RFV
Called a noun, defined as verb: "To search for nourishment, either by fishing, hunting, shopping, etc. to survive." Not in OneLook or Century, ergo recent or fanciful. DCDuring TALK 14:59, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * User's only contribution, and present only (as far as I can tell) as a surname. Sounds to me to be better suited for RFD (if not ). --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:51, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I like to and IMO Wiktionary should give something not patently ridiculous a chance. A month should be long enough. We should try to capture any legitimate emergent use. I'm unwilling to trust opinion, even of the Solons contributing here. DCDuring TALK 11:20, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I also poked around, and didn't see a thing. If it can be cited, it will take superhuman effort. Calling all Solons... --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:51, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * In the absence of Solonic response, I checked out Google Groups and found indications but not sufficient yet for attestation. The form foodening: seems to be the most promising. I'm not sure about the exact sense. It seems more like "provisioning" than "searching for". See Citations:fooden. DCDuring TALK 12:59, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks sort of like an attempt to form something analogous to words like strengthen from strength or hearten from heart (see -en- Etymology 3) Chuck Entz (talk) 04:01, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * An eyebiting word. FWIW, I did a quick look-see and found one poorly written blog that supports the meaning as given here. Otherwise, the way that I understand the word is not quite the same tho it could be stretched a bit to that meaning. For me it has three meanings ... to give good, nourishment — to provision (from this witt, one could stretch to look for food ... soothfast, one can say that we're going to the foodcourt to fooden ... in the witt of a pubcrawl ... go from one food seller to another.). It also means to produce (as in the trees fooden (produce) fruit). Mostly its means a feast. Fooden does need an entry. I'm not sure that this is it tho.--AnWulf ... Ferþu Hal!
