/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Or that it’s not really Leola root. Maybe it’s something that Neelix knows nobody would willingly eat, so he just calls it Leola root to make it palatable.

What could be less palatable?

Can't say I recall an otherwise positive reaction to it's taste. And surely, if it wasn't plant life, Kes (a vegetarian) would have chimed in long ago.

Maybe it started out as Leola root, but eventually he ran out, so he’s using whatever he can find around the ship. What? No idea. Use your imagination.

I've kind of always assumed this explained where he found so much "Leola Root".

I figure it's different gross crap from planet to planet.

For a couple star systems, his claim that it's "Leola Root" seemed plausible to the crew.

Eventually everyone was putting so much replicated salt on it that they can't taste the flavor changes, and Neelix is just bluffing his way through cooking whatever weeds he can find.
