I have never heard of taking BP meds with food. However some take their medicine in the morning and some in the evening. I take half in the AM and half at night. The key is what is best for you in a 24 hour period? Some BP meds make one tired, so; they take before bed. Also, if you take a diuretic I would take it early so you do not wake up all night to use the toilet. Ask your MD.
