chay' qagh bovut?

qatlh qagh vutlu' jay'?! :-)
yInbogh qagh jablu'DI' reH QaQqu' nay'!

** speculation alert **
Maybe {vut} doesn't literally mean "cook", but is more like "prepare food".
When one prepares a tossed salad, does "cook" apply?  Does {vut}?

Both of those would likely be described as "boiled", not "boiling."
I'd describe a "boiled worm" as {pubpu'bogh ghargh}.

Since the word is {pubtaHbogh}, I think the drink is *served* boiling.
