Only if ghosts cooked it.
Otherwise, I would say it was merely a pleasant, wonderful, even transcendent experience... but not spiritual.

I've been to several excellent restarunts in which anything spiritual was far from present, however the food was very well prepared and quite delectable. I take satisfaction in preparing a meal from scratch, especially when it actually tastes as good as the recipie book makes it sound. I like being able to take saitisfaction in my own work. It's like having your cake and eating it too. But as far as a spiritual experience, I'd say no.

Emphatically yes, as is whatever you do excellently, be it preparing the meal, eating it, reading, love-making or playing football. Any positive thing you do with love or to the best of your ability brings you closer to God.
One common mistake is when we assume that only certain actions (like going to church, praying, preaching, etc) are spiritual. However, since our whole sojourn on earth is a spiritual quest, it follows that everything we do has spiritual significance.

No, but I've had spiritual experiences soon after a well-prepared meal.

Eating well balanced meal will lead one to a healthy experience. Doing a well balanced judgement on the choices of words, choices of actions, choices of road to take on your journey through life is an spiritual experience.

I believe so, as I prepare meals in spiritual awareness. Great gifts from God that I prepare for those I love, so that they to can rejoice and be nourished by His goodness.

It sure is, if prepared for religious purposes. Besides, bad-prepared meals may cause serious health problems, (and if it is bad enough, the eater will find out if there is really "life after death").

It can be - YES !!! For example; many of the Festivals in both, the Old Testament and New include celebrations or festive occasions, involving food and drink ! People have a Au Natural inclination towards feasting and celebration with friends and family !!!

I suppose for someone who found it to be such a wonderful meal that it felt overwhelming in some way or form that it precipitated a powerful feeling of unity with the universe, it might be considered so.

It is- serotonin is released in the brain when you eat carbohydrates and during a "spiritual" experience.

If you eat it with gratitude for those who prepared it and mindfulness of all the sentient beings (human and animal) that sacrificed in some way to get the ingredients to your table all the way back to growing it and so on...
