I agree with this take. Also, IIRC, in professional kitchens, taste-testing spoons get tossed in the dishwashing pile after each use to avoid cross-contamination. Though I can't imagine pro-level chefs needing to taste a dish more than once or twice for QA.
Food is part of the human condition. Our variety of foods reflects our variety of minds. Although many member factions of the Federation can hold their own.
