Oh, I might actually try out the crab cakes, because they last a long time and I dislike devoting an inventory slot just to maintain a buff. (Plus, I am the rare player who stacks defense.) I always use gold cheese for healing because I can easily amass so much of it, but I usually go with triple shot espresso and lucky lunch (Krobus cooks for my farmer) for buffs. I'm not that fast, so having both spicy eel and espresso speed buffs is overkill for me.
