Ch1 - cultural - POK TAR
Many Vulcans eat smaller meals thru the day, in order to make metabolism efficient and to preserve resources by rationing meals as a cultural tradition. “TAR” means to speak in the general sense, or tell a short story, smalltalk. “POK” as listed, has unfamiliar origins as a single word, but similarly paik = general, pok = ready, pohk = regard, tah = unobtainable, t’ahr (pro-rhotic) = relates to observations. The quality of the food is more important than the quantity. Most pok-tar is a variety meal and not one food by itself, and in small servings to allow civilized conversation while eating.
Vulcans prefer to use cutlery (forks, knives, spoons) etc, traditionally to be clean in case of chance emergency. To humans, it might appear that Vulcans only eat appetizers, or that by eating many smaller meals, would appear to be eating often or too much. This is not necessarily true. They are traditionally vegetarians, but will survive by logical method.
Fi’math t’du ra? = What’s on your plate?
Kaasa = fruit
Kahm = meat
Kap-yar = grain
Khlup = jelly
Kov-sayas = nut
Kreila = biscuit
Lag = gum
Mashya = tuber / edible root
Mun = sauce
Neik-tuf = ribs
Kahm = meat
Pir mah = strawberry toast
Shur = soup
Tei = tea
Thas = milk
Thuhk = cheese
Yarmok = salad
Yu-mur = egg
Ravot = insect
Ketek-haya = protein supplement
Feim-tor t’yem t’du, il yem kartan t’du, svi’vuhlkansu.
