I attempted to recreate gagh. Easy to make but hard to enjoy. Tasted perfectly fine. Not much going for it but the spice.

If you can find shirataki noodles, those are said to look very close to the worms. However I couldn’t, so I resorted to udon (used on DS9).

Ingredients:

  • soy sauce
  • rice vinegar
  • fish sauce
  • gochujang
  • food coloring

Depending on how much you use, the food coloring may be unnecessary.

EDIT: I changed this post to NSFW so those grossed out don’t have to scroll past and see it.

    I only recall the amount of varieties. In “wej Duj” (unless mistaken) they established these are blood worms which feed on blood. What kind of blood? Who’s to say? Much like when we ask if bloodwine is made with actual blood.

      Hungarian bikavér is not actually made with blood, despite the name (but it’s very tasty).

        ODO: By the way, your gagh has arrived.

        EZRI: My what? Oh, no.

        ODO: Oh yes, and it’s waiting for you in cargo bay two.

        KIRA: Your gagh?

        EZRI: Jadzia ordered it. She was planning a party for Martok’s birthday next week. KIRA: How much gagh did she order?

        ODO: Fifty one cases.

        EZRI: Each containing a different variety.

        KIRA: There are varieties of gagh?

        EZRI: Oh, yes. | can remember what each one tastes like, and the way they feel when you swallow them. Torgud gagh wiggles. Filden gagh squirms. Meshta gagh jumps.

        (Ezri gags.)

        BASHIR: Are you all right?

        KIRA: Are you all right?

        BASHIR: Me?

        KIRA: Well, you’ve barely said three words. Something on your mind?

        BASHIR: Oh, no. | just can’t wait to see Miles, that’s all.

        KIRA: Oh, let me guess. You have a holosuite appointment? Defending the Alamo again?

        BASHIR: You know me too well.

        KIRA: When does his transport arrive?

        BASHIR: Half an hour.

        EZRI: Bithool gagh has feet. Flush it out the airlock. All of it.

        ODO: Environmental regulations.

        KIRA: Why don’t you just give it to Martok?

        EZRI: He’d insist on sharing it with me as a point of honour. Wistan gagh is packed in targ blood. | have to go now. See you later.

        BASHIR: | think I’d better go too.

        ODO: Give my regards to Santa Anna. ](https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/115/454/624/254/478/189/original/697c1b7dead381ad.jpeg)
