i want to know what plomeek soup tastes like…what is this spicy breakfast soup that has got all these Vulcans raving! if Harry Kim likes it then it must be good
every time we see plomeek soup on screen it looks different, which makes me think there is a lot of either regional or individual variation in preparation. Plomeek itself might also have lots of different cultivated varieties, like an onion or a potato. The variety of plomeek and type of plomeek soup common in Shikahr that Spock eats might be totally different than the type common in the colony Tuvok is from. the soup possibilities are endless
Terrible idea: “plomeek” is Vulcanese for “soup”, and they just never bothered correcting the translation.
Each time we see plomeek soup it’s actually a completely unrelated soup, the translator is just incorrectly translating “plomeek” as “plomeek soup”, like how The River Avon is just “The River River” in two languages
“Ah yeess Soup Soup” says the Human. The Andorian. Some girls from a Planet called Cardassia. The Blue person who needs a vape stuck up their nose to live.
A early bug in the Federations’ translator never picked up the half a moment pause between ‘Plomeek’ - it’s Vulcan, and thus it shall remain - And it’s translation, a heathy, humbling impulse for those who associated with non-Vulcans early in and before the Federation’s founding.
The endorphin rush that came with every time other species didn’t realize it was a translation assured it would never. Ever. Be corrected.
