How is 'a good variety of food' to be understood in the sentence 'If you want to cook for yourself, the shop in the next village has a good variety of food'? Is 'a good variety of' a fixed collocation? In this example, what is the difference if 'a good variety of' is changed to 'a large variety of' or 'a wide variety of'? Are they roughly equivalent and interchangeable? Thank you so much!

Yes, they're all roughly equivalent. In a formal situation "a wide variety" would be the best choice, but in informal speech or writing any of the three is fine.

I can imagine a good variety that is not wide. I can also imagine a wide variety that is not good.
