[Humor] What does Kelpian taste like?

The Mirror Universe obviously knows something that only the Ba'aul know.

I'm guessing shellfish.

How about you?
 
The Kelpians eat flowers and a seaweed-like substance. They are lean and rangy in build. Since they are not fish and do not eat fish, I wouldn't expect them to taste "fishy".

I am going to go with a gamey taste, the younger ones being milder. Kelpians kept in captivity (as in the Mirror Universe) will have higher levels of fats and will be a more neutral flavour than the free range Kelpians on Kaminar. Post-vahar'ai Kelpians are probably too tough and gamey to make pleasant eating without a lot of preparation and cooking hence the cull.
 
With enough space spices, it can taste like anything one wants.
 
Johnny Carson once did a joke in his "Tonight Show" monologue that went something like this; "The first Kentucky Fried Chicken opened up in Australia today. The first customer took a bite of a chicken leg and said, 'Mmmmm. Tastes like rattlesnake."
 
I wonder if Ba'ul can replicate Kelpian after they make peace.

You know, in lieu of the real thing.

Like those Anticans, "HOW BARBARIC!"
 
The Mirror World knows something that relates to a broader range of knowledge or technology, perhaps related to power, control, or even intergalactic politics, but this is just my guess and it is unlikely that definite conclusions can be drawn from this information.
