In my fantasy campaign Tapestry, the player characters were seagoing merchants. They started out carrying smoked salmon to a city-state whose rivers didn't have salmon; they ended up exploring another continent and bringing back spices and chocolate. A significant share of the cargo was high-value foods. . . .

The trick is preserving the chocolate.

And here I thought just planning dinner menus for the family was complicated . . .

The advantage of writing is that you can often elide the meal, or the food served at it. At dinner, people tend to object.

I certainly would expect C to protest if I elided dinner!
