Re: Bard Foods.. So damn expensive!
I agree with Yeargdribble. CHR foods are a placebo - you don't really need them even with only "decent" gear once you hit level 40+. Up until then, it's somewhat useful to reduce resists, but even then the effect is only marginal.

For pulling, defense foods like Tavnazian Taco are great. For long HNM battles like Tiamat, I prefer -enmity food like Roast Mushroom. Other than that, use whatever - I like using Carbonara for the +HP when squaring off against Dynamis Lord.

P.S. I tried overstocking CHR against Antica in the late 40s. Didn't do much - not even after using Enchanting Etude. Once 51 rolled around though, everything smoothed out with elemental staves.
