The art of writing food is indeed a lost art. If you read nineteenth century literature all the characters are eating victuals (or fictuals) - food created by authors, this was real food written into life by the author and transferred into the books by secret authorial means.

Dickens once threw out an entire dinner scene, which fed the poor of Lambeth for over a month.
