But doesn't the product answer that question?

Something as simple as a hamburger to us, is so alien to them that they
have to describe it as some messy lump of meat stuffed between two lumps of
brick made from grain. To them food is often easily identified as being
some kind of body part or perhaps a chab of some sort. The real issue is
that we don't truly understand a lot of the Klingon words we have, so we
don't know how similar, or dissimilar, they are to the objects and concepts
around us unless it's made blatantly clear by Okrand... but whenever he
does that he makes the language a little bit less alien.
