What is the perfect food (dinner type) for DnD? Because my group currently just orders pizza but then the grease gets all over minis and character sheets etc. Sushi was a good option but can get expensive if it's every week. I was curious as to what other people are doing? Best regards A very novice DM.
I've got a DnD evening set in fantasy medieval-ish times coming up and would like to serve up some food since we're gonna be playing for a while. I'd love for it to be in theme with the adventure setting. Do you guys have any ideas/recommendations?
So this is kind of an odd question, but my party and I just started playing DnD this summer. We are all broke high school students who don't like to spend a lot, so far we have been splitting pizzas just because it is convenient, but I know some people in my group struggle to come up with the $10 a week they can throw towards pizza. So what do you guys do for your groups? Pizza is probably the most popular choice, but I'm sure some of you creative chefs out there have good ideas.
What do you guys normally eat for your DnD session if you meet up in person?
Every week, for our weekly session, I cook for my DnD group. They call me Ye Olde Tavern Wench, and it’s a role that I fully embraced! It’s a lot of work to cook every week in a 2 hours time limit, but it’s a labor of love and I do enjoy it. I usually prep the night before or the morning before our session, since I work until the late afternoon. Most of the time I just make what I feel like and ask everyone how they feel about it. This week we are having chicken and waffles, not exactly fantasy inspired, but absolutely delicious.
I have made A LOT of different food throughout our campaign. I’ve made meat pies (children free of course), stews, Shepherd’s pie, pasta, various different types of fried chicken (southern buttermilk fried chicken, Korean fried chicken, Japanese karate ect.), curries, cakes, and different types of bread.
Occasionally I’ll have a theme for the week depending on where we are in the story. For example, when we are resupplying in the story, I make meat pies because those are an easy grab and go food an adventure can expect to buy at a street vendor. Other times I have “standard” tavern foods like grilled meat (usually either chicken or sausage) and potatoes (boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew) and some bread. When we are out in the wilderness in our campaign I would make stew, as if the party hunted and foraged for their dinner. Sometimes we have “rations” that’s usually just a charcuterie board, so it’s a rather luxurious ration in a fictional setting, but it’s better than beef jerky! The most elaborate meal was when the adventure had a meal at a rather upperclass establishment, where I made tapas and paella.
On special occasions I make “potions” for us. It’s usually lingonberry juice or any other red juice in a potion bottle. I add edible glitter and a bigger bottle if it’s a greater or superior healing potion!
I know that there is an official cookbook, Heroes’ Feast that I look through for recipes and inspirations. So I’ve made things from that before as well.
So what do you guys normally do for your sessions? Does one person cook? Do you rotate having people cook? Do you just order takeout? Or is it a your on your own kind of thing?
Also if you think of a food that you recommend for our session, please let me know.
Edit: in additions, there are dietary restrictions for our group that I do take into c

What’s the weirdest food(out of game) that you’ve ever encountered on the snack tray?
Meals, visit to the Zoo, bike ride or even a DnD or a Jam are much better shared w people. Of course would want to follow rona regulations, also got neg. PCR test result yday.
My players are trying to argue that a lizard folk could use purify food and drink to cure a human of poison, while technically it could be true I don't think it would be possible due to the fact that humans aren't necissarily food for all races, and if they want to argue that, technically all races are food. So what is classed as food?
Sekiro Magic Items: Healing Consumables
Part 6
Part 6 of the Sekiro DnD 5e Conversion Project covers the first set of Magic Items: Healing Consumables. Sekiro offers a variety tasty-looking foodstuffs for you to munch on, and they all have varying ways of boosting you up.
This set introduces a healing mechanic that I don't recall coming across before – multi-turn hit point recovery. Instead of getting all of the hit points at once, you regain portions of them over two or three rounds.
As a comparative note, the most basic Sekiro healing consumable is the Pellet, and it heals a total of 4 HP over two rounds. 4 HP is the minimum value of a Healing Potion, which heals 2d4+2 HP instantaneously. If the PHB lists healing potions as 50 gp, how much should a Pellet cost? 5 gp? 1 gp? I'm not sure. Let me know if you have any ideas.
For those who play Roll 20, here are individual images for each healing item that you can upload. Each image is about 200~ kb, so it shouldn't take up too much room in your storage space. Make them into handouts and reveal them to your players the moment they acquire them.

So, I had a silly little idea for a character who was part alchemist, chef, and brewer. Part of their thing would be using strange ingredients to create microbrews, entree dishes, stuff like that. So I’m reaching out to see if anyone has some fun suggestions they’d throw my way that I could bring up during role play of this character!
Whether take away, home cooked, or whatever... I just don’t think my body can take much more pizza.
Considerations:
- Good for sharing
- Compatibility with game play aspects like: —not too messy —doesn’t take up too much space
It can be any foods of any combination.
-
Fish head soup
-
Bullywug legs (Frog legs)
-
Deep fried carrion crawler
-
Chuul claws/legs (crab legs/claws)
I leave the rest of the ideas to you my fellow redditors
This is not a weird promo for either the fast food chain or tabletop simulator or anything. I was just already impressed the company did this to begin with (it's a full-fledged module!), but someone went and recreated the whole freaking thing in tabletop simulator.
Spent a whole 8 hours playing this (or well... like 6. Played some CAH after we were done). Only took off the HMD for bathroom breaks. Even ate and drank while in VR: just turned on the camera to see what I was doing.
I guess this is life now.
Anyway just found the day surreal and wanted to share. Tabletop simulator is kinda buggy and unintuitive in VR, but still hella fun!
He was an imp-pasta.
I am fairly new to dnd and found that there isn’t a really clear answer to how food works. Appreciate it a lot it you guys could help me out.
