Which Food?
Well it depends entirely on your build and play style.
Think of food as a way of supplementing certain stats which you may be lacking in, or providing a particular mechanic which boosts your traits.
So the first step is to identify weak areas in your arsenal and then find appropriate food to fill the gap.

As an example of using food to compliment traits/stats I tend to use omnomberry ghosts to steal life on crit ( because I have very high crit, and it can keep my health topped up in the middle of a zerg ).
If you are farming you’d probably want to choose a magic find booster ( Chocolate Omnomberry Cream gives +40% magic find and +20% boon duration ).
Plates of lemongrass poultry will boost your toughness and increase power when you are low on health.
Omnomberry loaf will give you a flat toughness and vitality boost.
It all depends… so keep a few different types in your inventory for different situations (if you have the room!)
Remember also that there are maintenance oils ( which increase precision ) and sharpening stones ( for power ) which can be applied too, and might affect your choices.

if you have any precision, life steal on crit is the way to go.
ah. much thanks for the replies. that’s just what i needed
:D
Mango pies are great if you want some extra tankiness through regen. Lemongrass soup is also good for the -40% condition duration. For damage builds i would run omnom pies for the life steal, or curry butternut squash doup for the extra crit and crit damage. One food i have been testing lately is the ghost pepper poppers with a high crit build. During the night you can almost always keep your enemy chilled, and during the day you can get some decent might stacks (even more with aoe skills like whirl and torch #5) however it does lack a second effect at the same time
