I've covered this a time or six before, but the short answers are: Fungi. Lots and lots of fungi. Snails. Slimes. And lizards (worn-out pack lizards and all of the smaller varieties). #realmslore

What else do Underfolk tend to eat? I'm assuming whatever meat they can get their hands on is... "foul" would be a kind description.

... Does that include the richer races, such as the drow?

Yes. These things form the bulk of drow diets. Drow also (due to surface raids and trade) have access to other foodstuffs, but due to ongoing rarity these are "treats" (expensive). The drow do rear herds of pack lizards and farm "forests" of fungi in guarded caverns. #realmslore

Well, this sort of lifestyle explains much of Underdark culture. No wonder they're so rude.
