Enabran Tain’s rolling pin collection.
that’s it. that’s the post.
“If I’d known you were coming I’d’ve baked a cake.”
but what KIND of cake would Enabran Tain bake…
Important question. Here’s my best guesses.
1. Sachertorte
2. Cupcakes with little Order symbol decorations
3. Fish cakes
4. Fish cakes disguised as dessert cupcakes with little Order symbol decorations
GASP Tain's evil truly knows no bounds.
He'd have baked whatever his super secret intelligence report said Bashir liked best, let's be real. And disguised fish cakes as THAT.
Bashir’s super spidey sense enhanced olfactory powers means he smells the fish long before he tries them and realises what’s going on. Eats a cake like it’s the best thing he’s ever had and asks for his compliments to be passed on to the chef. Mila hiding in the kitchen laughing. Serves Tain the remaining cakes the following day. Tain has the author of the intelligence report stitched up like a kipper.
I have no doubt Garak gave him all kind of guff about the ordeal after the fact. Wether he actually tries to convince Julian that fish cakes are important/ a delicacy or whips them out as a “favorite of his” as a bit of a joke is up in the air. But! I have no doubt that the particular smell of a fish cake would emotionally age Julian a couple of years as he has to relive the whole ordeal.
Garak, as usual, is having the time of his life Every Single Time.
