On a bet, would YOU try Cardassian Fish Juice for B'fast?

Define "try" and "bet".

If it's one mouthful for a million dollars, sure. If it's a Big Gulp of fish juice for 5 bucks, Pass.

 

[Tyjos Azari]

Ugh...sounds rather unappealing...

I wonder how Cardassians can stomach Fish Juice every morning like Mr. Darvin said.....

 

[AdmiralGarak]

Different culture, different tastes. Scotland's national dish is a sheep's stomach filled with organ meat, suet, and oatmeal. Hot fish juice sounds almost appealing by comparison.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Ancient Romans used garum, a sauce made of fermented fish entrails, as a condiment. So maybe it's not so bad after all. I will give it a try. On the other hand, I will give a try to almost anything.

 

[Photon]

Would YOU try Cardassian Fish Juice for B'fast for 1 Bar of GPL

or lets say 10,000 American dollars

 

[Photon]

the real question is....is it fresh squeezed or frozen concentrate?

Can it be made into a smoothie w/other vertebrae or cephalopods?
Is it true Cardassian fish or imported from a colony?

 

[Tyjos Azari]

I'd rather try a Raktijino than Cardassian Fish Juice...in fact I'd rather try Slug O Cola....

 

[Amaris]

^ I would try a Raktijino, but you're not getting me near Slug O Cola!

 

[TerokNor]

Hmm...I imagine fish juice would be quite similiar to fish soup like we have on earth. It´s hot and made of fish...so... the only strange thing is, that its for breakfast and not for lunch or dinner.
Well and I am vegetarian and don´t eat fish... however I think, if ST were real, there would be more disgusting things to try than hot Cardassian fish juice for breakfast...and even on our todays earth there are things were in comparison I´d probably rather drink Cardassian fish juice than eating that.

I've always imagined Raktijino to have a strong mocha flavor. I don't know why, but it sounds really tasty.

As for the fish juice, why not? I'm pretty sure that I've had worse (don't ask).

When the discussion turns to weird Trek foods, I'm always reminded of that scene where Riker has a Klingon buffet in front of Pulaski. She cringes in disgust, but frankly, to me, the spread looks pretty appetizing, partly because, for example, I can tell that the "strange alien tube worms" are really just Korean-styled fried calamari and therefore must taste the same. The only thing on the table that I would be iffy about is gagh, but I'm sure that there are cultures on Earth that would happily try it out.

 

[Lonemagpie]

My wife would, but I'd stick to raktajino, double strong double sweet, double cream.

And of course the slices of dead pig, tubes of minced offal, and aborted chicken ovulations

HOW DARE YOU SERVE ME HAGGIS WITHOUT CHUTNEY?!


I'd probably try it, as long as Neelix had no hand in preparing it.

I think of that Scene too! Ugh! But still I guess if you really wanted to expand your own experiences that'd be the best way to do it....I doubt Quark would serve Fish Juice [maybe he does to Garak]

Why does your answer remind me of the ancient joke pickup line...

M - Would you go to bed with me for a million dollars?
F - For a million? Yes, I suppose.
M -Would you go to bed with me for 5 dollars?
F - No! What do you think I am?!
M -We've already established that, now we're haggling the price.

Which begs another important question-- For a million dollars, would you sleep with somebody whose breath smells like fish juice?

I wonder if the fish juice is clear or creamy - if you think of it like she crab soup broth, then it must be really tasty. This makes me wonder about other Cardassian foods and drinks, like kanar - it seems to change colors and textures. Garak orders a glass at Quarks and it looks like grapefruit juice - but the stuff Damar drinks is thick and golden brown.

If Cardassians drink fish juice, then it would make sense that there are lots of fish on Cardassia Prime. That planet is supposed to be really hot. Is it really hot and moist too, with lots of bodies of water?

 

[JRS]

Not without sugar...

 

[Mary Ann]

I've always thought of fish juice as fish broth, so I reckon it's not that bad. On the other hand, if fish juice is "freshly squeezed", I won't go anywhere near it.

 

[AdmiralGarak]

kanar - it seems to change colors and textures.

That's true of most drinks.

It makes sense that Garak and Damar would drink different types of kanar. One is worldly, looking for a drink to compliment a stimulating dinner converstation. The other is a self-loathing alcoholic who wants to get drunk cheaply and quickly.
