Fun random fact, I've been learning Finnish for about 10 months, and it greatly confused me to find out they have a dish called quark. Like, what kind of society goes around eating elementary particles? No wonder it's one of the most difficult languages to learn.

.....isnt all food made out of fundamental particles?

The Dutch have the same dish with the same name. They spell it as "kwark" though.

Have you tried it before? It doesn't sound very appealing, though it might be one of those things that sounds nasty but tastes delicious.

It's basically eaten as an alternative to yoghurt, or in cakes, cheesecake can be made with kwark. I have eaten the cake, which is allright, but I don't like the texture /mouth feel when eaten like yoghurt.

Did the name of the food come before or after the discovery of quarks?

The particle was named after the food.

(But the Star Trek character, I have no idea.)
