Alfarian hair pasta

A plate of Alfarian hair pasta

Alfarian hair pasta is one of the many dishes Neelix was capable of fixing, and he sometimes served it aboard USS Voyager in the mess hall.

The pasta is made from the hair follicles of a mature Alfarian. Much like an Earth sheep, the hair is harvested during the shedding season in early autumn. The pasta is very high in protein. (VOY: "Parturition")

Although Earth foods sometimes use the term "hair" to refer to thin pasta, such as angel hair pasta, the Alfarian version is the only known literal use of the term.
