Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: gha'poq
For the {vutwI'pu'}...
KGT 89: A plant's sap or juice is called {vIychorgh}.
KGT 95: As already pointed out, any drink made of the liquid that circulates through any part of a plant is {vIychorgh} (juice).
KGT 27: in all regions, the word {vIychorgh} means juice or sap--that is, the liquid from a plant. In some regions, however, its meaning has been extended to also include any liquid that accompanies food, as if a general term for sauce. Thus, instead of saying {ghevI'} for the sauce that normally accompanies {qagh} (serpent worms), the common expression is {qagh vIychorgh" (literally, "{qagh} juice" or the like). Likewise, instead of using the term {'uSu'} for the sauce traditionally offered with *gladst*, {tlhatlh vIychorgh} (literally, "*gladst* juice") is used."
KGT 90f.: If the meat is somewhat older, a common preparation technique is to {HaH} (marinate) it in any of a wide variety of concoctions containing {'Iw} (blood) and/or {vIychorgh} (sap) as a base, along with assorted animal parts. Meat prepared in this style is also called {voDleH Ha'DIbaH} (emperor's meat), again with the specific animal used instead of {Ha'DIbaH} ... All but the least experienced cooks have {chanDoq} (marinade) prepared well in advance of a meal, keeping a large container of the brew around at all times and constantly adding new ingredients to it as they become available. A special sauce ({qettlhup}) that accompanies many dishes is often a thickened version of {chanDoq}.
For more details see {jabmeH}, the famous cookbook by J'puq (cf. KGT 86).
