    I always use cookies on BLM anymore, although I recently discovered (even though I think it's been around quite awhile) that there's a HQ food, Silken Smile, that's 4 hours, group effects, same hMP and +2 INT, which I would probably use if I'd ever finished Cooking and was going to do something on BLM for 4 hours without dying.

    Melon Pies+1...Cream Puffs might be a good choice since I'm Elvaan but I like the hMP.

    ginger cookies (cheap :D) for my whm/blm/smn, and sole sushi for my blu

    i dbox the sushi because i have inventory problems and i dont play blu as much as i'd like, ginger cookies are just practical to carry around for me (and my dream cap +1 gives them to me for free )

    Wizard Cookies are my main staple for both RDM and BLM. If I'm meriting, Goblin Mushpot or Marron Glance for RDM. And Cream Puffs or Melon Pies +1 for BLM if we're doing Gods/Kirin/Omega/Ultima etc. Otherwise cookies! Those delicious yummy...cookies. /drool

    I always carry a stack of Melon Pies +1 on me at all times. As nice as the INT-bonus from a Cream Puff is, I find the lack of even a tiny bit oh MPh+ to be a major downside in MP recovery and can slow down a solo (especially those requiring rests in between sleeps), a manaburn, and also gods and jailers, among other things. Among that, Melon Pies give additional MP and hey, that's always a plus.

    Also, if I have money to throw away and I'm bored, I'll sometimes use Vermillion Jelly as well. Same MPh+ as Melon +1, plus an additonal INT point and large MP+ bonus.

    I dont usually eat food on blm. I'm cheap and die too often (I dont mind wasting food but on blm I'll forget to eat again after raise) and too lazy to pop cookies every time I rest.

    RDM & SCH here. I like Sweet Rice Cakes for a little bit of everything for 99% of things. 2k for a stack of food is hard to beat. But if I'm doing something where my stats really, really, matter, I'll invest in something like Mushroom Stew. I tried cookies briefly, but I could never remember to chow down on one every time I knelt for MP.

    For RDM I tend to use marron glace or coffee cake muffins (I'm elvaan, so it helps me for rdm).

    This, but for RDM it depends on what I'm doing. If merit party, then marron glace; if HNM etc stuff then either mushroom stew or mushpot.

    When I use food on RDM, I use Mushroom Stew. Stuff's fantastic for support roles, it would be my preference for Light Arts SCH as well.

    Im liking Cherry Muffins+1 lately 85mp and +2INT for both RDM and BLM, I know lolmp on BLM but being Elvaan i find it kind of useful to get some extra mp sometimes.I also use Tacos sometimes in Dynamis to survive bad pulls or in Bhaflau or Silver Sea Mega Boss fights.

    Those are kind of weird choices when Im not using the more standard foods like Puffs, Pies+1, Mushpots etc...

    RDM I use stew or if we're doing something where I need to stack on MND gear, I'll have a goblin mushpot for +10

    For BLM, I don't have a very good hmp set so I carry cookies on it.

    BLM - (Shit's situational) Melon Pie +1, Cream Puff or Wizard Cookie. Depends entirely what I'm doing.
    WHM - Merron Glace if I eat anything.
    SMN - I really don't ever eat food on SMN. If I do, Glace probably or cookies.

    I used wizard cookies 90% of the time, now and then I'd munch a melon pie +1 if I was doing something where MP wasn't an issue.

    And let's not forget Ambrosia, also surprised nobody mentioned brain/sophic stew and crimson/royal jelly

    Oh and when I used to manaburn xp, before the group aoe foods came out, chocomilk and chocodelight were nice and cheap for long parties.

    Is there a recipe for that yet, or still only questable?

    Melon Pie +1 for most any BLM situation. If I really need the 2 extra int over the pie, I'd go ambrosia instead of cream puffs. Since I already have around +30 in hMP gear, cookies really don't cut it for me.

    It's not all that popular, but I think Buche-Au-Chocolat is a fairly nice BLM food. The HQ Sylvan Excursion is even nicer, but there is no market for it and I have to synth it myself.

    Although these days I don't bother with anything more than ginger cookies.
