Ferengi CuisineIn the fictional Star Trek universe, the cuisine of the Ferengi has achieved little acceptance among other cultures, with a few notable exceptions. Ferengi invented the alcohol substitute synthehol, and the drink "black hole" is popular among some non-Ferengi. Outside of Ferenginar, many Ferengi enjoy the food of other cultures in addition to traditional Ferengi cuisine, and have integrated it into their menus. However, most Ferengi have a particular distaste for human food. An important component of Ferengi cooking appears to be insects and other small invertebrates. Some, such as tube grubs, are nearly always served alive (compare to the Klingon dish gagh), while others are served jellied or in a juice form. The Ferengi language has no word for "crisp". Traditionally, Ferengi women soften food for members of their family by chewing it. Ferengi dishes: - Black hole - an alcoholic drink with an opaque black color and a pungent odor.
- Chew grubs
- Eelwasser - brand name of a popular beverage. (The name suggests an eel flavored beverage)
- Ferengi spore pie
- Flaked blood fleas - a delicacy
- Gree worms (also known as razor toothed gree worms) - served jellied, or still alive. It is noted that, although succulent, gree worms sometimes bite back.
- Lokar beans - traditional Ferengi dish, although occasionally served as bar food.
- Millipede juice
- Puree of beetle
- Slug liver - served raw as a breakfast food
- Slug steak
- Snail juice
- Tube grubs - usually eaten alive, though also available preserved. Served chilled.
