I am not sure how it works. There are different messages about this:
1) No food/drink with same stats stack
2) Some food/drinks stack and highest of each is taken
3) Health is still stacking (added together)
4) Something else ...
if it is 2) then which food/drinks can be stacked?

As far as I know, HAM buff food/drink will only stick the highest stat. For example, if you take a Blob Candy, and then take a Brandy, the Brandy will cancel out the Blob Candy. (and the candy buff symbol below you're name will disappear as well) If two HAM buff foods/drinks have the same modifier on the same stat (like Brandy and Accaragm....Action Regen), it simply will not let you take the second food/drink if the first one is still in effect, regardless of what other stats the second food/drink might have that are different from the first food/drink.
I haven't tested ability stat foods yet. Not sure if they are stacking or not.

Ok thanks for the info. So two food/drinks with for example 200 action regen will not stack but if one is 200 and the other 199 they will stack?
What happens if you use a food/drink with lower stats? Like you have brandy active and try to eat a blob candy? Will you eat it but not get any effect or just refuse to take it?
I am pretty sure that ability food does not stack, they never had (but they might have messed up that as well).
I am probably going to have 3 menus I use. 1 long term with blob candy etc. Then have 2 short term buffs. One with BoH+ Canapé and another with food as main buff, if you are filled with drinks.

The max number of HAM regen you can have active on you is +200. Meaning, that a Brandy will just cancel out the Blob if you take it after the Blob. If you try to take a Blob after a Brandy, it won't even work.
So, basically, only the higher of the two foods/drinks will stick in any one situation. This only applies to same stat HAM regen buffs though. For example, you can have a Blob Candy in, but you can also take a Bofa Treat, since the Bofa is health regen and the Blob is action regen.
If you take a drink and a food, if they both have the same stat modifier (not necessarily the same number), only the food with the higher value will stack. So, it works the same regardless of food-food, drink-drink, or drink-food.

i'm not so sure that 200 is the highest regen buff possible... has anyone tested if there's a difference in the mind regen between having just canape (+200) and having canape and breath of heaven?
stuff stacks, but it seems like the possible combos are very limited.
Canape + Brandy
Canape + BoH
Won-Won + Accarragm
Won-Won + Mando Wine
Kiwik Swirl + Garmorrl
Kiwik Swirl + Vercupti
I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I use/sell (cept garmorrl
). they do have stats that overlap somewhat, and i can say for certain that at least the health portion of the buff does stack. my canape and breath of heaven results in +780 health.

what does your Canape and Brandy result in?

well i don't really know what the combined buff is to the regen stats since they aren't listed anywhere, but the brandy is 202 health regen, 200 action regen, 50 mind regen for 16min and the canape is 341 health, 200 mind regen, 50 health regen for 16min.

IMO, it's won-won + accarragm. that's only if the 2 action regen stats will stack, in which case it'll give you 250 action regen. if the accarragm's made with a flavor addie, they can last for a similar amount of time and be out of the stomach before they wear off. if the 2 action regen stats dont stack, anything with +200 ar would work 
use spice too
