I guess many of us have seen a lot of food and drink over Christmas and the New Year but I still had trouble finding stamps for this theme.
The 150th Anniversary of the Statehood of Illinois had some farm buildings and fields of grain on this stamp.

The Celebrate the Century Series contained this curious stamp for the 1900s which fits the food theme I suppose.

Agricultural products appear on a number of stamps from Brazil and no it's not coffee that I have found.

This is Anacardium Occidentale, the evergreen tropical cashew tree that gives us the cashew seed and the cashew nut. Its apple is used for a drink and concentrated juice.

The second stamp is so wonderfully macabre!
I find fields of grain soothing to look at.
And one cannot say enough about how wonderful cashews are. (although I would never have guessed that was what the Brazilian stamp was showing)
These three stamps are very interesting. I hadn't seen any of them. The second is even a bit scary!
Wow that food and drug stamp is alarming happily you also include the soothing sight of a field of grain.
