I'm carrying a lot of food/drink that I think is Pre-CU, and none of it has worked lately.
I'm getting none of the effects, and it's not depleting from my inventory when I try to eat/drink.
Anyone know anything?

I would like an answer to this as well. Some of my Pre-CU food works (brandy etc.) however at least two crates of food do not. I purchased Ryschate (sp?) and Breath of Heaven, both of which indicated Post-Cu stats on the crate. However when I removed them from the crate, they no longer have stats and are not consumable. I sent in a ticket and the CSR's response :"This is a new one for me, bug it" Of course I did /bug it, but that doesn't resolve my issue.
Anyone have exeperience with this, and perhaps a workaround?

Well, it depends on how "pre" they are.
Food crafted before the chef revamp (Ryshcate definitely qualifies) displayed conversion if it was in a single stack. If it was in a crate, the crate had stats, but any singles pulled from the crate didn't have any stats. It's possible this is a display glitch, and no pre-revamp food can now be eaten.
Food crafted between the revamp and the CU should have been converted into it's post-CU stats. Single stacks sometimes converted wrong (stats did not accurately reflect the experimentation/tissue originally used), crated foods sometimes had wrong stats displayed, but food pulled from the crate was corrected.
I haven't tested any of my pre-CU food in a few weeks, but at one point they were definitely working. Is this a new development?

I was a Chef before the "Chef revamp" and way before the CU (May of 04). I was planning on taking a break from SWG and I stockpiled crates upon crates of Vercupti/Glazed Glucose Pate/Fishak/Brandy. I returned 12 months later to discover thatall but the Brandy is nowworthless, I can pull the items from the crate, but they cannot be consumed. Close to 30-40 crates, now all worthless. Wasted millions of creds.

Well, you were told wrong. Pie (and Air Cake and Fizz Pudding) have never given a bonus to the "Dodge" skill, it was just bad phrasing of a different kind of defense bonus that would stack with +defense foods.
Post-CU, Dodge foods do give a noticeable decrease to damage taken (although the relative benefit seems to go down as your natural defenses go up). They may also decrease the chances of a "hit" (so you'd see more "swings at you and misses" in your combat spam), but that's harder to test.

Well, much of the old food is just a collectable item, some of the rares foods I wouldn't consume. Why don't you just market them an old item no longer made and sell them. I know I am always looking for pre-chef revamp foods and drinks that do not exist anymore, but so many of them are impossible to find.
