Listed below are some of the better known Andorian dishes and drinks.

Alcoholic Beverages

  • Probably the best known alcoholic drink is Andorian Ale which comes in a few different varieties. The most common is a colorful blue ale with a very high alcohol content. They also produce a yellow ale that has a nutty flavour.
  • Another very popular and well known alcoholic drink is the Andorian Sunset cocktail.

Hot Beverages

  • Katheka is a stimulant drink that is very similar to Terran coffee.
  • Srjula is a bright yellow tea that is very bitter yet tart at the same time. It is made by dissolveing orange colored leaves in hot water.
  • Another Andorian tea is Talla which is made from the bark of a talla tree. It is a cheaper drink and not as popular as srjula.

Vegetable Dishes

  • Andorian Tuber Root may be served in a variety of ways. One way is to serve it raw sliced into a salad. It is considered a staple for most Andorians and is very high in calories.
  • Flat Root is usually roasted and is a brownish, orange vegetable dish.
  • Fat-grass, a grain bearing plant found growing all over Andoria except in the Northern Wastes, is a highs source of protein.
  • Most babies are fed mashed xixu fronds (a marine plant) once they have started to be weaned off of zhiassa, which is the milk produced by a nurseing zhen who is also called a zhavey while nursing.

Other Food

  • Hari is the traditional Andorian bread served with most meals.
  • Another popular dish is Impararay Redbat which is made using an Andorian redbat.
  • Many visitors to Andor are offered steamed Shaysha which is a barely edible orange speckled beetle like andorian insect. Many unwary newcomers to Andor have been encouraged to try them.
  • Seafood of many kinds are also a staple of most Andorians diet.

Saf

This is a aphrodisiac and psychoactive chemical that is refined from a native Andorian plant. It does not replicate well and only grows successfully on their native homeworld of Andoria. It is used by Andorians during sex as it provides a number of benefits when it comes to pleasure and sexual function. Normally only sanctuary priests and priestesses are allowed to dispense it to bonded groups. It is generally only available by medical prescription.

It is illegal to possess Saf offworld and can be fatal to some non-Andorians. It has been used by some as a recreational drug and is still available on the black market. The Cardassians were known to use it during the Bajoran Occupation.
