I use mushroom stew when main healing something like einherjar, I used to use it for salvage but that got pretty expensive lol. Still it's nice if you're the only healer during a run to pop it at the beginning, giving you 40 mp and 4 hmp is really great for the first few floors. I still think it's probably the best healer food there is, and it's my food of choice when I'm not feeling cheap or lazy.
Cookies are an excellent, cheap filler for stew and wizard has the most hmp of any food out there, which is great because I just add /item "Wizard Cookie" into my HMP macro and I never forget to use them :3 I even use these while soloing occasionally because I will sometimes have to sleep or bind and recover MP, and having that much HMP is fantastic in crunch situations. I also like this for dynamis, where I need to push as much mp as I can out of short periods of rest.
I am also a huge fan of the mushpot, but situationally, because I don't do land HNM's all that often anymore, and this is what I used it the most for. I still use it occasionally, for something that's straight tanked and slow can land on where I am not the only healer for my team (and sometimes when I am, depending on the situation).
