LTJG Jerran Terel and ENS Jennifer Cartwright walked into 10 Forward,
each holding a couple of plates in their hands which contained something
that looked like rather fat Terran burritos.  Jerran saw Jenn sitting
over by herself and walked offer her some of it while Cartwright went to
take some over to Bat.

"Care for some hasparat, Lieutenant?  It's fresh.  Ens. Cartwright and I
just made them up ourselves from supplies we procured from EPSILON."

Jenn leaned over the plate to get a smell of it.  Tears came to her eyes
as she took a whiff.  It reminded her of some of the tear gas training
maneuvers they did in the academy.

"Kind of powerful, isn't it Terri?"  she said, whiping a tear off her face.

"Well, it's supposed to be.  Back in the days of the Cardassian
occupation of Bajor, hasparat was pretty much a staple in every Bajoran's
diet.  They didn't have much in the way of meat or vegitables, so the
only way to give it any flavor was to spice it up.  It also helped
to keep people awake on long patrols and lookout shifts.  Don't worry,
though.  It's hot at first, but it doesn't last more than a minute.  
Plus, you kind of get used to it after a while."

Jenn raised an eyebrow and looked at the dish questioningly.  She heard a
loud shout from over by the bar and turned to see Bat pouring a jug of
water down his throat.  After puting the jug back down, he picked up the
hasparat and took another bite.

"Well, if Bat can stand it, I guess I can, too," she said with a smile.
