"rice" can be used as a noun or as a verb, but that is not exactly a homonym....same with "batter"
You can prune your trees or eat a prune.
The only one I can think of, and it is far-fetched, is hart/heart,
both of which have been used as foods.
In case you didn't know, a hart is a deer, my dear.
Wait a minute, how about serial and cereal?
I knew a man whose last name was Pease, but he never ate them. I have also known people named Cupp.
Tea suits me to a T.
You can eat from a bowl, but not from the bole of a tree.
Or you could sing that old Elvis Presley song, "Don't be gruel"
If I think of anything more, I will edit and re-edit this post, so keep checking back.
