I can never seem to find them when I need to
Didn't meant to take away from the nice addition of extra slots though.
I just think it's a little lame that you can't tell if your currently consuming food/drink without sifting through your effects window.
Auto-consume is non-afk-friendly, and just too unresourceful for me.
And fiddling with potions all the time, across several toons, which have short durations that I also don't like to auto-consume, food/drink just make things a bigger pain in the rear!
*Edit* I'm thinking of changing the food/drink icon in my DDS file to something with a solid color... even if other buffs or whatever use them as well...
