I like to avoid food from our world, I feel it increases immersion and takes people into a more alien state of mind. These are some of the things I've done.
1. Ice cream, candy, desserts, etc. that taste like emotions, sensations, and experiences.
2. Meats from made up animals, roast pig seal, boiled great lake roach, mutton from the deep sea eel sheep
3. Fruits and Veggies with fantastic non-magic properties: glowing, squealing, etc
4. Fantastic food colors: gold, silver, swirling colors, rainbow, clusters of cut diamonds, or transparent
I have a campaign based entirely off of this. I have 78 magical/scientific food items I think, a subclass for each class that is food themed, and actually two campaigns made for the subclasses.
Well ones I can think of off the top of my head are called Angel Breath Honey, Depth Cola, Lava Oil, Mint Pepper, Jeweled Apple, Liquid Taste, and Lycan Coffee Beans.
Angel Breath Honey is produced by my sorcerer subclass, so it's magic, and they then carbonate it. The magic gives it an incredibly unique taste, and the carbonation makes it light and have a great texture. Depth Cola is a cola found deep in the Underdark, with an incredibly sweet flavor, and dark color. Lava Oil has an incredibly low boiling point, but doesn't evaporate until very high temperatures. It lets you fry cold foods, and make extremely light and fluffy deep fried breading at higher temperatures. Mint Pepper is a kind of pepper that only grows in volcanic areas. It absorbs heat to grow, and the plant itself exudes cold air when it released oxygen. It also has a mint powerful enough to equate to a ghost pepper. Jeweled Apple is made in a transmutation ritual, that takes a lot of gold, sugar, and a single apple. It has an extremely sophisticated taste, and a high sugar content in a single bite. Liquid Taste is an ancient substance only found in dungeons. It is like water, but somehow has an incredible amount of taste, which isn't specific. It will add more taste to any dish when used in place of water. Lycan Coffee Beans will transform during a full moon. Normally they have a bitter taste, but their bitterness fades when transformed, and they have an advanced flavor that a coffee taster could easily enjoy. Their smell also alerts any wererats, and they search them out for their rarity.
I have a Bakery in all my campaigns( usually run by a God who loves interacting with mortals) called " Fantastic Cakes and where to Eat them " Just some of the menu I can remember off the top of my head
Owlbear claws - Bassicly honey buns Black Bread ( made from pudding) also gives a slight resistance to acid for a few hours Elvinbread - Just one slice keeps you full for a full day Purple Gummy Worms
Also in every tavern, I have a type of Ale called Red Dragon Fire Whiskey but Unless You're a Dragonborn or Dwarf you have to make a Con 25 or be knocked unconscious
I've accidentally created a sort of magic ultra-hyper layered coffee, with a super concentrated hit of caffeine at the bottom which gives the drinker advantage on initiative and stops it sleeping for a while. Don't have a cool name for it though, it just kind of happened.
A certain Metagaming NPC in all of my campaigns has his "special wine" that makes players hallucinate visions of characters they've been in other campaigns...
Well, I'm not sure if this counts, but there's a running joke in my campaign about sandwiches. When they were at a tavern, one of my players ordered bread and another ordered cheese. However, the one that ordered bread refused to share his bread, claiming that sandwiches weren't invented yet. So now, whenever they eat bread or cheese they go out of their way to eat them separately.

I'm playing a fighter in a campaign and the DM(So do I) likes the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, so my character got a dwarven cupcake(It's a weird campaign), and the artificer made it a returning weapon with an infusion.
I am a DM/GM by my name and i am trying to make a campaign with my friends/family and i need food ideas this was very helpful but, this is not enough i still thank you though and i am not very creative could you also if you can, get some winter related foods our campaign is in a town that is almost year-round snowing/snowy you don't have to but, i would appreciate it if you would.

Does anyone else do anything similar?

Here, have some homebrew classes! Subclasses to? Why not races. Feats, feats as well. I have a lot of magic items. Lastly I got monsters, fun, fun times.
I need examples of your foods... immediately. So curious.

I'm stealing all of this
Sure, why not, lol. It was fun to make them, at least until I was getting stumped around 60 of them.

I would also like to steal this if you don't mind :)

This site has a lot about food that might be useful:
