NOT TRUE, unless you have a hacked version of rogue (of any flavor).
the duration that any kind of food lasts is random.  food and fruit
use the same method of generating the length of time that it lasts.
however, your stomach size is limited, so you may not get full benefit
from it.  there IS a difference between yummy and yechy food though.
eating yechy food gives you one experience point.  all fruit is good tasting.
