The five second rule

Have you ever been killing monsters, health is low and you're praying for the next drop to be the wine or pizza or bread just to keep yourself sustained without being forced to trudge back to a bank?

Drops aren't usually questioned. We assume the monster has eaten their share of adventurers and, thusly, the armor, weapons, gems and various knickknacks are stored in its belly until we come along to slay it. Our rewards are whatever happens to fall out of our foe. Thinking about how the treasures we take for granted get recirculated back into the economy is not always the best direction of our thoughts. 

Food strikes as out of place. Of course, edibles can be believed as scooped up by monsters, but one must ask why the food wouldn't be consumed during a fight between us and the enemy. Do these various creatures have some sort of honor code or are they not intelligent enough to eat their health back? Perhaps bloodvelds are hording those meat pizzas until they can get to a bank or a shop to sell them for profit. Lesser demons could be toddling home from the tavern, sloshing about a full jug of wine and singing loudly.
