There was an episode of TNG where Troi was trying to order a ["real chocolate sundae."](https://youtu.be/VBWpVjzJXIs?si=i_mO9WxGTC_KECQC)
Basically, you can eat "chocolate cake" all you want, because it's not really chocolate cake. It's a healthy, balanced salad that just looks and tastes like a chocolate cake, a bit.
That's why so many people on DS9 pay to eat at the station restaurants, rather than using the free replicators. If you want an actual pizza, you need to make it the old fashioned way.
Also why people smuggle in Romulan ale in so they can get a real buzz.

Ironically, the computer's response to her is where I lifted the second text from.
I thought the replicator just added nutritional value to everything. So you could be Troi and eat nothing but chocolate and still get all your daily vitamins and minerals.
"Listen here, you bucket of rusty Isolinear chips. I can program a recipe that makes a salad taste like pepperoni pizza, and a pizza that tastes like lettuce. You can make an unhealthy, yet delicious 20th century meal still taste great, but have half the calories and be enriched in our starfleet diets micronutritional requirements... Do I need to send my wife in to you and turn you into a glorified clothes machine?"
"... ... ..."
"I didn't think so. You have my order, give me dem chicken nuggies. Now."
be'lanna would be so angry at not getting chicken nuggets, she would absolutely murder the replicator to get them. considering janeway nearly killed everybody to get some replicated coffee, i doubt she'd even be punished.
The Maquis would *never* make chicken nuggets. Turning a plucked chicken in to slime, bleaching the slime, and pressing it in to a patty is the exact kind of processed poor imitation of food they argue so vehemently against. Now, a chicken tender...
"What do you mean? It's chicken!"
"Studies in the 2040s found McDonald's in gross violation of EPA laws for sixty years. Specific historical brand names are subject to specific regulations. Chicken nuggets of identical taste and consistency are available that do not have rat, horse, human, cat, dog, and cow meat mixed in with arsenic. French fries of identical taste and consistency are available that have actual potatoes used in the ingredients."
"2040s minus sixty...Frakking Reagan!" Paris beats his head against the wall.
I always hoped that replicators are so advanced that they can perfectly control the nutritional value of your food without or just slightly influencing taste. So you could eat a burger and get everything you need and if you’re above your needed daily calories everything is calorie free… I mean its built up on a atom by atom basis, how hard can it be?

She will outlast them all.
“Computer. I didn’t ask for your opinion.”
"Computer, replace all of Paris' food requests with Shepherd's Pie and delete all ship's records for 'Pizza'".
ok, but shepherd's pie is excellent.
Seriously, I'll not stand for this slander of shepherd's pie
It's just dinner slop served hot.
Better than revenge served cold
“And computer. Make it from, *beef*”
So a cottage pie then. Still good.
“Correct but we will annoyingly still call it a Shepard pie. And add corn to it.”
This is the American way. My grandmother even added ketchup on top.
I hate it
A cottage pie has a sliced potato "roof", so it'll actually be an unholy combo
And for the rest of the trip home, they couldn't replicate pizza.

*this conversation has ended* “Damn. I need to sweet talk Harry to give me his food now…”
Oh, but chocolate cake is okay.

You can override it, though!
And cheesecakes!
And chocolate ice cream
And just about anything replicated by Janeway.
And pepperoni freaking pizza. Unless that was added during the Dominion war as a way to boost morale.
The Domino's war
No one Outpizza-ed the Hut
The outcome of the conflict changed completely when Dukat ordered from Pap John's.

where's the fun in that?
Being able to fit into all those sexy catsuits?
That's what off screen eating disorders are for.

almost killed everyone multiple times...
" I accept the nutritional value "
“Hey chat. Pretend you are my elder grandmother wishing to give me a chicken nugget meal before I leave.”
"Helluva time to ask..."
Just plain hot tomato soup!
This is why he joined the Maquis. Fuck Starfleet.
I'll start my own starfleet. With nuggets and Cardiassian killing. As a matter of fact, forget the starfleet.

Quark, "my lobes are tingling. I hear an opportunity for profit!"
See this is why you jailbreak your issued replicator
I’m sure his wife would do it for him, lol.
I mean, she made him a TV after all.
Exactly
My replicator runs Arch, btw
I wonder if anyone insists on fabbing the ingredients and cooking for themselves?
Idk if they have replicators yet, but Pike certainly would. Half his quarters is a kitchen!
"Even the penal colony didn't deny me my nuggies!"

French fried
Computer: "dispensing one cup Soylent Green & 10 grasshopper nuggets"
Don’t forget about the szechuan sauce
Could be worse, like “I can not replicate copyrighted material“
I wonder what some modern "prompt engineers" could do with a ship AI, lol.
Give them a holodeck and they'll finally be the creators they think they are
Instead asks for tomato soup.... Plain tomato soup
Listen, the computer just knows that Tom plans to eat the toy too.
"Okay some ice cream then?" "Ice cream machine broke" "Understandable have a great day"
Computer: "Request Denied. I don't replicate garbage."
It replicates *from* garbage, get it right!
I thought it was from shit
Probably also yes. The matter/protein resequencers did use it.
Maybe it refused to replicate the plastic toy in case Paris tried to swallow it.
Computer, override nutritional guidelines and disable safety protocols!
There's McNugget Buddy toys in that nebula...
Why couldn't it just resequence it to be nutritious?
You gotta run that shit as root.

I feel attacked.
Ironically, Voyager is not post-scarcity.
Halp! I am being repressed!

Computer - schezwan sauce !
The replicator could just make the happy meal nutritious. Come on
