A plate of pipius claw
Pipius claw was a traditional Klingon dish.
Commander Riker sampled a dish of pipius claw when he attempted to acquaint himself with Klingon culture prior to his temporary assignment aboard the IKS Pagh in 2365. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor")
On stardate 41503.7, Commander Korris and Lieutenant Konmel enjoyed replicated tea and pipius after being rescued by the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Heart of Glory")
In non-canon, Neelix's Star Trek Cookbook suggests quite plainly that pipia (plural for pipius) are actually crustaceans, or at least wetland and ocean bottom dwellers. The book also makes a note that this dish is unusual among Klingon meat dishes in that it is "tame" meaning served dead.
