.

"Hmmm... tastes like chicken."
 
I imagine Batter-Fried Klingon Squid tastes alot like Batter-Fried Korean Squid, simply because that's what producers used on the set. Go Riker!

Oh, and I imagine Owon Eggs taste like ass.
 
I always wondered why the food shown in TOS was always that weird pastiche of colored blocks and stuff like that. Couldn't they take 10 minutes to whip up some real food? :p

Oh well. I have a hankering for Cardassian food, it seems:

sem'hal stew: Dinty Moore

larish pie: None Such

taspar egg: Eggs Benedict

I always wondered what Kirk's Chicken sandwich would have looked like if the Tribble hadn't come out. I am not sure I want to go near some blue or green chicken.
 
In the first season on ENT, they're constantly eating and/or drinking something. What's up with that? Watching these shows make me quite hungry. No wonder I've gained 15 pounds over the summer. I blame ENT. :p

Back in the "olden days" before MREs and microwaves... all those colored blocks were supposed to look like "future space food". It only looks silly NOW. :vulcan:
p.s.- I miss None Such/mincemeat pie... haven't had any since I found out I'm diabetic.
