How do you go about making Kanar - what would you use!?!What did they actually drink on the show - it looked vile - was it prune juice!?! Or mashed up Licorice!?! ------------------ "What's an Oprah?" - Teal'c, Stargate-SG1

Well, there are two types of Kanar: the orange one from "Way of the Warrior", and the dark brown type from other episodes.Boris ------------------ "Wrong again.

In the bookstore I saw a book called: Neelix' Recipies or something like that..Look it up on that book.. maybe it's in there... Next time I go to the bookstore, I'll check it out.. But even in the Star Trek world, appearantly, Kanar was an aquired taste!! ------------------ Alshrim Dax

Yep. It was pink then, methinks.Perhaps, like wine, it comes in a variety of forms. "Pink" kanar - widely exported fermented kanisberries in water suspension. "Orange" kanar - suspended in brine "Black" kanar - consistency of tar Pure mashed and fermented berry, for those who can afford it only! ------------------ "You will be swept away....

Heh, it's not surprising Kanar is an accuired taste, seeing as how prune juice is an accuired taste in the Star Trek universe....as well as Root Beer

It seems as though every major race in the Star Trek universe has its own special drink. The Klingons have blood wine, the Romulans have Romulan ale, and of course Kanar for the Cardassians. In all the episodes I've seen, I've never heard any reference to what any of them are made of (although I could make an educated guess about the blood wine ). Perhaps someone could correct me on this...Kanar is very thick though, if you recall the scene where Damar splashed a glass of Kanar against his mirror. It would probably be almost like drinking alcoholic jam. Definitely an acquired taste. ------------------ "But, it was so artistically done." -Grand Admiral Thrawn

Perhaps it's not so insidious. Just gooey Marmite, or a bottle of cold Bovril!!! ------------------ "He'll kill us all if we don't kill him first! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!!!!"

You'd think the human drink would be a Gin and Tonic, but we haven't seen any. . .

The dark Kanar that was used in the last seasons of Deep Space Nine was made with glucose or something. It made Cassey Biggs who played Damar sick sometimes from drinking it. I read it in some Star Trek magazine, not sure which one though.------------------ He can't be unoriginal The way I feel is sexual The way I feel is sexual.

LOL at AndrewR!!! "Calms the nerves". I so can remember that line.But I thought Ractajino was a 24th Century Earth likeness to Cappucino. Who said it was Klingon? ------------------ -You are crazy. -I thought I was pisces.

They've said it on the show. One example I can think of is in "Trials and Tribble-ations". While they're in the bar on K-7, one of them asks for a raktajino and has to explain to the waitress that it's a Klingon coffee.------------------ "Is he live or dead?

"Calms the nerves" - that was in "Paradise Lost" wasn't it?It is possible to buy "official" Klingon raktajino coffee beans. I've seen packs in a local collectables store. They have a pic of Gowron on the package. I haven't tried it though. They have all sorts of Trek coffees and hot chocolates. Anyway, I'm pretty sure they're imported from the US. ------------------ "Forgive me if I don't share your euphoria!" (Weyoun to Dukat, Tears of the Prophets) Dax's Ships of STAR TREK

Raktajino has either been mentioned in "Dax" or the ep with Vash coming to DS9. I remember recently hearing Bashir explain it in one of the two eps, probably the former.I love the cable here in US...Saturday 17:00 = TNG (misc eps), 19:00 DS9 Season 1, Sunday 1:30 TNG Season 7, 2:30 DS9 Season 5, Monday-Friday 23:30 VOY (misc eps), Saturday/Sunday VOY Season 1, Wednesday 21:00 Voy Season 6. Too bad I can't catch TOS on SciFi as well. Boris
