Looks like the obvious thing to do with them.
yes, a bit on the nose. but i am enjoying the community response
Are tribbles the new popplers?
tastier! and now with less intergalactic war!
Me, still chewing: "And?
Here, try the Tribble nuggets. The Ferangi market then as 'Triggets'."
They ate all the quadrotriticale, so I guess turnabout is fair play.
Your point?
Pass the honey mustard 
do you think they can replicate a good bbq sauce?
They’d have to scan it in first, but perhaps they have already?
Edit: there seems to be some debate as to the quality of replicated food, even within Trek. Personally, I think it depends on a number of variables including the quality of the sample scanned in, the quality and working order of the replicator used to replicate food, etc. Not all replicators are equal.
Also, one can replicate ingredients and then use a replicator to cook a dish as one would in a normal kitchen (although how is unclear), potentially creating a better (or worse) version of a dish with nuance and a personal touch. We have seen Janeway attempt this with various degrees of success— or, more often, failure.
