<br />
The following consists of common or specific '''Redwall Food items''' mentioned throughout the ''Redwall'' series. With the exception of birds, many of which consumed their enemies, and wolverines, which were flesh-eating cannibals, most creatures were vegetarians and/or pescatarians.<br />
<br />
Residents of [[Redwall Abbey]] are known for hosting epic feasts, which often feature large savory dishes and numerous extravagant desserts. Redwall feasts tend to be memorable events, with eating, drinking, singing, and other activities. The great task of ensuring Redwallers are well-fed falls upon a [[The Kitchen|Kitchen Friar]].<br />
<br />
When asked why the ''Redwall'' characters consume fish but not other animals, [[Brian Jacques]] replied "I decided to have a fish as [[Matthias]]' first triumph in ''Redwall'' and then I just continued the tradition. No deep meaning I just did!" <br />
<br />
When it comes to describing ''Redwall'' food, [[Redwall FAQ|Jacques said]] "I just think of what I would like to eat and embellish it. It comes from having a very frugal childhood."<br />
<br />
Official recipes for Redwall Food items can be found in ''[[The Redwall Cookbook]]'', ''[[Tribes of Redwall Otters]]'', the [[2014]] [[User_blog:LordTBT/News:Redwall_Collectors_Community:_Redwall,_2014_UK_edition|Vintage Children's Classics edition]] of ''[[Redwall]]'', and [[Redwall Readers Club]] literature.<br />
