  1. I am now actively researching how terrioir is described, how different varieties of grapes are classified, and how wine is made.  Once this is done, I'll move on to spirits, probably starting with gins as I know the least about those.

    Even if this is never actually approved for use in game, I now must see this through.  I may be lost.

  2. Yeah, I think my general rule of thumb with names is if I replaced the Species (Bajoran, Bolian, Trill) with Terran, would it make any sense.

    In the OP example of a Bollian Soufflé, if I told the replicator Terran Souffle would that be enough information to get an answer (in this case I would bet not, unless the replicators work on a default setting that allows them to dispense some generic option when given a generic request.  But Terran Souffle wouldn't let the replicator know if I meant sweet or savory, and any number of options below that).  The Spring Wine example.  If I ordered Terran Spring Wine I wouldn't be giving nearly enough information at all.  French, Italian, Spanish, German, American, would need to be known at minimum, beyond that you could specify type of wine, locality within the region, and even down to the vineyard.

     

    We do thing kind of thing every day without thinking about it much.  After my post above, I'm not going to try and create a wine lovers guide to Trill, just to see if I can come up with something that seems internally consistent.

    (Don't look at me like that, I find this kind of thing relaxing)
