There’s a few for me. Yamok sauce. Various synthohols. The desserts Troi’s always eating (or being). But most especially gagh. I wouldn’t let the fact it’s some kind of living worm distract me from the way all the cool people describe it. If Riker likes it, I think I would too and I certainly wouldn’t want to look like a p’taQ in front of Riker.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Sure, I could have the 21st century natural version right now, but I want to compare and contrast the kind made from reconstituted waste products.
That is also something I wonder about. Most people don’t seem to care if it’s real or replicated, but the people who do care, are very adamant about something being different in replicated food.
I doubt I would notice. I mean, I don’t find processed food disgusting compared to fresh all natural stuff. I’ll pretty much eat anything other than broccoli and cauliflower. 🤷🏻♂️

So it’s curious to think how the current plum and pune has faired all the way out to Worf glass.
