Few humans dare to eat gagh, rokeg blood pie, or heart of targ. S21

"A much-favored Klingon dish, difficult to prepare properly. There are
many regional variations of this dish. The blood feud between the House
of Rengath and the House of Dor began when warriors of each house claimed
to have the better recipe." (KCD)
"Many Klingon families traditionally serve blood pie on the Day of Honor."
Neelix made a blood pie for B'Ellana on the Day of Honor. She didn't care
