You've chosen a particularly bad example because what people ate, and just as importantly when they ate held a lot of meaning in Regency times because it was related to class.
No I haven’t. What I described were food tropes of romance novels. How you got a comment on historical accuracy from that I can’t imagine. But just so you know, tropes quite often ignore accuracy for the sake of the trope.

Regardless, as per my comment above, none of it is usually a comment on character and if it is, it’s to distinguish the character as against type, not to bring nuance to character.

I repeat, when a tool is used poorly, it's not logical to blame the tool.

....do you understand the discussion? First, quote me where any literary device is "blamed." I'd like to see where I said anything like that. Second, the tool isn't necessary to this genre. It could be deployed, it may be in singular outputs, but it doesn't need to be to get a satisfying romance (for me is implied, but you know, I think you just want to argue. which is fine, but it helps when you comment with relevance). Third, you don't seem to understand the tools being used, so you'll excuse me if I don't think you understand what is being used poorly. Tropes are a perfectly good literary tool.
