Rikers scrambled eggs

I got into Julia Child a few years back and decided to watch them all. She made beautiful French omelets so l made them. Once. I got it to work once. The butter was perfect, the pan was just right, the eggs did their job, wife was impressed... She hasn't asked me to repeat it in a while.

Worf looks so unimpressed but literally give it like 2 minutes and then he’s gonna be all over those scrambled eggs. He doesn’t even know what he’s missing yet.

[-]

Zopheus_@reddit

Just imagine if he had some prune juice with it!

[-]

bowlgar@reddit

Ahhhh, a warrior’s drink.

[-]

Suckamanhwewhuuut@reddit

what makes prune juice a warriors drink? ive always wondered?

Probably the alacrity with which it power cleans the intestines.

"a true Klingon tests his own body limits at all times. Even if it means shitting oneself in public after the one too many prune juice glass. A true Klingon will not shudder in shame as it happens, but glare beyond the eyes of the beholders, challenging them to dare talk about it. Much like a human baby would laugh at their parents when releasing on them. That's why I Consider Molly O'Brien a true warrior despite her young age"

Worf, true Klingon a warrior

Dramatic_Buddy4732@reddit

I've always thought that it's because prune juice was generally seen as gross. People my age refused to drink Dr pepper because of the rumor (?) it was made with prune juice.

I dunno but that's my head canon 😂

[-]

boredHacker@reddit

Slander against Dr. Pepper?! But it’s the nectar of the intelligentsia! This is clearly an organization plot… el psy knogroo… (though I might be in the wrong sub)

[-]

Dramatic_Buddy4732@reddit

I've never seen that anime (I had to google!) but my kid and husband loved it. But why Dr Pepper? 😂

Also a shot of whiskey tones down the sweetness!

A regular warrior is an undistracted warrior.

[-]

OliverStrife@reddit

Isn't it just because Guian told him it was?

[-]

Suckamanhwewhuuut@reddit

She sold it to him, but he agreed after trying it, he looked dubious at first, perhaps though it reminds him of bloodwine

[-]

Shufflepants@reddit

It's the color of blood, and very rich.

[-]

Suckamanhwewhuuut@reddit

Yeah I can agree with that, but he didn’t really like it until after he tasted it.

[-]

OrganizationFalse668@reddit

Worf loves diarrhea

honeybadger1984@reddit

Hahahaha, prune juice?!?!

/scurries away in fear

Antique_Essay4032@reddit

A warrior's meal.

[-]

lavardera@reddit

"Delicious!"

[-]

lavardera@reddit

they pulled a similar Worf food gag when the Enterprise visited DS9. He was having lunch with Jordi in the promenade at the rep-le-mat, and the both got a plate of pasta that tasted like replicator polymer.

Worf thought it was delicious.

[-]

ForceGhost47@reddit

He has the craving for the blood of a love Kolar beast

[-]

Zopheus_@reddit

Owan…

[-]

StrugglesTheClown@reddit

Because of the way he said it. I've never forgotten the name of the damn eggs.

[-]

DocStrangeLoop@reddit

Same. o-WAN.

[-]

heatlesssun@reddit

Post scarcity, where eggs cost less than a warp engine.

[-]

Gummies1345@reddit

I wanna feel like Enterprise kinda poked fun at Riker's cooking, with that last episode where he takes on the role of "chef."

[-]

marykjane@reddit

So gross

[-]

carrobucks@reddit

doesn't will call this an omelette? insane

[-]

zozigoll@reddit

No, it was Pulaski.

[-]

Acceptingoptimist@reddit

Riker: "My dad taught me all his awesome cooking skills."

Me watching terrible scrambled eggs described as an omelet.

Pulaski: "OMG I can totally tell you're like nice Gordon Ramsay!"

[-]

Mister_Mojo78@reddit

Yeah I was going to say the same.

[-]

UYscutipuff_JR@reddit

I’ll still take this over Sisko’s cooking

[-]

HalJordan2424@reddit

The rutabaga is a very misunderstood vegetable.

BritOverThere@reddit

Surely Swede?

[-]

Chemical_Jelly4472@reddit

Beet actually.

[-]

Malacro@reddit

He wouldn’t be the first person to start cooking an omelette and end cooking scrambled eggs.

[-]

semiotheque@reddit

My mother used the term omelette to mean “scrambled eggs with stuff in them.” I was in my twenties before I learned what an omelette is supposed to be.

[-]

mr_john_steed@reddit

All of my omelettes turn into scrambled eggs, too. I feel you, Will

[-]

kaiser_mcbear@reddit

I have always felt this is one of the most absurd scenes in TNG.

