Bouncy Bubbly Beverage and Authentic Coffee Colored Analogue.

Sorry, my bad, that's for the Paranoia boards...

and I'll give hunter 5 stars, if only for converting the Traveller rules to d20...

My unbelievable stupidity boggles me. How can I POSSIBLY have forgotten

Bhlog and crottled greeps?

Washed down with plenty of Bheer, of course!

As to drinks-
What's a spaceport bar anywhere in the Universe without a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster on the menu?

Must be Vogon Territory, so if I were you, do *NOT* go there unless you feel like ending your life or are a masochist.

Sparkling Coffee. The original carbonated, high-fructose, caffeinated, single-malt, vegetable drink!

And, borrowed from Roger Zelazny, "Kentucki Fried Lizzard Partes".

<<<And don't forget the ever popular squid-on-a-stick.>>>

I think I actually had that when I was in Japan.

Yes indeed. Grilled, if I remember right, and marinated in teriyaki sauce.

Guys, guys...

I can't believe that no one remembered from Hitchiker's guide that ALL CIVILIZATIONS have a drink pronounced 'gin and tonic' (however spelled), and that each and every one of them is a different concoction altogether!

Beverages. Most agrarian cultures on earth have ber,wine,or both. Also vegatable infusions like coffee, tea, or cola. That won't change.

Ambassador G'Kar from Babylon 5,
"It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs. I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never get explained or which will drive you mad if you ever learned the truth."

Me? I think there will always be Twinkies and Fig Newtions.

Drinks: I like to steal from John Ostrander's 'Grimjack' and inflict 'Olde Minke' on my would be tough guy players.

Snack foods:hmm well. I once remember trying to come up with an alien looking vargr dish. so I invented this cubes of raw dripping meat thingy on a motorised plate thingy that made the cubes jump around and actualy get airborne. The Goal was to spear individual cubes with a single claw.

Non - vargr could get a claw prosthesis.

Invariably some PC would turn the motor on the plate to '10'

Insta-noodles ala Cowboy Bebop (there's a good sequence with them at the start of the movie). Like those Insta-Lunch things except you pull a tab, wait a bit, and pull the lib.

Asu tends to snack on Natto (much to the nasal agony of the rest of the crew) and Wasabi Peas (great for fire-breathing practice) but those are RL snacks. (she's 1/4 Japanese)

Oh and Vargr or Hiver, etc. run "Chinese" restaurants. I figure if even Ireland can have one practically everywhere, so can the 3I.


Of course Guinness still exists though of course it doesn't taste as good as Guinness back in Ireland.

I'm sure that Terrans have imported JOLT to the outer reaches of the Imperium - all the sugar and twice the caffeine of your regular cola! (Also useful for cleaning windshields, grav lifter parts, and small arms components....)

In our last session, Sgt. Stiles had a rum and Havacola with his dinner (Rum and Blue Sun just isn't the same) at the Vargr "Chinese" resturant. The broiled rats were OK, tasted like Vilani Plains Fowl. They just needed some sort of sweet sauce to go with them.

Hahaha...Really? Havacola as a chaser/mixer eh? Well you know, Havacola will pick you and calm you down and is palatable to almost every Sophont int he known Universe...

Makes sense that it would go with rum...

[smacks lips] aahhhh....so good...

Isn't sopantophageous activity usually a crime?

Aside from that, I think it is safe to say that every bar, on every world, for every species will have some sort of salty snack in little dishs. And they will likely sell some sort of high protean snack (egg, sausage) that is pickled and spicy.
