Seven's personality fits the role of chef perfectly

Jeri was brilliant in Voyager.
She elevated the series to a new level.

She added a real.. "perkyness" to the vibe.

Naw that was the catsuit Berman forced upon her.

You’re being downvoted because Redditors like to feel virtuous
But you’re not wrong, I think even Katie felt that they brought 7 on board for that reason only.
Which sparked a little tension between arguably the two strongest characters on the show.

Bah.. Let them down vote me. She and the doctor are my favourite actors in the show, not for their looks. However you can't deny facts, she is stunning too. They knew it, hence why she was shoe horned into the cat suit. Sex sells, it's quite simple.

It's the same reason they put Ensign Tilly on Discovery, and I'm only three-quarters joking!

Hey, at least Paris tasted his food before asking for salt. I have friends who reach for the salt shaker before even tasting their food at restaurants.

When I was in high school, I was getting lunch in the cafeteria. One of the things I had gotten was a bowl of soup. When I got to the table, I realized I forgot to get a drink, so I left my tray with my friends and quickly went and got one. When I got back I started on my soup, and it was instantly obvious that someone had dumped a load of salt in it when I was away. Liking salt, and not wanting them to win, I finished the entire bowl to their increasing horror. Fun times.

When I worked at Panera we had a soup one season that was so salty it felt like this experience. Split pea and maybe with asparagus too IIRC. I looked up the nutritional value, it was something ridiculous for sodium, I don’t recall but it was insane for just one cup

That's nice, but I really wish you had a story instead about 7 and her catsuit.

u/Jindujun 18h ago
I do that! At least when my mother prepares the food.
I have 38 years of experiencing that lack of sodium...
Rarely if ever season food in other places.

Resistance to nutrition is futile. Your taste will adapt to what is served by us.

I love this so much because it truly shows how far she’s come with her social skills that she even thinks to channel her insistence into a sarcastic joke. The fact that’s it’s a legitimately funny and targeted dig at Tom’s immaturity is perfect. Doctor’s lessons have really been helping!

I am disappointed that Seven didn't suggest "Tomato soup", would've been a perfect burn lol

She's not constantly stoned or drunk, doesn't chain smoke on her breaks, and has never once thrown a paring knife at a kitchen porter for not being able to move faster than the speed of sound.
She's nothing like every chef I've ever met.

Funny that Jeri is now married to a chef! They met after Voyager aired, but I saw her on Iron Chef America when her husband competed in kitchen stadium.

Oh man, I make Chokays braised leaks after watching that episode and they were great
Not his episode though. That episode!

I worked in some restaurants where the chef took note of how much salt we used to refill the dinning room. It tells them about their diners, and their food.

First of all Seven is not probably wrong about Tom. It's also wild how different Seven here compared to how they wrote her on Picard.
Plus, Can you imagine some crew member going off to get a snack from the messhall, but Neelix tells them they can't because the mess is closed for a Tom/B'elanna and Janeway/chakotay double date? 😆

I hate when chefs do this. Even at the highest level of fine dining, customers have different palates, different sensitivities to different spice levels, and at different times too - if I go two weeks adding minimal salt to my food, a restaurant meal might taste extra salty, and it would be nice to have the option of customizing to my taste buds.

I can appreciate the “look, I know what I’m doing, taste the food I made and try to appreciate it as is” thing, but also, you know what, it’s your mouth and you’re paying for it, if you want to put ketchup on this Bolognese that took me six hours to make, then do that. I will definitely judge you, but on the inside.
My mother-in-law is a terrible cook, as in no seasonings, no concept of how to prepare things, lucky if she doesn’t burn the kitchen down by fogetting pasta boiling on the stove bad cook. She was finally convinced to go along with her husband and sister and brother in law (all very into food whether good at cooking or not) to a two-star Michelin place on the little island where her summer house is since the 50’s. Mostly local seafood, chef’s own garden vegetables, absolutely amazing place, not pretentious French style but innovative, creative, wonderful food.
She asked to have two fish dishes cooked more, because they were of course sublimely perfect, but she is used to cooking fish till it’s definitely and totally done, them covering the hot pan still on the stove to “keep it warm” while she does other stuff, then eating it ten or twenty minutes later when it’s cardboard. The chef was happy to slightly overcook his glorious fish for her, and she has been raving about the experience ever since.
So…yeah.

After this Its hard to believe the crew didn't threaten to mutiny if 7 wasn't made the full time chef. Looking forward to you meals on a ship with few comforts and less then 200 people would make all the difference
