Significant changes, but the main point is that a trencher is not simply a piece of bread, but the word is commonly used for a plate or dish of wood or metal that marked the place of a diner at a medieval feast. The piece of bread was commonly placed on this and was also known as a trencher.
Thanks again. Trencherman is in what I now feel is the corect place. But, still, this is not a food item, and the title and the categorization I think ought to be changed, but I don't know enough about the format of Wiki to suggest a specific change. --

I don't know much about the categorization system. I see we have
Portal:Food; maybe someone there would know. This page is pretty short. We might look around for an opportunity to merge it with another, or to combine a few similar topics into one.

I wouldn't recommend merging it. There's tons of material that can be written about trenchers. Just read a few books on medieval and early modern cuisine and you'll see what I mean.
I looked this up because it is a term used by comic character Launce in Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona. It was helpful.
