Matter replicators. This just requires the writers to bite the bullet and admit that the distinction between holodeck matter and real matter is horseshit.

We won't have replicators/holodecks for some years yet. (Even if you consider the cartoons and their relatively primitive holodecks to be canon...)

True. On the other hand, for Vulcans, the time from TOS to TNG is about a generation.

Besides, if Spock I points out the possibility, some bright spark might invent it earlier—especially if there are replicators on the Jellyfish.
