Please don't bring strong smelling food (or beverages) to that event. We had some furs with cheese (it was from Switzerland if I remember correctly) at the Ringberg Hotel. Though the cheesed tasted very well, three levels of lobby were smelling so badly, that one nearly wanted to puke. Also the hotel crew wasn't too pleased. As far as I know, nothing 'bad' happened, but I could imagine, that the Maritim might charge EF some additional cleaning fee or something... So please, no smelling cheese or fish.
Also, the following is very important for anyone not from the European Union. You may not bring meat or anything made of milk (yoghurt, cheese, ...) from outside the European Union. Also there is some regulation about the amount of alcohol. I would advise everyone to check with the duty regulations before bringing something with them.
