Rome-17 has three separate "gourmet" traditions that exceed (in critics reviews, at least) anything done on Homeline, and the local chefs are secretive, paranoid, and clannish, so the knowledge of exactly HOW they are making all this wonderful food is still not out.

But carefully prepped Homeline muckymucks pay a LOT to eat a fancy meal at their premier establishments, before heading out clubbing on Nergal-4.
I know that no matter how awesome other realities are, I would have to occasionally visit this one if only for Diet Pepsi.

What if some amazing tastes require alternate physics to create, but can exist in Homeline?
Or based on alien organisms. Giant snail mucus jelly is all the rage and quite delicious if you never see it farmed.
