   “It tastes like burnt hair and mango chutney.”

   That’s the other half of the reason tribbles are so ecologically successful… they taste so awful that even a starving raccoon won’t eat them.

   It could have turned out much worse. She could have declared your fashion sense to be unpaletteable.

   To a king, ostentatious is the point!

   Beam us up… directly into a level 5 containment field in Sick Bay, where we can expect to undergo 14 days of complete isolation. And, since the ship is dealing with another bout of tribbles-in-the-food-synthesizers, all we’ll have to eat for those 14 days is a crate of war-surplus Romulan combat rations.

   If I’m reading the tombstone correctly, “1990 – 2020” so her dad died at the age of 30. Wouldn’t that make her too young to marry legally?

   I would have expected a different plant entirely: Typha schrödingeri.

   Exactly. Gagh and racht are Klingon foods; the closest Earth equivalent would be earthworms. They are a delicacy best eaten fresh (actively squirming) and one character commented that “nothing’s worse than half-dead racht.”

    We had the same rule when I was growing up… enforced but honored if we truly didn’t like what was offered.

    I think it’s a good approach… my brothers and I ended up with fairly eclectic tastes in food. Toasted crickets? Sure, bring them on (had them as a bar snack in Laos).

    I haven’t, however, yet had to try gagh or racht, so I don’t know how I’d do with such exotics.
