Britannicus
Acolyte
I write SF, and historical fantasy (loosely set in Late Antiquity). In the SF novels, most people are eating processed food rations in tablet or powder form, and fresh food without chemicals of any kind is a great luxury (our world is already moving in that direction).
In the historical novels it's important not to include anachronistic stuff like potatoes, tomatoes and tobacco. I don't think George R. R. Martin (whose novels have a European medieval/early Renaissance feel to them) is careful enough here.
