I don’t know why but I am obsessed with this episode, well this scene in particular. Watching Commander Riker eat Klingon food is a strange obsession, so strange that for a while I would flip back to this episode just to watch this segment while eating dinner. My wife is not a fan but she probably thinks I’m bananas. Does anybody else feel this way about this or any other particular scene or episode? Also, love the podcast!

Edited: I also love it when Worf is approaching Riker in the corridor with the transmitter with the omnidirectional signal. Riker looks like he’s walking off all that food he just ate by watching his stride. Then when he gets to the Klingon vessel he’s forced to eat more. Lol

I have the exact same obsession but with worf eating the Klingon food in genesis

 

[Leonidas]

For me it just doesn’t seem right that a human eats Klingon food
Just imagine you had to eat this

 

[Leonidas]

For me it doesn’t seem right that a human eat Klingon food. Just images you had to eat this.

No punishment - today. ;-)

Considering the amazing variety of foods that are traditionally eaten right here on Earth (including plenty of raw, and sometimes living, animal proteins), I always thought it was kind of weird that they portrayed Klingon food as somehow so bizarre and different from human food.

The Klingon food looked worth trying, atleast to savor all those varieties of texture. I would have passed on the serpent worms though.

It's stuff like this was why I loved Star Trek: The Next Generation; they explored everything that seemed new for viewers and went THERE. I thought seasons 1 and 2 were pioneering; you can give fan service but also spread it's wings a little so it's not giving the impression they're rewriting what we know but expanding on them.

I'm glad he was familiarizing himself with Klingon Cuisine, before going onto a Klingon ship. Now that's a sign of respecting a culture.

When I was younger I used to think Klingon food liked quite tasty, not so much these days though.

I remember having a giant plate of food (when I was about 12) and copying that scene.

I always wondered about the klingon food in "Heart of Glory". It looked really tasty and a lot like something many humans could like. What was so special about it, that Worf, Korris and Konmell would it eat it to celebrate their meeting? And why was it never shown or mentioned again?

Riker handled eating Klingon food a LOT better than Kurn eating Human food. What a wuss.

First season episode so they probably had to cobble that together with whatever shit they could find on the set. That's why you never saw that again. (Joking but that's as plausible an explanation as anything)

That's the most likely reason. Has anyone some in-universe theories about that stuff, what it is? If we go by the context of that episode, it might be a renowned klingon delicacy. Do you think humans might like it?

That was a reason why I always respected Riker, and Frakes. Both men were always pretty much up for anything... that says a lot about the person.

Check out some of the foods featured on Andrew Zimmern's show.
I always thought it was a somewhat problematic example of "othering" to present such things as being "bizarre" customs for outsiders to gawk at, when they are just part of the normal routine of the region he is visiting. But if it helps his target audience expand their horizons, start thinking outside their own limited preconceived notions, and be more open to different cultural mores, then I guess it's a better starting point than none at all.

But I digress.
