Odo would sometimes create a coffee cup with his hand and drink it, thus reabsorbing the liquid back into his body and allowing him to share in the dining experience. (DS9: "The Die is Cast", "The Way of the Warrior")

While Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, Neelix was responsible for cooking and serving breakfast to the crew in the mess hall. He often began preparing the meal quite early, sometimes ninety minutes before breakfast was to begin. (VOY: "Prototype")
