With all of this discussion about food cassettes I have something to further
complicate matters.  Does any one, besides me, remember the episode with the
turkeys?  I believe this was the second pilot for Startrek and I think it was
titled "Where No Man Has Gone Before".  Any way, it was the one with the kid
with the strange powers who had been living on a planet with non-humans all
his life until he was picked up.  Now that I've started thinking about it,
this episode was not WNMHGB but it was one of the early episodes.  Any way,
back to the turkeys.

In one scene Kirk is talking to a cook (yea there must be cooks on the
Enterprise).  Kirk says something like "If they can't have real turkeys
for *this occasion* (occasion was some holiday), I at least want this stuff
to look like turkeys".  In a later scene the cook calls Kirk and says
something like "I got real turkeys in my oven".  It turned out the kid with
the powers had turned the glop into real turkey.  How's this for a monkey
wrench in all the theorys floating around out there.
