To begin with, I'm assuming we've determined that food is
permitted in the library - otherwise, the decision is very easy.

I would agree that the rate of donut consumption drops off
precipitously after noon, and therefore chips and other snack-type
foods might be a better substitute.

The issue with the sandwich tray is that usually you need to put
your order in 24 hours in advance, which requires knowing how many
people you're expecting.  (Actually, if we knew that, we could
probably order pizza in advance just as easily.)

Personally, I have no problem with waiting until after the GNOME
presentation for pizza.  That would fit in with our standard
ordering protocol.  I figure having enough chips on hand should
hold people over until then.
