Dungeons & Dragons - The Great List of Food & Drinks

This page is intended to be a resource for dungeon masters who are looking for information on what type of food and drink the adventurers of their campaign might come across in a fantasy setting. I can't tell you how many times I've had to gloss over what's on a menu at a tavern in-game. It's a hard thing to come up with on the spot.

In this article I have compiled lists of food, meals, drinks, and magic items somehow relating to food. It should be very easy for you to pick out things real quick for your inns and for those special times when the heroes eat a meal with a lord or king to either be given a quest or to be interrupted and attacked by ninjas sent by the king's evil brother.

All You Really Need is Right Here

The best resource I found was the Official D&D Tavern Generator, which includes menus. Really this is all you need for your heroes if they are in a conventional fantasy setting.

Greyhawk Menu

Here's how Gary Gygax did a menu in the classic Temple of Elemental Evil adventure. It includes lots of references to kingdoms near the village of Hommlet:

Keep on the Borderlands

There is a tavern in the keep of this classic Gary Gygax adventure. Here's the menu:

Drinks:

• ALE 1 e.p.
• SMALL BEER 1 s.p.
• WINE 1 e.p.
• HONEY MEAD 1 g.p.
• BARK TEA 1 s.p.

Food:

• ROAST JOINT 2 g.p.
• SOUP 1 s.p.
• STEW 1 e.p.
• ROAST FOWL 1 g.p.
• BREAD 1 c.p./slice 
• CHEESE 1 s.p./wedge
• PUDDING 1 s.p./bowl 
• FRUIT 1 s.p.

Essential Sources

I have scoured official D&D products to pull out useful stuff. Originally I thought I'd have to pore over every sourcebook and module, but it turns out that Dragon Magazine has had a couple of articles that really cover this topic quite well. This post will be a compilation of those articles, and any food and drink I find in official D&D products.

If you want just one article to cover all your bases (aside from the above tavern generator), go get Dragon #418. There's an article in there called "Inns in an Instant". It is utterly fantastic. It has everything: charts for making inns, names for innkeepers, lists of inn names, lists of NPCs, atmosphere charts... it's unreal. There's three pages of food and drink options. Here's an example of just one of the nine charts of food and drink:

For 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons, food, drink and lodging are covered on page 158 of the player's handbook as well as on the free online basic rules site under "Equipment". I have tried to assemble the food under the guidelines of "Poor", "Modest", "Wealthy" and etc. I also found a few articles in old issues of Dragon Magazine on magic food and drink. I will include them as well, following the mundane listing.

Elven Food

Almost all of this is from the mind of Ed Greenwood, who is utterly amazing. I found this at Candlekeep.

Vegetables (eaten raw, sometimes diced and fried with herbs and other vegetables):

• Cress
• Leek (also chives, hotwhips [spring onions], searshoots [wild Faerûnian vine onions]: These last are a staple of elven cuisine, and if left to dry until fall, can grow as hot as garlic, but never give elves "garlic breath")
• Parsley
• Coushoots (the green, growing "new" shoots of certain forest vines, such as Chokevine and Thaelthorn)
• Greenspear (asparagus, a staple with many elves, both raw and steamed with herbs)
• Various ferns, from fiddleheads to stewed broadleaves
• Brownbuds (brown Faerûnian wild forest radishes)

Fruits:

• Many sorts of berries
• Rhubarb
• Roseapple (a mild-flavored apple-like fruit that grows at the thorny junctures of a particular sort of forest vine, the "rosethorn," that grows abundantly in the Heartlands)
• Aelfengrape Fruit (A handful of these provides the nourishment equivalent to an entire meal - see Dragon Magazine #357)

Soups (usually served cold):

• Leek
• Turtle
• Blalatha (certain mushrooms, diced and then boiled)
• Darblalatha (certain mushrooms, diced, then fried with leeks, and then the mixed result is boiled)
• Haendur (simmered glow worms, seasoned with particular sharp-tasting leaves)
• Blackbark (literally, the stewed bark of four or five different sorts of forest bushes; tastes and looks a little like a thick beef stew)
• Snake (four sorts, beheaded and then boiled until skins separate from flesh; skins, like heads, are discarded)

Meat and Fish Dishes (some elves eat flesh, some do not):

• Seared Rabbit
• Thaenwing (spiced-and-diced grouse, partridge, quail, and woodguth [wild turkey]; most elves are revolted at the thought of eating owls, whom they deem "intelligent souls," and believe dining on raptors brings misfortune on oneself and one's kin)
• Silvereyes (fish stew, of silverflash and other small forest stream fish)
• Sornstag (roasted hotspice [equivalent of curried] venison)
• Surkyl (beaver: belly-slashed to insert leek and herbs, then rolled in clay and fire-baked, to remove hide and quills with hardened mud shell) 
• Hooroun (moose, always marinated with particular herbs to counteract the natural seasonal tastes of spruce in winter and spring [when moose have been eating evergreen tips] and swamp in summer and fall [when moose have been grazing on swamp vegetation])
• Lulleth (muskrat and equivalents [from shrews and voles to "branchcats," which are a tree-climbing Faerûnian cross between a mink and a raccoon], usually simmered into a thick stew; most elves dislike boar, but when they do eat it, treat it in this same way)
• Groundsnake (beheaded and roasted on skewers over a fire)

