One of the more famous bits of Babylon 5 trivia (mentioned by G'Kar during the episode Walkabout) is the fact that every species in the known universe has a dish comparable to what the Humans call Swedish meatballs; for example, the Minbari refer to it as flarn, while the Narn dish is known as breen.


The Lurker's Guide offers the following humorous speculation:

"Since the Vorlons have manipulated all the younger races, perhaps Swedish meatballs are really a Vorlon delicacy, part of an intricate plan to defeat the Shadows through culinary unity." (Source: The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 - 3x16 Walkabout )

[edit] Also

An alien race featured in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Famous for their advanced weaponry, unconventional starship designs, and their unique attire (refrigeration suits reminiscent of a bounty hunter seen in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, concealing what was rumored to be an insectoid race).
