Re: What Do Jinn eats & Drinks?

That is a correct recollection. I have read the same. See quote below:
Ibn Masud reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: **“There came to me an inviter on behalf of the Jinn and I went along with him and recited to them the Qur’an.”** He (the narrator) said: The Prophet then went along with us and showed us their traces and traces of their embers. The Jinn asked the Prophet about their provision and he said: **“Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The time it will fall in your hand it would be covered with flesh, and (you can have) all the droppings as food for your animals.”** The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, **“So do not use (these things) for cleaning yourselves (after relieving oneself), for they are the food and provision of your brothers (Jinn).”** (Reported by Muslim)The believing jinn may eat any bone on which the name of Allah has been mentioned, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit them to have anything on which Allah’s Name has not been mentioned – those are for the unbelieving jinn. ** The beasts of the jinn ** According to the Hadith reported by Ibn Masud, that we have quoted above, the jinn asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for provision, and he said to them: “…and (you can have) all the droppings as food for your animals.”

That is what I read/heard.
