Stuff I see her liking: spicy food. With that dad and his death chili, she must have been raised with a taste for it. Not Asian spicy, but midwest/TexMex/Mexican style. Fruit smoothies, preferably tropical fruits. Yogurt. Those wraps with the spinach-tinted green tortillas. Rabbit food, like carrot and celery sticks. Jalapeno corn bread, nachos, and really good chocolate.
She'd like food you can eat with your hands and grab n' go, since even before Animorph days she was rather up and at 'em.
