In the event that you are not sure what to bring to the “scrap picnic,” below is a list of foods mentioned in a few chapters. This is by no means an exhaustive list!
But you also might think like Joyce and try to create a culinary pun. For example, in The Odyssey, the Lestrygonians are cannibals. So perhaps you could make gingerbread men and women? Or, the title of the book that Bloom buys for Molly is called The Sweets of Sin. Since sin came through eating an apple, perhaps some sort of apple dessert? You get the idea. Let me know if you come up with any good ones.
