Grilka- “You may not have been the ideal husband…”
G- “…but you are an excellent bartender.”
Q- “I know of no greater compliment.”
i love the fact that everyone on deep space nine drinks raktajino. for me it’s a nice nod to that specific feel of growing up in a really multicultural city and eating food from everyone else’s culture and sharing your own food culture with your friends who have different ones until it all just becomes What You Do, so when you go someplace less diverse you miss it. in all the other treks you only hear about either starfleet officers’ generic american/western european food choices or [insert alien species name here] versions of american/western european food items. it’s cool that on ds9 the writers went to the effort of having characters casually name-check foods from the various cultures on the station; it adds to the sense of cultural exchange that the show’s premise sets up.
