I'm going through my novel in the editing stages, and I'm realizing how flat the culture of my food is. How can I develop a good food culture that is believable without drawing too much on human aspects of food culture? The main part I'm struggling with is describing the food.   

(FYI, my creatures are elf-like and war-oriented, the kind of food I'm thinking about "creating" is more strange-ly colored and with weird texture.)
