If you hadn't considered it yet, the Culinarian class and information about it might be a good resource.Â

Other than that, I almost think it might be acceptable to draw from real world influences... Let me know if I'm totally off base here, but-...Â
Roegadyn might have some dishes that resemble german cuisine.
Sunseeker Miqo'te might have some dishes that resemble native american or mexican cuisine.
Wildwood Elezen might have some dishes that resemble french cuisine.
Dunesfolk Lalafell might have some dishes that resemble middle eastern cuisine.
Just some assumptions, based on naming, geography, etc. Either way, it will be interesting to see how the game shows these kinds of things.Â
My own characters? I think Hyltwakka will have less of an appetite than most Roegadyn, but smoked salmon (or whatever fish exists) will be a favorite, and he'll be perfectly happy with whatever's common in Gridania or to the Wildwood / Moonkeepers.Â
I really don't have my Sunseeker figured out too much, but I imagine he'll be reluctant to eat anything that he hasn't killed or that someone he's close to hasn't killed. He'll want to know what everything is, how it died, what the person who prepared it was like. Maybe. It sounds like an interesting sort of quirk, and I sort of base it on the fact that he'll be from the Antelope tribe, and he (at least) will feel a sort of honorable, reverent relationship between himself and his prey / food.
edit: There is something called a Tomato Pie... Sounds like pizza.
edit: I might have been a bit off. Maybe.

I'm going to try guessing a little here...
Common with Sea Wolves?
-A fresh, raw oyster, shucked and splashed with a squeeze of sun lemon. (Raw Oyster)
-A tiger cod salted and dried in the sun. (Salt Cod)
-A traditional Sea Wolf dish consisting of pike wrapped in cabbage and steamed until soft. (Stuffed Cabbage)
-Chopped midland cabbage pickled with salt. A staple on all Lominsan trade ships, as it is said to prevent the scurvy. (Sauerkraut)
-A light soup of butter-sauteed whitefish and vegetables. (Fish Soup)
-A complimentary acorn treat baked by the Mizzenmast Inn. May contain nuts. (Mizzenmast Biscuit)
-Apkallu eggs beaten and then cooked in rich butter until fluffy and light. A favorite in Vylbrand's coastal hamlets. (Apkallu Omelette)
An apple-filled pastry shaped to resemble the legendary sunfish. (Pastry Fish)
-A rich bon-bon made from sweet white chocolate infused with heavier-than-air bubbles. (Pearl Chocolate)
-This dark green variety of seaweed found in all five of Eorzea's seas has been known to grow up to a malm in length. (Malm Kelp)
Common with Sunseekers?
-Cactus leaves roasted like a steak and slathered in a colorful vegetable sauce. (Roasted Nopales)
-This vegetable soup is made cold and then heated by inserting a scalding rock. (Stone Soup)
-A roasted artichoke stuffed with a savory blend of pungent cheese and succulent crab meat. (Stuffed Artichoke)
-A thick strip of lean buffalo meat dried in the sun. (Jerked Beef)
-Simple, unleavened bread made of flour and water. (Flatbread)
-A tough piece of meat taken from the upper-leg of an antelope. (Antelope Shank)
-A thick, spiny-leaved cactus indigenous to the southern continent of Meracydia. The Miqo'te are known to treat severe burns with the cool gel-like substance found inside the leaves. (Aloe)
-An edible, oval-leaved cactus brought back by explorers of the New Continent. (Nopales)
-The fruit of a sunflower, this small seed is covered by a thin, black shell. (Sunflower Seeds)
-Hundreds of sweet yellow kernels adorn each cob of this vegetable native to the recently discovered New Continent. (Millioncorn)
Bleh, so many kinds of food... It would be really difficult to try and pin all of it to a certain race, since there's most definitely a lot of cross-over. But I did what I could, and it's still probably not 100% accurate.
