TBH - Buttons in a Blanket and La Noscean toast. Covers everyone.

Mulled tea is pretty bad on a SCH, you don't need the pie or spell speed, buttons in a blanket is much better. Mulled tea is more of a cheap alternative than anything else...

While Mulled Tea is probably good for WHM (I'd also say Buttons in a Blanket), for SCH I'd probably go for an egg dish like deviled eggs, due to the importance of crits for them. Bard is likely in the same boat, as well as any other job where crits do something special. As Determination is useful for all classes, it could be looked at as a "default" food stat to go for. The downside is, of course, with everyone flocking to it prices are going to be quite higher than other options. So, probably worth considering what OTHER stats you might need.

I use HQ stuffed cabbage on my mnk for Coil. Anywhere else I use buttons.

I'd recommend not to use the two-star foods, like ever. For almost the entirety of the player population they are a downgrade from the next highest tier food simply because their % bonuses are so low.

Since Apkallu eggs are usually a nightmare to get, I would recommend Knight's Bread as a very affordable and easy-to-make alternative for tanks. If you HQ it I think the stats are equal to NQ Toast, as well.

Hey, Loved this list and i got bored at work and end up adding details into this list for my personal use; figured i ll post it. :)
