It depends for me. If Im running regular missions then canape does fine. Quick and easy but on harder mobs where I need the food and drink long enough and at a constant where I can refill and eat it at roughly the same time I use ahrisa. Both are good. Sometimes a mixture of both lol. I think it just depends on what you want to kill

If you get good ahrisa, it's only 33% filling. The main issue with ahrisa is that, yes, it keeps your specials costs down to nothing because focus is so high (with musician buff, I've had over 2600 focus), but when you're taking mind damage, ahrisa does not help you to regen (since that's willpower, which is where canape comes in).
So, for PvE and when I'm not sure when PvP will start (that is, I'm expecing someone might attack me, but don't know when or where), I take ahrisa. But when I'm about to go into some heavy PvP--I reach for the canape (also 33% fill)and will then follow up with either ahrisa or more canape depending on the situation.

In a PvP setting I use Canapes but for the most part try to keep my stomach empty so I can pop a couple of double buff vercumpti (sp?) if I need to. Having a 2k instaint HAM boost is REALLY nice

When leveling TK I started out using canapes but my issue was the duration always left me lacking. Now buffed and armord I don't take alot of damage so mind regin waS not the issue for me. It was then that a buddy turned me on to Ahresia (don't remember the exact spelling). It's a food that buffs just your focus. The stuff I was able to find on Sunrunner was (+409 power, 32 filling, and 44.5 min duration). I can pop a couple of these and two brandys and I can spam any TK sp attack with virtually no HAM cost. Anyhoo, I'm sure alot of you allready know about it but just trying to help those that might just be starting

Im pretty loyal to my Canapes, even if they are just a 10 minute duration. My missions are over in that amount of time so I just pop another...

canape is a waste of money and fills your stomach too fast and lasts too little. you get 4x the duration from one ahrisa. it is MUCH better than canape.

2 Ahrissa + 2 brandies mean 40+ minutes of no specials cost and when they wear off, you take more because your stomach is empty.....no downer, no worries that it will wear off before you finish a second mission, no worries that your stomach is getting too full. It really is the way to go. I don't understand how canapes are better, but to each their own.

They have their use if different situations.. If you need to regen alota mind fast. I'd go for canape. Other than that for grinding purposes or raids when your gonna need longer duration stuff i'd stick with ahrisa..
Besides once you get to 1500 focus all your specials will have no effect on your mind. So its pretty much willpower which comes in handy if you don't have doc and need to meditate off some poison. Usually I'm dancer/muscian buffed so spamming specials usually doesn't affect me with 2 brandies chugged down already so I pop my own assortment of foods... I usually have 3500 mind most of the times w/ powerboost and mind foods. I can get it up to about 5.5k if i'm taking heavy damage but I rarely put that much in. So you'll have plenty of mind to spare even if your taking 10 mind per special.

I hunt unbuffed, without armor (but for stylish ubese spiked gloves) or VKs... 500 focus and willpower means I can spam my most used special, combo 1, and have mind to spare for center. Works for me.
