Positively Trek 274: Breaking Bread with Starfleet Officers
Food and Drink in the Star Trek Universe
Throughout its 58-year history, food and drink has played a significant role in the Star Trek universe. Food can be a cultural touchstone, from the Klingons and their gagh, bloodwine, and rokeg blood pie, to the Vulcans and their plomeek soup, and the Bajorans with their very spicy hasperat. Peace treaties can be hammered out over the dinner table. Captains can search living nebulas for coffee. And a certain Talaxian can cook for his crew in the ultimate expression of love.
In this episode of the Positively Trek podcast, hosts Barry and Dan share their thoughts on the role of food and drink in Star Trek. The discussion ranges from what the Klingons’ disgust of cooked food says about their culture, to what Janeway’s love of coffee says about her, and even talking a bit about our favorite chefs over the years. So grab a raktajino, try your best to order a hot, plain tomato soup from the replicator, and join us for a discussion that’s sure to make you hungry!
