Here's an add on I did for food in Traveller

Food Availability and Traveller

etceteration in propitiation to the deitic principle of bandwidth

There are tables and rules that go with this, but I think posting them would be difficult to do because of the formatting.

Actually, there are a couple of things that I think will end up being both ubiquitous and highly variable due to localization:

1. Some sort of cereal or pseudocereal grain processed into dough, then wrapped around a protein of some sort, and cooked. Earth analogues: Dumplings, bao, wonton, samosas, shumai, gyoza, Jamaican meat patties, Cornish pastys, calzones, arguably the sandwich, etc. [Generically might be referred to as something akin to 'hand-meal' in SF]
2. Some sort of cereal or pseudocereal grain, cooked whole (steamed or boiled), and served with boiled pulses or legumes, optionally with a spiced sauce of some sort. Earth analogues: curried dal [lentils] or rajma [kidney beans] or channa [chickpeas], various "ethnic" forms of rice-and-beans, etc.
