Sugar is a naturally-derived foodstuff most often used for sweetening other foods or beverages. In general use, non-scientists take "sugar" to mean sucrose, also called "table sugar" or saccharose, a disaccharide (or two-part sugar) which is a white crystalline solid produced from glucose (derived from starches, such as rice and grains) and fructose (derived from plants, such as fruits and vegetables).
In 2151, Trip Tucker asked T'Pol if she wanted a bite of his pecan pie to taste. She refused as that the dessert was "mostly sugar". Trip retorded that it "may not be good for the body, but it sure is good for the soul". (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")
Tango was a horse owned by Christopher Pike at some point prior to 2254. Tango enjoyed eating sugar cubes (sucrose compressed into cube form for ease of service use). He appeared as a part of an illusion generated by the Talosians when they were attempting to forge a bond between Pike and Vina. (TOS: "The Cage")
