Hey, everyone ordering fine beers, remember the whole synthanol business. You’re not supposed to be able to tell the difference… But we all know how well that works.

Myself, I think a common order would definitely be “Pierogies, potato and cheddar, sauteèd in butter, with onions”. But maybe I’m just homesick: You can’t get pierogies out here.

In _Ship In A Bottle_, we get some explanation of how holodeck creations are different from normal matter. In this episode(and in another episode I can’t remember the name of-first appearance of Dixon Hill, Cyrus Redblock, alien race offended by mispronunciation “Aaaaaaaaaah! Rahsluu ahhhhh!”), we see holodeck items disolve upon exiting the holodeck.

**Why not eat on the holodeck?**  
Go to the holodeck and gorge yourself on whatever foods you want. Then, walk out. The holodeck food changes back to photons. No weight gain. No bits of food stuck in your teeth. No stains on your clothes.

```
 On the holodeck, every food is lite.
```

But in the first Moriarty episode, _Elementary, My Dear Data_, Data walks out of the Holodeck holding a piece of paper from Moriarty’s house which he had drawn on, and shows it to Picard! WHERE’S YOUR AUTOMATIC DE-MATERIALIZATION OF HOLODECK MATTER NOW!??!?!?!?

(ever click post, and then think of one more thing you should have added?)

After all, if Scotty can transport two humpback whales in _Star Trek IV_, I think one lardbutt shouldn’t be too hard. 🙂

Amusingly, at first glance, I thought this said “french toast with fresh batteries and maple syrup.” I was wondering whether there was perhaps an android among us.
