poo poo no, but it'd be a close race between their mad science and engineering's mad science on who almost blows up people/the ship/the universe more. That's not even going into the Prime Directive, or as a friend once described it upon finishing her first watch through of TNG; the explorers version of prohibition. Someone should totally keep a tally next time they watch the various series of which department fucks everything up more.

Hrm, let's see...I want to be a warlord judge here in the post-nuclear world. First thing I need is some weirdo robes and the second is a cherry picker to ride around on. That'll make them fear me. If that doesn't, I always have my carpet sample soldiers.

Do you think the sycophants and guards and such are Q as well? Are they illusions? Is he actually time travelling and using people and locations that existed? Did he create new life just to gently caress with people and then extinguish them when they were no longer needed?

DAMAR AND KANAR STORY Kanar on set was actually just pure corn syrup. Casey Biggs would do take after take actually drinking the stuff. He ended up getting all hosed up on too much sugar and getting really squirrely and not feeling well so eventually they found another way to make Kanar that wasn't just pure corn syrup.

Well, a couple different versions of Kanar show up. Early on it's this pale orange-pink stuff, I've never seen anyone say what they used for that. But the later blackish poo poo was straight up Karo Dark Corn Syrup. And yeah, that probably hosed him up pretty bad guy.

Yeah we just caught an episode where he throws his glass against a mirror and it's super syrupy. But if you go back and watch an episode where Quark is serving to Garak (same scene where he tries root beer), it's neon blue like romulan ale/every other space drink.

Memory alpha says it's likely that "high-quality" kanar is thick and syrupy while low-quality or spoiled kanar is more liquidy.

Ehh, makes more sense to me that kanar is just the Cardassian version of beer or wine. There's a ton of different styles and most are equally legit. What are people's thoughts on yamok sauce? I'm not sure we ever saw it in the show, but I always imagined it like a bitter, sour curry sauce.

I always felt Kanar tasted like jager as someone said. Sometimes Kanar looked like thick syrup, which I'd think would not make a satisfying drink. Like trying to drink cold hot fudge.

I always figured that Kanar was a reference to Cynar, which is one of the worst tasting and most bitter liqueurs I have had.

And then there's hasperat. Various attempts at making it I've seen people try always seem to be some kind of cucumber slice burrito with insanely hot sauce on it.

It's gotta be one of those cultural dishes that people still insist on eating even though it's terrible but you can't stop because it's so wrapped up in tradition. Like fruitcakes or chili without beans.

Taste-wise I've never had a strong idea, but I've always had this sense that, given the description of the unit as "wrappings", I pictured a thick sauce generally served saturated in an edible paper of some sort. Like, you could order X, but if you ordered X with a yamok-saturated wrap around it, it was even better. I've no idea why, but Cardassians don't strike me as a "just drizzle this stuff on whatever" people. It has to be part of the foods architecture, so to speak.

Like fruitcakes or chili without beans. Fruitcakes are delicious if you make them right. Problem is lots of people only make them like once a year and are working off lovely recipes that are way too sweet and filled with maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows, and similar bullshit. People often take this baffling "more is more" approach to seasonal treats where they throw in ten different kinds of dried fruit and nuts and loving candy because that makes it "more special" but that's not really how baking works, so all they wind up doing is making this horrible soggy mess of contrasting flavors and weird colors that people feel compelled to force down because it would be rude to refuse something someone worked so hard on. Just make a normal sweetbread/cake and put some raisins/currants and maybe some dried apricot and chopped walnut in there. It's good. You can stop there. You can also use prunes/dried cherries/apple or whatever. Just don't try to fit everything in and be sure to avoid anything that comes in a syrup or has "candied" in its name so that normal, non-prediabetics will be able to enjoy it and no one will be left asking why their tongue turned green. Chili without beans is weird to me though, where is that common? Data Graham posted:And then there's hasperat. I know Hasperat is literally just those tortilla wraps people serve as finger food at parties (at least that's what the prop was), but the mention of brine and the existence of "hasperat souffle" makes me picture it as one of those simple but challenging regional dishes that people associate with good home cooking. The whole conversation Ro has where the guy complains that no one makes it as spicy as the stuff he grew up with made me think of chili, or kimchi, or similar food where every family has their own special recipe and the store bought/replicated stuff just isn't the same. I always pictured Hasperat as being slightly fermented flatbread with a tangy flavor like sourdough or injera and plenty of spice. MisterBibs posted:Taste-wise I've never had a strong idea, but I've always had this sense that, given the description of the unit as "wrappings", I pictured a thick sauce generally served saturated in an edible paper of some sort. I don't know, I got the impression Cardassians put yamok sauce on just about everything. Garak and even Dukat seem to be a bit adventurous by Cardassian standards, but still didn't have particularly broad tastes. Cardassians as a whole (at least the soldiers we mostly saw) were conformist and not particularly cosmopolitan, so I wouldn't be surprised if their civilization was basically the equivalent of those guys who put ketchup on everything. Iirc, there's one seen where one of the Cardassians (Damar maybe?) doesn't like his food and demands more yamok sauce, which makes me think it's basically Cardassian hot sauce.

The other thing about fruitcake is, if you add rum cake preparation they're super awesome. My grandma made a rummy fruitcake that I'm pretty sure was a fire hazard.
