    Is there a way to have potions regenerate more quickly? In the heat of battle 30 seconds is a long time.

    Yes, there is a gliph that you can put on ring and amulet that will reduce the cd of potion, i think each is 5 second.
    And alchemy has a passive that extend the duration of potions.

    Well, considering that they do completely different things, I'm not sure what you mean. There is no food that will heal you, top off your magica or stamina or all three, make you invisible, make your weapons more powerful or boost your crit, make you immune to CC or knockback (however briefly), make you sneak better, or give you a huge armor boost. They're situational in nature.

    There is also no potion that will increase your health regen, or increase your max health or magicka or all three stats.

    You can use potions tactically to help you win. You can use food strategically to make you more fit for battle. They're both awesome.

    And actually, only purple food lasts for more than one hour. Blue lasts for 1 hour, and Green for ~35 minutes. It's a fine point, and various things will change the details, but not all food lasts for hours as you claim.

    The thing about purple food/drink is not only that it lasts a long time, but that it affects all of your stats.

    Your "answer" had some problems (aside from spelling and grammar, of course). Your response to getting politely corrected is to ask an insulting question. If you want friends in life with a mental age above twelve, you're going to have to do better than that.

    Have a nice day!

    Obviously, you did NOT read the OP. GFBStarWars answered the OPs question in relation to how it was asked, and it did not have any errors in it.

    The OP asked if potions and food stack. The answer is yes.

    However, it is MUCH more likely they were talking about drink buffs and food buffs, which do not stack at the current time.

    So he was absolutely correct in his answer to the OPs question, and even answered the more likely actual question.

    Neither one of you know the meaning of the word "stack," nor did you understand my answer. Apparently all you want is an argument. Sorry, I'm busy degreasing my grill. Have fun!
