Foods or items that are suitable or safe to eat; edible items or provisions.
From 'eatable' (adjective) used as a noun + '-s' (plural). English frequently converts adjectives into nouns, especially with food-related words like 'eatables,' 'drinkables,' or 'consumables.'
Medieval and Victorian writers used 'eatables' as a slightly formal word for 'food'—it has an old-fashioned, almost snobbish ring to it now, but it represents how English speakers once bundled food into abstract categories rather than just saying 'food.'
