Sorry if I am just being [censored] here, but, I can't find food in the item lists anywhere.

Take for example the cheese wheel. I can see it in the render window in some environments( like WhiterunBanneredMare). If I double-click it I can see that the base object is FoodCheeseWheel01B, so it is in the database somewhere. The base items name is "Sliced Goat Cheese" and has keyword "VendorItemFood".

I can find none of these in any lists of items on the leftmost window ("Object Window") in any category and I've checked them all.

Should it be under Ingredients?

You could always enter part (or all) of its editor in the filter box and just view the "all" category.

There is an Ingredient->Clutter->Food, but the only item in there is CharredSkeeverHide.

Nevermind, the filter thing helped me find it, thank you!

FYI foods are under Potions, which I guess I did not check before.
