During her pregnancy Kasidy Yates developed a craving for anything made with ginger, such as gingerbread. The craving made her recall that Benjamin Sisko held the belief that "there was no such thing as a good stir-fry without ginger", which in turn prompted Julian Bashir, with whom she was talking at the time, to recall a stir-fry Sisko had made with Bajoran shrimp.
