Well corksroo you need to be aware of the compression effect you get when you use your chosen focal length too - if you use a wide angle lens you get close which makes everything farther apart and distorted, telephoto gets you farther away which brings everything together. Much like faces are a poor idea with a wide angle, I could see food looking strange too. I have no idea if that's an issue or not v:shobon:v For sure if you go too wide your depth of field will be huge and you will get lots of distractions. The 50mm really is perfect for this.

And a word of warning: generally superzooms like a 28-200 suck pretty hard. Canon's 24-105 f/4L has finally made a decent wide to telephoto range possible but it's a $1000 lens. Anything less and you will be disappointed. Stick to a 70-200 or so, they are solid performers. For cheap consumer zooms, Sigma has a 70-300 APO DG Macro that's $190 new and a crazy good deal.
