> What kinds of things around food and drink work for you?
I always appreciate savory snacks.
My energy & mood is pretty erratic, so I very frequently sacrifice meals to arrive on time and showered. When all anyone brings is biscuits it's a nightmare combo for moodswings - I'm hungry and craving sugar, but if I eat the biscuits my mood will plummet.
A plate of cheddar chunks, cucumbers sticks, something with hummous, oat bars, a french stick etc are all glorious. It supports one's mood a lot better, in a subtle way - more energising. Plus: other people are more likely to bring something sweet
I also think choosing food wrt its tactile qualities & how messy it is. My anxiety goes way up around new people, so something like eating sticky crisps or a melting chocolate biscuit, or a crumbly cake which might fall on my top etc would be food I'd not touch.
