I'm legit curious because I'm not sure how long rests work in multiplayer, but doesn't the entire party still have to long rest together there? Or are long rests done on a per player basis?
I haven't tried multiplayer since Patch 4, so I don't how it works for food. But, as far as the core Long Rest is concerned, all players have to agree to go to sleep and have a Long Rest. So, unless Larian has implemented a per-player food consumption and per-player Long Rest benefits, there is no benefit whatsoever to keep food for yourself and not share with your friend (or, shall I say, "friend").
