Geordi La Forge's sandwich in 2370 is made with sliced bread.
Bread was a staple food in many races and cultures in known space. It was often prepared by baking a dough of water and flour derived from a grain or other vegetable. Salt, fat and yeast were common ingredients, though breads may contain milk, eggs, sugar, fruits, other vegetables or nuts. When sliced and browned by exposure to dry heat, bread is known as toast.
Bread was an food available to the many pilgrims who traveled to see the Emissary's land after 2375. (ST - New Worlds, New Civilizations short story: "A Walk in the Path of the Emissary")
In metaphor[]
Because bread was such a familiar concept to humanoids, many languages refered to it in idiom and metaphor in everyday life.
When Leonard McCoy first met James T. Kirk in the year 2251, he thought of Kirk's hair as "toast-blond". (TOS - Starfleet Academy novel: Cadet Kirk)
