Does anyone buy our cooked foods?Follow

I've got my cook who's finally up to a decent skill level. Aside from throwing tons of +sta/spi foods at my friends and alts, I'm wondering about selling them to players. Has anyone had any luck selling food? I'm looking to start at the +6 sta/spi variety (goblin deviled clams and the omletes). Care to share on the prices you set? Thanks.
some food sells well like the nutty fish at the end of the game that add int and agi buffs, and BBQ Buzzard wings sell because they are needed for a quest, thats all i know of. jsut eat it, and enjoy.
I tried selling several types in AH and didn't have much success. I was even pricing at about the same as equivalent vendor food but wasn't having luck, so I stopped doing it.
The components do sell sometimes though, just not the finished product. (seems to be a theme in tradeskills...)
Lately I've completely run out of self made food as the stuff I've been fighting hasn't been stuff that drops food components. To tell you the truth I haven't really noticed any difference in my hunting ability without the food. It's nice having a buffer of a few extra stam/health but it's not required. Could be useful in raids I suppose...

that's the main problem with food...the buffs it gives aren't great enough to be "required". take FFXI as an example of how food affects your stats. if you didn't use food, some people would actually get mad at you.
in WoW, the extra stam/spi, like you said, doesn't affect the game play too much. there are some nice foods that give HP/MP regen while eating or MP regen for a few minutes. but even those can be overcome.
the main thing in WoW is that the skills and armor and weapons requirements is a little less required. you can still advance fairly well with gear that is 10+ levels behind.
it's like the players who think their racial abilities of +5 mace or +5 swords really helps them. it really doesn't...you can still kill things being -20 pts from your max.

The most important aspect of why food doesn't sell is because everyone can make it. And because like the previous person said, it doesn't help _that_ much.

The main reason is because it doesn't help that much i think.
Hope more useful recipe in future.

Well my opinion is: every little bit helps. If you leave all the little bits you'll miss out on stuff. And of all the times you die just befor giving final blow you regret not eating those spicey spider legs :D. Thing is 20 food gives you only 5 hour of buffs that aint that mutch and i think thats why people won't pay.
I played a little web based mmorpg there food was the only item that regained health fast (except for spells) so it selled pretty good. I do regret that wow hasn't made food more valuable.

the food definetly sells, i always ask someone to make me some food with the things i collect from creeps and turn it into something. I was want some food with me just incase my healthstone isnt good enough and have to reheal myself, im a warlock.
Food does not sell for that much. Everyone has it because it is a Secondary profession. Only stuff that will probably sell is +Resistance. Cooking is mainly for yourself.
There are some foods that sell because people need them for quests. I do not have their name available right now, but I know there are some.

The deviate delight sells because people like the wacky effects.
Same deal with Dragonbreath Chili,,,it sells because people who don't cook want to try the funny visual. I can usually get more money for the Flame sacs(Chili ingrediant)

I wish they'd bring back the fish that adds the AGI buff. It's currently not fishable supposedly because it's "winter" squid. You can catch plenty of "summer" bass right now though, which when cooked gives a SPI buff only. Nightfin soup gives a mana regen buff, and sunscale salmon gives an hp regen buff. If I wasn't feeding it all to my pet in copious amounts, I'd definitely be trying it out on my character.
Like it's been said before, I agree with the fact that cooking won't make you that much money because anyone can do it. It's like being a maid, people hire them because they're lazy - people will buy your foods because they're lazy (and don't have the skill/time).
It took me less than a day to take cooking from 0 to 300, having no materials in advance. I also took fishing from 15 to 230.
The problems with cooking for profit are four-fold...
1) Anyone can easily do it.
2) Ingredients are WAY too easy to come by.
3) Buffs are too short.
4) Buffs are mostly irrelevant.
If Blizzard wanted to make cooking into a relevant skill they'd need to add some recipes that actually do something that makes you take notice. The fact that a lowish tailoring recipe grants a better buff than any food you can make now (and cooking is supposedly all about well-fed buffs) really shows how bad cooking is right now.
They need to add some meat that drops rarely off of tough mobs, maybe some dragon meat in UBRS or plantish food from Dire Maul. Some rare fish in a difficult to reach pond (like maybe in BWL!) would be nice too. The buffs need to be longer (use more ingredients for all I care...) and more relevant. The winter squid was nice in that +agi was different, the fact that summer bass is just worse than a giant egg omelette (+10 spi instead of +12 sta/spi) is a joke.
