It's Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me by Richard Fariña.
Food is mentioned quite a bit. I'll post a few quotes. They're phone screenshots.
This meal almost reads like a regular Peat meal:
The protagonist carries pieces of cheese in his rucksack that he takes out and eats like a snack. The kind of thing you start doing after you get into Peat, no? I've certainly done it.
This is a list of the kinds of food sophomores eat (it's a campus novel). Not everything here is strictly Peat-approved, but it's certainly closer to it than the average meals of today:
Great novel by the way. I didn't expect it to be great by mere virtue of the author being Thomas Pynchon's friend, but yeah, it's actually great.
