    Or that it’s not really Leola root. Maybe it’s something that Neelix knows nobody would willingly eat, so he just calls it Leola root to make it palatable.

      What could be less palatable?

      Can’t say I recall an otherwise positive reaction to it’s taste. And surely, if it wasn’t plant life, Kes (a vegetarian) would have chimed in long ago.

        Maybe it started out as Leola root, but eventually he ran out, so he’s using whatever he can find around the ship. What? No idea. Use your imagination.

      I’ve kind of always assumed this explained where he found so much “Leola Root”.

      I figure it’s different gross crap from planet to planet.

      For a couple star systems, his claim that it’s “Leola Root” seemed plausible to the crew.

      Eventually everyone was putting so much replicated salt on it that they can’t taste the flavor changes, and Neelix is just bluffing his way through cooking whatever weeds he can find.
