Is there a list of prices for mundane foods like vegetables, dairy, fruits, spices and such? The trade goods show some of them but I'm hoping there is like a list of all the others.
There isn't a comprehensive list outside of what's presented in the Player's Handbook. That provides a selection of basic examples, but it's down to the DM to extrapolate from there.

For a list of “all the others” would take a book bigger than the PHB, the DMG, and the MM combined. There are dozens of varieties of just radishes for example. Thousands of types of cheeses, the list goes on. I usually use a conversion similar to this and use 1960 US prices.
1 cp = 10¢
1 sp = $1
1 ep = $5
1 gp = $10
1 pp = $100
For an example, in 1960 a bottle of beer might cost 20-30 cents, so a beer/ale in my D&D is 2-3 cp.
I think that an average person makes 1 gp per day. The average person in the U.S.A. makes $133 per day (I got that from a knowledge panel in Google, so its not very accurate), so a gp is around $100. A steak costs about $7, so in dnd it would cost 7 cp.

Thanks for the reply guys. I actually thought of looking through the old editions to see if there are any and sure enough there is. 2nd edition PHB has them under "Household Provisionings" and 3.5 edition's Arms and Equipment guide have them under "Edible Items". I can use those.
