I think it would probibly be best for the first time players if you don't put the English names up for the foods in the choices, just to make it a bit harder for them!
I'd have to Agree with Kanenkitten, if you leave the English names on there it would be too easy for the first timers. If you just leave the Klingon names it would give a better challenge for the first timers and possibly better entertainment with more views for you
Srsly, in the game, there are no captions. You have to pause the film, then click on things and the computer tells you orally what you clicked on with a short description. Aside from weapons, all such items are described in English. Ex: Durani Lizard Skins, Tapastry, Hooves of the Tiqnoq beast, Akta crystal, Configurable Brige Display, Blast Door, Briget Lung, etc.
Someone remind me, I'll CamStudio some actual gameplay and you'll see what I mean.
The impression I got was that if you DID try to reach for it, it would do ... something. They just never got around to explaining just what that is.
All I've come up with is (a) it would attack whoever it was pointing at when you reach for it (b) it would pulse with some kind of energy similar to a phaser or disrupter, (c) explode and kill everyone, or (d) somehow strangle you with the strings it's dangling from. .. ok maybe not that last one XD
Okrand doesn't say that all food is raw. The verb vut (to cook) does mean prepare as apposed to apply heat, but there is also the verb mIQ which means to deep-fry something.
It could also be considered a mis-translation by the UT. It knows vut as cook so the Klingon could be vutHa' and the UT makes that into "over cook".
True, he does not outright say "all Klingon food is raw or live" however on either Conversational Klingon or Power Klingon, during one conversation at a resturaunt, the customer asks "Is all Klingon food raw?" to which the waitress says "Klingons do not enjoy burnt meat/animals" and that's with Okrand speaking the Klingon portion of the discussion.
My guess is they changed it so that Klingon food IS cooked. The convo above doesn't actually SAY all food is raw, so it can easily be ignored
HIja'. Okrand says that some food is prepared using heat, while some isn't. I normally assume that Klingon food runs the whole spectrum, going from live all the way to well cooked.
Hey, Unanimous, do you think the "Federation woman" who gave the recipie that used "Vodka" in Blood Pie was Worf's adopted mom? I mean, the last name of her husband sounds Russian. X-D
Hehe,vhoodka,that's my favorite liquid spice too. ;)

Looking at that probe-scene again, I was hit by the realisation one could actually grab it from behind...
But you are to listen to your elders...

Oh crap! I never even considered that. Dude I think you figured out a secret tie-in to TNG that I totally missed. Good call sir!
