Nov 28, 2016 at 20:24 comment added SRM @Borsunho: post that question then. "How do I create a sustainable diet?" That's a good question that I do not think has dupe.
Nov 28, 2016 at 17:34 comment added Borsunho @kingledion There is much difference between "things I can eat when I face dying in 3 days" and "things I can eat daily for a month/year and not end up in a hospital deathly sick". Most, if not all, answers from linked question apply only to first situation.
Nov 28, 2016 at 15:49 comment added kingledion Regarding your edit, your question still states 'how does he tell what local delicacies are safe to eat?' That, to me, is answered well by the survival question linked as a duplicate. What is it you really want to know? Is your question: 'given that the protagonist has identified hundreds of safe things to eat, how does he go about making good tasting food?' That is a different, and as far as I can tell excellent, question that maybe you should ask.

Nov 25, 2016 at 9:45 comment added Borsunho @Philipp I though about that, but there is no access to those species on the planet. A lot of workers are Muslim, so mining company didn't bother to bring pigs, and obviously you don't easily let mice on your spaceship. I guess that bistro owner could "order" some mice from Earth.
Nov 25, 2016 at 9:40 comment added Borsunho @Zxu Sending every bit of food to earth is probably too expensive, but I suppose I can google up what tests are used when submitting such application. Thank you.

Nov 25, 2016 at 1:48 comment added zzz Wouldn't you just submit a novel food application and be done with it? Same tests as for GMOs and exotic plants.
Nov 25, 2016 at 1:33 comment added Jesse Cohoon For inspiration watch the cooking channel on cable. There are a lot of shows that showcase unusual, regional foods and equipment. In addition to looking for things that simply aren't edible, look for things that need to be prepared in a certain way, and if not, may be deadly to consume.