Trail Food:

• Various nuts and dried berries
• Mintnut cheese
• Taece (fire-dried tiny forest-stream fish, that look a little like brown, finger-length sardines, contain a lot of fat, and are "crunched" [eaten whole, bones and all])
• Marruth (sometimes disparagingly called "root pies" by dwarves and humans): pastries into which cooked spiced and herbed mashes of vegetables have been baked, and then let cool, and then rolled into rallow leaves (heavy, oily, waterproof broadleaves) to keep them from rotting, and carried for eating cold when on the move

Desserts:

• Mint jelly
• Tarts made of various berries, sweetened with a mash of berry juices 

Quaffs/Slakes (non-alcoholic):

• Sprucebark quaff (cleanses palate/freshens breath before meals and after)
• Mintwater
• Various berry-juice drinks (unfermented)

• Fire Fruit: (2 sp) A fruit that is deadly to all but fire-resistant beings. This fruit comes from the plane of fire and it burns with a soft flame. You blow out the flame and then eat it immediately. Once extinguished, this fruit goes bad in minutes. Vendors serve them with tongs.
• Arborean Fireseeds: Snack food from Arborea. Usually sold in sacks of a few dozen, when this seed comes into contact with water, including saliva, it erupts into a soft, harmless flame. Not enough to see by or burn, but it provides an interesting sensation in the mouth as it dissolves, having a vague smoky flavor to it. (Planescape: Torment)
• Gar-Bar Root:  This small treat is a rubbery material usually sold in small cubes that, when chewed, produce a strong, almost overpowering sweetness that quickly dulls over time. Gar-bar root is slightly addictive, though controllably so in most people, and is not meant to be swallowed. (Planescape: Torment)

• Sea-Plums: (Planescape: Torment) Pit-less, blue-green fruit. The rind is sour, meat is sweet combining for a pleasant meal.
• Fiendspice: Known fiendspices include devilwort, goryenne, and mephosweat. These spices in normal conditions can be quite hazardous to mortals, wreaking havoc on their digestive processes and even causing damage in great enough quantities. However, in areas of natural blandness, such as the Ethereal Plane, the effects of these spices are subdued enough that they can be safely consumed by mortal beings.

Magic Food

Sweetheart's Confection (10 gp) A heart-shaped fey confection that is split into two halves and shared between lovers before they part company for a time. They gain an emotional bond until they see each other again, sensing the other's emotions.

Feybread Biscuit: This is hard but nutritional, and gives you extra hit points when you heal for the next 12 hours.

Droth: Also known as “demon’s blood,” droth is a black, sticky substance made from the blood of demons. When smeared on the eyes, it cures certain sorts of blindness in some individuals, and when ingested, it can help to cure  diseases. It is also effective in battling green slime.

Moonhoney: The dung of Abyssal groundworms, it is a smoky-tasting and delicious. Its name comes from its consistency and appearance , and it gains sweetness in direct moonlight. It can neutralize poisons and is an ideal trail food for wayfarers of all kinds, who can readily carve it into handy chunks.

Blood Apricots: These grow in Hell or in places where a lot of blood has been spilled. The fruit is a rich orange-red and it grows darker if given a taste of blood. You can put your own blood in it (storing hit dice). Within 12 hours, whoever eats the fruit gains hit points.

Fey Cherries: These grant protection from evil to those who consume them. Once picked, it retains its property for a single day. The spell gentle repose can lengthen this. Fey cherry trees only create cherries once every decade, making these quite rare. A healthy sapling sells for 3,000 gold.

Flame Clove: (20 gp) A garlic herb infused with energy from the Elemental Plane of Fire. When blended into food, it can keep a meal hot for d4 days.

Stone Cheese: This appears to be a yellow disc 2 inches in diameter. When placed in boiling water for half a hour, the cheese swells to 14 inches in diameter and 5 inches thick. It tastes like sharp cheddar and is fresh for one week.

Everloaf: An enchanted loaf of bread. It always remains fresh. If half of the loaf is intact and the other half is eaten, it regenerates the missing bread in one hour. If you pour a liquid through a slice, the bread will detect poison by turning black. 

Purple Pears: (Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden pg 228) Netherese wizards created pear trees tended by nymphs that grew special purple pears. Eating more than half of a pear grants the benefit of a special random charm. Eating more than 3 within an hour causes the creature to become poisoned.

The purple pears that grow on the trees offer magical effects, including the ability to cast a spell a few times:

• 3x Druidcraft (PH pg 236)

Primal Fruit: (Tasha's Cauldron of Everything pg 168) Magic fruit! The plant produces 1d6 pieces of primal fruit every week. The fruit remains potent for 1 week. If you eat one, you roll on a chart to see how you are affected. Effects include healing 3d8+4 HP, resistance to 1 damage type, benefits of a death ward spell, and gaining advantage on saves vs. spells.

Dream Pastries: (Curse of Strahd Revamped pg 125) These look and taste like small mincemeat pies. Eating one: CON sv DC 16 or fall into a trance for 1d4+4 hours. While in the trance, the creature dreams of being in some joyous place far removed from the evils of the world. 

Bow's End Snacks: (Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos pg 129) These snacks are served during the Magister's Masquerade, a special event/ball on campus:

• Eel rolls with sticky rice, jalapeno-infused honey-ginger sauce, and wriggling eels.
