Google suggests that langon, nollip, dewfruit, and naberry are all fictional - or was Gary pulling out something very obscure and archaic? Not sure. I've heard naberry as a last name. Some variation of lingon bery for "langon".

It still amazes me how Gene is our resident EGG-quote genie. "You wish for Gygax quotes relevant to a particular topic? I have them all right here, and instantly." POOF-POOF-POOF-POOF!
Just don't wish for more wishes. He'll put you in an endless time loop!

I was using a threefold sheet of T1/B2/BoD2 menus for a long time but I was never a fan of the the Bod2 one because it seemed glib. Almost sounding like it was based on their contemporary knowledge mixed in with second hand.
Years later looking at BoD2 menu through more informed eyes its just as obviously bad as it seemed. Potatoes, turkey, grog (watered rum), rum, and various odd stews. This is like putting on a George Washington costume and saying "BEHOLD! I AM THE DUNGEON MASTER!!!" I mean that could work but as Yggsburgh showed us it has to be taken very seriously or not at all.
Then I made a looseleaf PHB/B2/T1 that had comparative on a line with B2's extras towards the bottom.
I became very unsatified with this and made this grotesque uneasy reference for myself all stapled together which is a mess that includes everything above and random grabs of anything and everything medieval currency rates, etc.
I never integrated anything from the Gygax D20 series because of the whole Yggsburgh thing going South. I was going to but it has to be looked at just as harsh or whats the point?
I have so many price list messes its like a nightmare. I don't recall what I wrote the prices from. Many are from the 2E Historical references but I need to delouse those big time.

I knew I came to the right place with this inquiry! This is really above-and-beyond great research for which I am extremely thankful. Between all of these references and a handful of Google searches regarding medieval cuisine I feel like I've got a fairly good handle on the topic and now just need to synthesize all of it into a coherent and hopefully-useful digest form as a blog post. Alas, that might still take a while...

Good things are worth waiting for, Trent---loving the attention that you're giving Greyhawk! Allan.
