"We don't boil and mince seaweed and eat it with... whatever cockles are." (Obviously, Sulu knew biologically what they were, but he also knew he'd never want to eat them, so they had to be something else.) He laughed nonetheless, though, sort of pleased that Ianto seemed to be relaxing pretty quickly with the introduction of some food and drinks into the mix.
"Oh," Sulu said at the reference to replicated food. "I might just be a little picky. Replicators pretty much exactly produce food how it's supposed to be, I just like the idea of growing and harvesting my own things. Most people don't have to farm when it comes to food, but there are a lot of farming communities nonetheless, because we have the opportunity to bring food to everyone that way. Replicators and the like pretty much wiped out famine, but that doesn't stop people from wanting to make sure our food supply is never too short, you know?" He laughed, "Just in case."
