Renegade's Magic by Robin Hobb. The story is total shit, but she gets really into the food descriptions. I read it every time I eat.

bump with on-topic
This series has interesting descriptions of all sorts of food items. All hilarious; in pic related, he allows us to witness the creation of Vegemite.

OP here. I loved the part where they talked about the pigs tail. I think it was in this book, or maybe it was in a different book from the series. I also remember the lunch of hard boiled eggs and bread. Such simple food, but it sounded amazing. I read that book so much as a kid, especially when I ate.

No surprise there. Have you seen this guy?

Seriously though, Martin knows his way around food descriptions. Even something as simple as bread and onions sounds like a feast in fantasy novels.

I haven't read it in many years, but I seem to recall On the Road having some pretty good food bits.