Everything from Rikers makeshift 'kitchen', the way everyone just shows up and the actual eggs themselves...fucking bizarre

[-]

Planatus666@reddit

Bizarre? Riker just wants to show off his cooking skills.

Fun? Very much so.

[-]

RazielX83X@reddit

Tea. Earl Grey, hot.

[-]

l0wez23@reddit

the 40 of OE kills me every time. Like of course, lets eat shitty scrambled eggs and drink malt liquor. A human tradition.

[-]

pixeltip@reddit

Nice eggs…. For a human.

[-]

ApprenticeFemboy@reddit

Worf had saw his two parmaqqay brutally murdered yet neither death brought the same despair as Rikers eggs

[-]

bigersmaler@reddit

Hey! Want to come over to my place to eat eggs?

[-]

Take_A_Look_In_Soul@reddit

I'd fire him being chef on enterprise lmao 🤣.

[-]

Jon_Luck_Pickerd@reddit

Not sure if Worf being the only one to think the eggs are delicious is a compliment or not 🤔

[-]

Planatus666@reddit

Well does also love prune juice:

"A Warrior's drink".

[-]

jerk1970@reddit

I will try your burnt unborn embryos.

[-]

Kotsaap@reddit

S03E17, nice

[-]

dnkroz3d@reddit

Lol, at least they weren't replicated.

[-]

GrandmaSlappy@reddit

"I'm an awesome chef, be amazed"

Serves eggs with absolutely 0 seasoning

[-]

Technical-Lie-4092@reddit

I've perpetually puzzled over whether one layer of the humor in this scene is that Riker is irrationally overconfident.

One clue that is also ridiculous is that Pulaski observes that Riker has a "practiced hand" because he is capable of POURING EGGS ONTO A PAN. These people would die without replicators.

[-]

mromutt@reddit

I always thought she was being sarcastic, but you made me view this scene from a completely different angle. Lol it could totally have been shot as showing what "cooking" food is like to them in the future, like to a child watching an adult make anything. Or this is Riker being a hipster hahaha

[-]

Technical-Lie-4092@reddit

I mean obviously I've never tasted replicated food but I am extremely skeptical that it's actually any worse than normal food. The tone with which people talk about replicated food versus hand-prepared is very much the way people today insist that certain things are better when in reality there's no way they could tell the difference. Riker is absolutely being a hipster.

[-]

LOUDCO-HD@reddit

Maybe it got ‘beamed’ in?

[-]

TellTailWag@reddit

Not to mention that he used an ingredient (the eggs) that he was not familiar with(presumably), without trying it out first.

[-]

spud9mn@reddit

This! Does the man know what pepper or cheese are at least?

[-]

Gnarly_Starwin@reddit

A chef is only as good as his ingredients.

[-]

SNoB__@reddit

Zero weird chair mounting during the cooking process= bad eggs.

[-]

HighValuePanda@reddit

you mean the riker maneuver?

[-]

Ok_Psychology_7072@reddit

And he gives worf about two spoons full on his plate

[-]

2112guru@reddit

Worf: "Delicious"

[-]

soverytiiiired@reddit

I always found it weird that he invited his friends over for eggs and nothing else

[-]

utterly_baffledly@reddit

This is why Pulaski showed up with booze. She had that feeling this was going to be a short shitty meal if she didn't salvage it with some good cheer...

[-]

TheRealRigormortal@reddit

This is exactly why Pulaski is the superior doctor

[-]

getmybehindsatan@reddit

It's unclear if Riker is bad at cooking or if he just grabbed eggs from another planet and never tried tasting them to see if they are gross before serving them up.

I think we just have to be glad that they didn't hatch and turn the episode into one of those "crawling through the tubes" episodes.

[-]

Previous_Link1347@reddit

It's clear from the way he handles utensils and pans that he is bad at cooking. No seasoning on the eggs, no cheese or other ingredients. Didn't even put any butter down.

[-]

Darmok47@reddit

Sounds like he got them from LV-426

[-]

thinspirit@reddit

Yeah I think they're bad because they're weird alien eggs, not because they were cooked poorly.

[-]

Plus-Ad-5853@reddit

I stand by this still being thecstrangest scene in all of trek... so weird

[-]

kkkan2020@reddit (OP)

Don't you like these kind of brief side scenes where they flesh out the character quirks

[-]

Imagine if Jacob Sisko was at this meal and being served this XD.

[-]

gahidus@reddit

It's almost weird how in all of TNG, in my mind, this stands out as one of the times when what was being said in the dialogue and what was happening on screen simply did not match up at all...

[-]

kkkan2020@reddit (OP)

Jake sisko: rolls his eyes

After pulaski says you have a practiced hand commander.
