Kaga: Greetings, my Klingon Brothers and Sisters! I am Kaga, Klingon Chef and aspiring Klingon Brewmaster. Food is my passion, and many glorious battles have I fought in the pursuit of Klingon culinary advancement! I have grown dismayed, however, with the availability of true Klingon recipes on this world's. K'tesh, is, of course, THE authority on recreating Klingon cuisine with Earth ingredients, but I feel he sometimes either sacrifices authenticity for the sake of catering to "civilized" human palates, or goes to the other extreme and proposes recipes that resemble Klingon dishes but are inedible by human standards. In my cooking, I propose to find a balance.
(The only other source for Klingon recipes geared towards this planet is the cookbook belonging to that petaQ, Neelix. Some of his recipes have merit, such as his replicas of gagh or racht, but others... a Heart of Targ recipe consisting of tomato bruschette? I ought to gut him like the Ha'DIbaH he is and show him how a real Klingon prepares Talaxian Stew...)

Kaga: When it comes to gagh, there ARE recipes calling for live mealworms or super meal worms in sauce that I've seen. I wouldn't be opposed to trying them, but as mealworms clearly aren't serpent-worms, and I can think of no other decent Earth substitutes for them, I think I'll go with K'tesh's solution to the problem and substitute noodles. Pity the fact that I have to explain to my guests why their gagh is dead, though. :(
That said, my recipes for gagh look a lot better than the one K'tesh advocates. Look for them at the bottom of this post.

A very well respected individual in some parts of Earth. The Japanese regarded him so highly, that they named an
aircraft carrier after him.
Actually, the recipes involving seaweed intrigued me.
People in the West don’t generally realize that seaweed is an incredible source of minerals. You can buy little bags of dried dulse, for instance, that can be eaten for a snack like potato chips; it’s VERY healthy - and tasty!
Here’s an interesting article:
