A '''sop''' is a piece of [[bread]] or [[toast]] that is drenched in liquid and then eaten. In [[medieval cuisine]], sops were very common; they were served with [[broth]], [[soup]] or [[wine]], and then picked apart into smaller pieces to soak in the liquid. At elaborate feasts, bread was often pre-cut into finger-sized pieces rather than broken off by the diners themselves. [[French onion soup]], which took its current form in the 18th century, can be considered a modern-day sop.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} |

The word ''[[soup]]'' is a [[cognate]] of ''sop'', both stemming ultimately from the same [[Germanic languages|Germanic]] source. The word is mentioned prominently in the Bible, King James Version (emphasis added): |

{{quote|When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a '''sop''', when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the '''sop''', he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.|{{Bibleverse|John|13:21–26|KJV}}}} |

In 19th century Australia, ''sop'' referred to a dish consisting of stale [[damper (food)|damper]], soaked in cold tea and served with a dollop of jam on top for taste. This was mainly used in prisons and poor-houses, as well as institutions such as asylums. ''Sop'' colloquially stood for ''shit-on-plate'' and was not a desirable dish to be served.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} |

Expressions
The expression milksop describes a person as weak and indecisive. Its connotation is similar to that of "milquetoast".[citation needed]
The term supper derives from sop, and the expression toast of the town derives from the practices of dipping spiced toasted bread into liquid, and of honoring a dinner guest by referring to him or her by that term, which implies he or she adds spice to the dinner party.[1]
