Kirks enterprise did have replicators it had to have them otherwise where did they keep gettin all their clothes that blended in with different cultures seen in many episodes.

Surely they didn’t jus happen to have 18th century style suits on hand

Maybe you have to specify the pizza to be pre-sliced before you replicate it, otherwise it won’t be.

Entire thread is in danger of exceeding the humor pressure limit and imploding into a jocularity!

Re anchovies — Can’t think of anything more delightful than downing Estrella Damm pilsener and anchovies in a Barcelona tapas bar.

Since phasers were ineffective, it would come in handy when faced with the flying pizza bat creatures from “Operation: Annihilate!”

Pie slices! Why does everyone embrace the heresy?

Party (square) slices are the best. They are also Chicago style. Best Pizza ever. I have been there and done that, and NYC pizza sucks a**!

I will never submit to a pie slice of pizza!

Very cool, but the lack of a blade guard makes me think it wise to use this piece for decor/conversation only.

To boldly order the gagh extra supreme?

Served with Romulan ale of course. Preferably have the ale first! But save some to wash the gagh down.

3. Nathan Says: “The cutter appears to be from the pre-refit original Enterprise, which didn’t have replicators yet (most likely). Somebody had to make the food”

If you had true geek cred, you would have cited the early first season episode “Charlie-X” where we see Kirk talking to the chief culinary officer (or whatever the head cook is called on a Federation ship). We come in partway through the conversation with Kirk saying, “…see what you can do. If the crew has to eat synthetic protein for Thanksgiving, at least try to make it look like turkey.”

Of course later the cook calls Kirk on the intercom and says, “Sir, I put the synthetics into the oven, but now there’re real turkeys in there!”

That established that the Enterprize had, at least in the beginning, a galley with ovens.

This would be for when the show took a multicultural look at Italians and we got to see some stereotypical Italian woman tell Picard that “replicators can’t cook with love,” I believe they were planning that for the season after Wesley joined the Space Native Americans.

JoeSmithCA — LOL, but you might want to set it on Autolyse Mode, which helps increase the extensibility of the dough due to the action of protease enzymes in the flour to break down the gluten slightly. Stun Mode is a definite no-no, as it only conflates the dilithium crystals and confuses the heck out of Scotty. I ordered the Gates McFadden model, since I know it’ll be perfect in every way. Finisci di mangiare!

The needs of the sausage outweighs the needs of the anchovy.
Or the onion.

Sorry, my pizza cutter obliterated the pizza when it accidently launched photon torpedoes.

I think that TNG had uncut replicated cake. Or was that just in Data’s creepy dreams in that one episode…?
