For those of a culinary persuasion, or if you just like to eat and want to know a bit more about the flavors involved. This list will give you some examples of canonical foods and their real-life equivalents.

This list is by no means exhaustive, and can be added to. Be sure to message a storyteller in-game if you have an idea for a type of ingredient, or something you'd like an analog for!

Please also note! - None of these analogues are exactly the same as their real-life counterpart. So be sure to check their info before referencing how they look. Some of the colors, backgrounds or descriptions are VERY different to their RL equivalent!
