“Refreshments” sounds more natural.
Comment on Word???

If anyone is interested, you can call food and drink collectively “vinctuals”. That’s another one I was looking for.

I guess it does, but it also seems to imply a small snack or small drink rather than being able to refer to meals and drinks of any size…

I honestly don’t think of drinks when I hear someone say “victuals”, just food. Also, if the word is new to you, be warned that the C and U are silent; it sounds like vit•ulz when spoken aloud.

"Victuals" is the source of the term "vittles", if you're feeling particularly folksy.

Brilliant! Thanks
