To consume food/drink you must first locate it in your inventory and right-click on it. When you do this you will be presented with two consumption options: "Eat/Drink Now" and "Eat/Drink When Hungry/Thirsty"
Eat/Drink Now - Selecting this option will consume the specified food/drink and apply its regeneration effect immediately. This will override any current food/drink effects that the character currently has.
Eat/Drink when Hungry/Thirsty - Selecting this option will consume the specified food/drink and apply its regeneration effect the next time the character is hungry/thirsty.
Stop Eating/Drinking - To halt the future consumption of food/drink you can use the commands /stopeating and /stopdrinking. This will prevent you from consuming food/drink when hungry/thirsty unless you choose the "Eat/Drink when Hungry/Thirsty" option again.

Food and drink must now be equipped in the Inventory window to be consumed. The food/drink slots are located where the Activatable slots used to be.
You can toggle whether you want nourishment in your food and drink slots to be consumed automatically when you get hungry or thirsty. Right click on each slot and set Auto-Consume on or off.
Dragging your food and drink slots to your hotkey bars, coupled with setting Auto-Consume to off, will allow you to consume food and drink at the touch of a button.
If you wish to consume a different kind of food or drink while existing food/drink buffs are still active, you can put your new nourishment in the appropriate slot, right-click it, and select "Consume Now."
- Only classic disc/isle of refuge supports inventory based food/drink
- DoF and later (well technically our DoF client) is past update 16 which removed it see below.

Food / drink can be used via inventory and we don't handle that properly.. I had started looking into this in the past milestone, but never completed.
