IC, vore, xenolinguistics 

There are words missing from English, concepts I know should be single words but aren’t.

I need a word for “food-friends”: people I highly value and am excited to see both for companionship and because they are good to eat (cooperative and nutritious!).

Similarly, “restaurant-people”: people I can semi-reliably arrange to eat by mutual agreement as what amounts to a business negotiation.

Oh well. Languages adapt, maybe it will improve over time!

@synbria My brain says there's some kind of play on "takeout" and "delivery" here waiting to be uncovered, but I can't quite make it work myself.
