Greetings fellow Adepts,
It has come to the concern of the Administratum that there is a distinct lack of understanding in the areas concerning foodstuffs of the forty-first millennium.

By all means use this list for reference in your Fiction, Dark Heresy, and Rouge Trader games. I personally am going to make labels to place over the covers of liquor bottles to make them 40k themed. (Hopefully one day I'll be able to cook an entirely 40k meal)

Here is my proposed list of Modern foods that are the equivalent of those one the list. Comments and Debate encouraged.

ACKENBERRY: Acai Berries OR Cranberries
AMASEC: Brandy
BIRRI TRUFFLES: Truffles

Just to let you know, since I saw 'frog' there on that list, 'toad' is still the same, as a creature listed in the "Creature Feature" was a Catachan Barking Toad, which explodes as a defense mechanism. 
"Lift not my head from bloody ground,
Bear not my body home,
For all the earth is Roman earth
And I shall die in Rome."
-G.K. Chesterton, The Ballad Of The White Horse

I cant imagine exploding toad being very tasty, but then again I cant imagine anything from a death world being tasty.....or edible.

As I recall, the Barking Toad also gave of a toxic cloud that killed everything within a mile radius or something equally absurd. So, probably a good policy to just avoid Death Worlds altogether.
"Our end is come, but what an end! We have been given the most precious gift: a chance to roar our defiance into the foe that overwhelms us with their numbers. Let the Emperor Himself hear our final battle cry! Forward, warriors of the Guard, and die like the heroes you are!"
