[1.7.10][SOLVED]What's the best way to find out if an Item is food?

[nosrick]

So I want to feed my creature stuff, and I've overridden the interact() function. But I need to find out if the player is currently holding food.

 

How would I go about doing that?

 

I thought about using Object#isAssignableFrom(Class<?>) but I don't think that will work. I hope this isn't too much of a Java question.

item instanceof ItemFood

 

Best shot.

My Java's a bit rusty, so that really helped me out. That did it! Thanks, Ernio.
