Comment on My reaction when there's a new Star Trek show for pre-schoolers

I mean I would. But I think Riker is the kind of guy that makes breakfast the morning after, sans replicator - for that personal touch. So I think he’d have no trouble scrambling some eggs.

Yeah being a good cook is serious turn on for a lot of people. And those people are often better lovers too.

But…we’ve seen it. It happened in an episode. Dude can’t cook eggs.

  I think you need to rewatch to refresh your memory. They comment on how he’s an accomplished cook that’s why they’re keen to try the eggs he’s making. However, on that occasion they are alien eggs from an 'Owon, that he’s never cooked before, and those are notoriously not to everyone’s taste. While none of the human staff could handle them, Worf loved them.

    I guess that’s the orthodox interpretation, that it’s the eggs that were bad. But like, if you actually watch what he’s doing, he just vaguely pokes at them while they burn to the bottom of the pan, and then he serves them while they’re still liquid. And they don’t call him an accomplished cook, the closest anyone gets is elevator shaft saying “Ooh, a practiced hand!” in response to Riker pouring the eggs into a pan.
