Mysteries with Food in the Title

I am currently reading "Dead as a Scone" by Ron and Janet Benrey. It revolves around a British tea museum (yes, a museum dedicated to tea and tea antiques - the authors assure the reader that this a totally fictional museum). I haven't learned much about scones so far but have learned a lot about tea. Other mysteries with food in the title have included cookies, chili, wine, cupcakes, but in my reading there seems to be a lot of baked goods. Do you think that is because baked goods are easier to poison?

Many of the mysteries with food in the title also include receipes. I don't generally read a mystery to find a receipe but I did find one scone receipe that was very good. The sad part is that I checked the book out of the library. I lost the receipe and don't remember the name of the book. Maybe some day I will find it again.
