“James Tiberius Kirk has never seen a salad before and in fact has no idea what a salad even is” is such a GODTIER TAKE thank you for your service

I’m just reporting the facts! 

and since this is actually the most important part of the TOS food document, I’ll reiterate the theory here for those who don’t wanna read the whole thing: 

I think kirk just kinda tried to play it cool after he realized everyone knew what salad was but him, but really eating it with hands is a dead give away (especially considering we have seen him eat his colored food cubes WITH A FORK AND KNIFE)
