Buffy uses Angel's recipe (apple + blueberry) to make appleberry juice. She also labels restore fatigue potions as water to simulate her goatskin waterbag.
Given the choice, this is generally what she would prefer to eat:
Breakfast: Appleberry juice, hot bergamot tea, sweet rolls and strawberries. Bread and cheese in a pinch though.
Lunch: Water, bread, cheese, maybe crabmeat and a pear.
Dinner: Tamika's and some venison stew, perhaps also with bread and cheese. Strawberries for desert.
She drinks lots of water during the day. Almost all the carrots and apples she can find/buy go to Superian to augment the mare's grazing. Buffy also adapts to local conditions of course; if stopping at the Faregyl Inn for example, she certainly enjoys some of S'jirra's famous potato bread
Of course when she describes things, it is clear she perceives her world in much richer colors, smells and tastes than I do. A tiny snip from Episode 89 of her journal:

"Are you hungry? I'll get us something to eat, then we can sit here, enjoy an early lunch and watch some of the qualifications."
Wonderful smells beckoned me toward a smoky tent with its front panels tied open.
"Well, Milady, what suits your fancy today?" The ruddy-faced Imperial grinned enthusiastically. "I have some savory boar sausage flavored with sage? Perhaps a piece of this fresh Niben slaughterfish, grilled with butter and a delicious selection of herbs?"
"They both sound wonderful. I think I'll have some of each." I then added cheerfully, "Oh, and a loaf of bread with two bottles of ale please."
A few minutes later, Daenlin and I were clinking bottles to congratulate each other on shooting well. Between mouthfuls, he filled me in. "Schlera Sestius registered while you were gone. Riveus also signed in."
