Sorry I’m not too clear about my meaning of basic food. I mean a foodstuff, not prepared food, and not a drink; so for example truffles could be the answer (though it isn’t!), but a wedding cake could not be the answer.
So be as extravagant as you like.

Wine not being basic food, it does not qualify.
Basic does noy include extravagant items then.
Flour?
People are complaining about the soaring prices!
