In my case, Mister Bucket for Assembly had a lot of food in it for a couple of reasons: firstly, I’m interested in food and its preparation, and secondly, it gave me a good way to bring in the gendered nature of work.

From experience, I think that fantasy authors sometimes spend time addressing food because, like the “butter-pie” example in the article, we invent food and then have to explain it. You couldn’t just put “I ate some touryin”, for example, without talking about what “touryin” is.
There is also, as mentioned, the fact that taste is such a key sense to us – there’s a reason gluttony is a seperate sin to greed or lust, and why memories are so easy to recall when we taste certain things – and talking about food helps bring us into whatever world we are reading about. Whether it’s something we eat all the time or something that only exists on those pages, it has the power to create a link into that world.

Yes, food is such an important part of culture (and says so much about it) that if you’re making up a culture you need to consider their food.
