OMG I just realized Rikasa juice is fish, isn't it? Julian mentions being able to smell it. And then in the tribbles episode that Klingon says Cardassians drink hot fish juice in the morning. And I just. Put that together. This whole time I was thinking rikasa was a Cardassian fruit, but is it actually a fish?
Garak, my love, are you drinking fish juice to calm your nerves?
Yeah I love that the Cardassian diet seems to be like. Fruit charcuterie and hot fish juice. It's so odd I love it
And meat stew! But yeah. They are omnivorous lizards, so I guess it makes sense.
I recently rewatched "Destiny" with Gilora and Ulani. Love the scene when they are like "Yeah the best part of our job is we don't have to eat Cardassian food..." 😂 I feel like the only person we definitely see enthusiastically eating it is Damar in the finale.
I think there's very little that makes me more satisfied than dear Mister Garak drinking fucking Harum first thing in the morning. How Roman of him.
The Romans drank fish juice??! No, you know, that doesn’t surprise me actually. How did they make it, do you know? I’ve been thinking about it off and on all morning.
