There is also the "Bowl Of Soup", which provides the "Well Fed" buff. The bowl of soup is crafted at a cooking pot (made from 10 iron and 2 wood) with 1 mushroom, 1 goldfish, and a bowl. The bowl is made at a furnace with 2 clay. Upon consuming the bowl of soup, you get the well fed buff, which says "Minor improvements to all stats." This buff lasts for 10 minutes.

Combined with 4 ale, you could have better stats and increased melee speed for approximately 10 minutes. The soup would dampen your lowered deffence from the ale.
