Usually all the food is provided by NASA. We select our choices from a wide variety of dishes and they are packed and stowed for us on the vehicle prior to launch. There are cases where individuals have been allowed to bring some unique favorite foods on orbit; however, each of those selections is carefully inspected by the NASA staff to insure quality and to minimize food spoiling prior to ingestion so we do not get sick.
