Omelette and salad are both stam foods, so your health was probably lacking.

I just went and parried a deathsquito, lox, fuling, seeker, soldier... Skoll and Hati work fine. Carapiece armour, chicken, platter, blood pudding.

I do use mods, but none that should affect my parry ability. I had 42 skill in knives.
