From Wikipedia
Bread and salt are offered to guests in a ceremony of welcome in cultures around the world. This pair of foods is particularly significant in Slavic countries, but is also notable in Baltic, non-Slavic Balkan, and Middle Eastern cultures. Bread and salt as a traditional greeting remains common in Albania, Armenia, and among the Jewish diaspora. This tradition has been extended to spaceflight. Additionally, in traditional Slavic folklore, consuming a combination of bread and salt as an offering is believed to be a powerful, last-resort method of wish-making.
