Favorite EQ food & drink items?

[Portasaurus]

I'm curious if anybody out there has any special affinity toward certain food or drink items in the classic EQ world? Maybe you prefer Elven Bread and Bottle of Milk for your Wood Elf, while your Iksar fancies Earthworm Munch and Bloodwater?

For me -- if we're talking lunch -- it just doesn't get much better than the classic Vegetable Soup with a Mammoth Sandwich.

For dinner, you really can't go wrong with Smoked Shark. I like to put an entire Bag of Sea Salt on top before I cook it. I find that it really locks in the flavor.

And nothing does a better job to wash it all down than some crisp, cold, fresh-brewed Karana Brown Tea. The trick is to throw in an Ice of Velious into the jug right after it finishes brewing. Once the ice melts, it really helps to cut into some of the bite of the otherwise bitter Karana Tea Leaves.

If you're going to go on a bit of a binge I've found that veggie trays are friggin awesome. They give you real energy and make you feel good the whole time between real meals [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

In Velious?

Fuzzlecutters Formula 5000 (last 4x Longer than Water Flasks $$$)
Iron Rations (Last an okay amount, nothing baked is worth the effort for minor duration increase)

In PoP though? Once Tradeskills got real?

FOOD:

HP:
Bristlebanes Party Platter - 75 HP/Mana and 10 to all stats (no CHA). This Combine (yield 2) requires quite a few dropped pieces / foraged pieces from the Planes. This is 'end-game' food, and no drop. Only really viable for GM Bakers.
Tormentor Stir Fry - 50 HP and 8 to AGI / STA / DEX. This Combine (yield 3) requires 1 dropped piece from PoTorment and a subcombine for Fish eggs.

Mana:
Bristlebanes Party Platter - 75 HP/Mana and 10 to all stats (no CHA). This Combine (yield 2) requires quite a few dropped pieces / foraged pieces from the Planes. This is 'end-game' food, and no drop. Only really viable for GM Bakers.
Vann Toe Stew -45 Mana and 3 STR. This Combine (yield 1) requires 1 dropped piece from the water giants in BoT.

Resists

All Resists:
Bucket of Crab Legs - 40 HP/MANA and 5 SV all. This Combine requires 1 dropped piece from regrua (crabs) from PoWater. -- 1 dropped piece is worth 4 food with no fails.
Mephit Meat Pie - 30 HP, 5 STA, and 5 SV all. This Combine (yield 2) requires 1 dropped piece from mephits across planar zones.
Boar Chops - 5 SV all. This Combine (yield 1) requires 1 dropped piece from Boars in PoTactics.
Holy Cake - 5 SV all. This Combine (yield 6) requires 1 dropped piece from Brownies in several Faydwer zones.

Poison / Disease:
Swamp Rat Crunchies - 15 SV DR/PR. This Combine (yield 2) requires 1 dropped piece from swamp rats in PoDisease (only the SWAMP rats).

Cold / Fire:
Triloun Tail Soup - 30 HP/MANA and 10 SV FR/CR. This Combine (yield 2) requires 1 dropped piece from water mephits in PoWater.


DRINK:

HP:
-None-

Mana:
Vile Sarnak Brew - 50 Mana and 10 CR. Dropped in Chardok by a Alchemist's Acolyte (an!?)

Resists

All Resists:
Kaladim Constitutional - 5 STA and 5 SV all. This Combine (yield 4) requires 2 ground spawns in Kaladim. -- Can set up a mule here to pick up 7 of each ground spawn each cycle. Unsure on respawn time, but its easy to load up on them if you log on every day or when you log on and before you log out each time you check these.

Poison / Disease:
Planar Blood Brew - 3 STA / STR and 10 SV DR/PR. This Combine (yield 3) requires 3 dropped pieces, 2 from PoNightmare (slargihlug and mephits) and 1 from CoD (bubonians). -- Honestly this isn't all that worth your time to farm since the above drink is far easier to make in mass... but for min/maxers, it exists.


For totals of having both drink and food for all situations:

Bristlebane Party Platter
Bucket of Crab Legs
Swamp Rat Crunchies
Triloun Tail Soup

Vile Sarnak Brew
Kaladim Constitutional
Planar Blood Brew

Mixing and matching the above you can either gain:

75 extra HP
125 extra Mana
10 SV all
25 SV PR/DR
20 SV CR/FR

Praise PoP in all its glory. So many tasties to obtain!

Please disregard my stupid post [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I didn't read and I can't edit it lol.

Daldaen confirmed too practical.

Bat-wing cruchies are a classic and prolly my favorite as they are the only one I remember from way back.

For drink? Prolly black-burrow swig, b/c I am a good rogue with great hatred for the gnolls and great love for burning rapiers.

I would like to be a grain-free vegetarian, but this is so difficult in modern Norrath. As things are I'm basically forced into "Raw Till 4" veganism with foraged plants, and summoned bread in the evenings. Thank Tunare that the bread is at least made with traditional einkorn wheat which is ofc comparatively low in gluten and other anti-nutrients; but if more nourishing and healthy options are not made available in Velious I will cry.
