The viking ship sounds more like a soteltie than an illusion food.
However despite this, it sounds like you have things well in hand. However, if you would like some more illusion food ideas you might look at these files in the Florilegium:

ill-fd-feast-art  (10K) 12/ 8/97    A feast consisting of illusion foods.

illusion-fds-msg (128K) 10/29/01    Medieval illusion foods. Diguised food.

Warners-art       (32K)  6/29/98    An article on disguised food.

I also have a bunch of additional stuff for the illusion-fds-msg file when I
find the time.
