What are 3 words that could be considered antonyms of "culinary"?

"Culinary" is an adjective, meaning, more or less, "of cooking". It can't have an antonym as it is not opposable, neither by counteraction, opposition, negation, nor reversal. To put it more graphically: you can't anti-cook, un-cook or de-cook in any non-metaphorical way, so noone has ever bothered to invent words for these things.

Well, it's a stretch, because there are no precise antonyms. "Culinary" has to do with cooking, so if you want to use "eating" as an opposite, then "eating" could be one, "gustatory" another, and then "tasting."What are 3 words that could be considered antonyms of "culinary"?
