food templates
Currently there is a template for materials which is the only thing I can find even slightly close to what I'm looking for. I don't think traditions fit either. There should be a template for cuisines and types of foods. Alcohol, stew, breads, fruit, veggies, etc.

Here is my argument as to why I don't think this article template can merely be swept under the rug so to speak by dividing it into other available templates. I am a professional GM who is seeking to do extensive world building. I want every culture and country to feel like a living and breathing entity to my players who decide to cultivate their characters backstories with this world in mind. I have researched how best to make such a thing happen and one of the repetitive topics brought up during my search is cuisine. The arts, religion, traditions are all well and good but one of the most connecting pieces between two cultures is their sharing of cuisine. Slight to distinct matters not, any difference will be noted by players in my game even if subconsciously. However, during the building of their character, when they are looking through all of the many documents, I have written it will be confusing to have every bit of a cultures cuisine to be broken up and divided into these other ill-fitting categories. How will the grasp the importance of a particular method of harvesting a grain for their people when it is simply titled a material? Then to have that article with its meaning be lost when they go to read on traditions and see that for some reason there is a dish written about that has caused turmoil in a community. My player would be forced to bounce around between categories when we all know people are more likely to be retained if there is an easy flow of information. Why not make this ease accessible to those who wish it?
