There is an exception to that, and that is in worlds with a heavy Indian/Bangladeshi/South Asian population. Put it like this: the guys who made edible stuff out of traditional British food (the chicken balti pie is a GOD AMONGST MEN) looked at Klingon dining and took it mostly as a challenge. This isn't the kind of Heston Blumentalesque molecular gastronomy thing, either, though you do find those; rather, it's mostly street food, thick with spice and chili, the kind best eaten after many, many lagers, the kind served out the back of a van by a fat bloke in overalls. Food that actual people eat. The most common dish is probably targh tIq qul, the heart of a targ served with weapons-grade vindaloo sauce, but also of note is the fifty-second variety of qagh. This is a syncretic dish that adds a mix of crushed chilies, turmeric, ground pepper, ground cloves, crushed mustard seeds, garlic, more chilies, onions, and white vinegar to the ghevi' into which the friendly, greedy worms are plonked for eating. Some of the more high-end places also add things like turmeric, cayenne, and clove extract to the 'Iw puj (diluted blood) upon which the starved qagh feast as they are fattened for eating, though the combination of blood and spices (as ever with this sort of thing) used in dishes varies wildly from family to family. And yes, I am making all of this up. =] --- "She's old, she's lame, she's barren too, // "She's not worth feed or hay, // "But I'll give her this," - he blew smoke at me - // "She was something in her day." -- Garnet Rogers, Small Victory FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards. |
