Fullness: Every day, you may eat food with a total of up to 15 fullness value. You cannot eat anything which would put you over the 15 limit (unlike drinking). Note that fullness is never displayed, either when you eat the item or in your current status, so you'll have to pay attention yourself.
Note that the hippy herbal tea, ent cider, glass of goat's milk, and Jumbo Dr. Lucifer are "beverages"; while they are drunk, they behave like food, not drinks (that is, they give you fullness points rather than drunkenness points), which is why they're here. Dyspepsi-Cola and Mountain Stream soda, on the other hand, though they appear in the food/drink section, are neither beverage nor food; they're ordinary combat/usable items which don't give you any fullness at all.
Probably the most popular food in the game currently is the chow mein. Pickles are very good, but are expensive due to the rare appearances of the Spectral Pickle Factory. Insanely spicy burritos (either kind) are also a popular choice. Hell ramen used to be the most popular food, but has declined somewhat due to the availability of newer food. Some people also like Key Lime Pies.
Exploded foods: Like bartenders-in-the-box, chefs-in-the-box now occasionally explode after making a large amount of food. When this happens, you get some random foods, including some foods that cannot be made normally.
Note: All items in this table have been updated since Jick last publicly announced that he was changing the food values (on 8/18/04). It is possible that Jick has changed things without announcing, in which case there might be inaccuracies. If you find one, let me know.
All of these recipes should be performed by cooking (duh).
