- Caprino - Italian goat cheese.

- Tyrolean Grey - Famously stinky Austrian cheese with sticky grey or black centers.
- Brunali - Remember that baby Borg, Icheb, that Seven of Nine saved and adopted and made into Wesley Crusher 2.0 on Voyager? He was Brunali.
- Rokpol - Polish blue cheese.
- Caitian - Feline species made famous by the hottie Uhura-wannabe M'Ress from the original Trek animated series.

Note: Bonus points if you notice the Prime Directive joke hidden in the cheese-versus-aliens pattern.

ReplyDeleteQuark might be a cheese, but Quark was also the alien bartender in DS9. Maybe not an alien race, but an alien anyway.
