The original question has been answered, but I wanted to add one more thing in here (food related)... I would love to see new types of foods incorporated into the game.

I have Pie, it's all I need!
Daniel.
A gently fried snail slice is absolutely delicious with a pat of butter...
There could be some new kinds of pie, cleverly hidden and with some small, permanent bonus given to anyone who ate them?
Blueberry pie: +to willpower
Cherry pie: +to vitality
Meat pie: +to strength
Chicken pie: +to dexterity
Just a few brainstormed possible suggestions.
You know you're screwed when the light at the end of the hallway is an onrushing ogre wielding a torch.

Athletics is one way to stop worrying about food consumption; if you made a few insect characters that really helps too.
If you are having food problems be wary of some magic items...

Yeah, I'm wearing one of those. But it seemed to be the worst when I just hit level 5. I actually had more food entering level 6, and I made it a habit to visit a certain hallway, until I had myself a decent reserve.

But it turned out not to be a problem at all, because

Level 13 is literally stocked with food, and the creatures there are pretty weak, so even with half AP it wasn't hard to finish them off. After clearing out level 13, I had plenty of food to do the end battle.
