Food in general is usually referred to as "ESS'n", as if that word were a noun, although it's also the infinitive 'to eat'.
The word comes straight from the German "essen" = to eat.

A snack or delicacy in Yiddish is a "MY-khl", from the Hebrew "MAH-ah-KHAL" for food, which in turn
comes from the Hebrew infinitive "L'eh-KHOL" = to eat.
