Notice those attack caps? Thats why I avoid loading up on Attack+ equipment, and go straight for STR.

Dragon Steak is the be-all-end-all food for a melee if you're partying with a bard, as I have reached 750 attack with double Minuet and Berserk in the past.

However, I've stuck with Subs recently, since Buffalo Meat related food has gotten totally out of control due to Bison Steak being part of the one of the NPC quests.

Still, and I'm not sure, but don't you need abjuration to make it?
4 hour food, +7 everything, down the toilet in seconds.
Maybe it's not the best, but I was like, "Damn..." :shock:

Yeah, you do need abjurations to uncurse it, but they drop off other monsters outside of gods/land hnms too. They're even rewards for some BCs.
 
I love ambrosia for roaming parties. +7 hmp takes me to 49 mp on the first tick, so I can get back my mp real fast. I can get the same effect from wizard cookies, but a 3k food that lasts for 4 hours is still nice.
