Just as a kind of fun thought exercise and as a way of rounding off the last few hundred GP one might have left over when spending WBL before a high level campaign, I was wondering what kind of fun and potentially useful food items might be good to buy for the length of the campaign? I could see all sorts of encounters spiced up (potentially literally) with the introduction of surprising foods like offering Goblins some smoked beef, luring a wild animal with honey, maybe boosting a Diplomacy check with Elf or Dwarf nobility with appropriate quality wines, repelling a vampire with a clove of garlic, things like that. What suggestions do people have for fun culinary items that would surprise and amuse DMs to see? And for that matter, what books have food items like these? The Arms and Equipment Guide is the only one that springs to mind.
(I know that Create Food and Water coupled with Prestidigitation, or Heroes Feast on its own, or perhaps Minor/Major Creation pretty much make this completely unnecessary, but it's a fun thought anyway. I mainly want to do it because my upcoming DM always makes a big deal in other campaigns about having bought lots of soap, using it whenever he gets splattered by a nasty monster, so I want to one-up that with this.)
