Every type of food item is accompanied by a small, hand-written label somewhere on its respective container, and though the largest words are in the same looping script that's on the books, there are also standard English translations in smaller letters beneath. Many of the spices are native to Vulcan, though there are also a few Earth varieties on offer, like cinnamon and saffron.

As far as the other food for sale, there is no meat or dairy, or anything else that got its start as part of an animal. But there are quite a few types of fruits and vegetables, edible desert flowers, fresh-baked spiced breads, and several kinds of loose leaf tea in hermetically-sealed containers.

"To a degree," Jim answers her, as he takes one of the books off the shelf and carefully opens it, skimming over the lines of text inside. "I'm more fluent in conversational Vulcan than any of the technical stuff, but I can generally tell what I'm looking at."
