[Star Trek] Were Pavel Chekov and Worf raised on similar food growing up?

[Goodsport]

And would they have bonded over that had they ever met?

While Pavel Andreievich Chekov was born and raised in Russia (on Earth), Worf Sergeyevich Rozhenko was adopted and raised by Sergey and Helena Rozhenko, first being raised on the human colony planet of Gault before then being raised in Belarus (also on Earth). Perhaps they both grew up on borscht, pelmeni, peroshki, vareniki, kvas and so on?

Similarly, I wonder if they had playing soccer in common? While I’m not aware of Pavel ever having played the game, it was mentioned once in an episode of DS9 that a 13-year-old Worf accidentally injured an opposing player when they both attempted to jump and head a soccer ball during a game. ️

In any case, did Alexander Worfevich Rozhenko grow up as his father did or was he instead fully raised as a Klingon?

It was said that Worf's family tried to expose him to as much Klingon culture as they could, as he was growing up.

Pretty sure that Chekov would have claimed the Bat'leth was a Russian inwention.

By a little old lady in Leningrad, surely.

Was Chekov a fan of prune juice, like Worf was? I don't recall that ever coming up.

I believe the only potent potable Chekov ever mentioned a preference for was likely vodka.
Though I wouldn't put it past him to whip up a beet smoothie.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Chekov was also a fan of kvass.

“THIS! Is the drink of a warrior.” — one of the greatest lines in TNG history, from one of its best episodes.

I wouldn't be surprised. Chekov was a weapons officer, and prune juice is a warrior's drink.

"Yesterday's Enterprise". Just watched that last night with my wife!

Alexander's history gets dealt wth a few times across TNG and DS9 - He was mostly raised by Worf's adoptive parents.
