A typical holodeck consisted of a room equipped with a hologrid containing omnidirectional holographic diodes, enabling holographic projections and holograms. Elements of transporter technology and replicators were used to create holodeck matter by the manipulation of photons contained within force fields to give objects the illusion of substance as well as actual matter. This matter could exist outside of the holodeck for brief periods of time (such as snow) before they would lose cohesion and revert back to energy without the support of the hologrid. (TNG: “Encounter at Farpoint”, “The Big Goodbye”, “Elementary, Dear Data”).
Since holodeck technology could be used with replicator technology, there were some instances where real objects were replicated within the holodeck and used to interact with the holographic program and/or users for a more realistic experience; since these objects were real material composed of matter, they could leave the holodeck fully intact. Examples of this include Wesley Crusher still being wet after leaving the holodeck after falling into replicated water, (TNG: “Encounter at Farpoint”) Lieutenant Commander Data being able to take a drawing of the Enterprise on a piece of paper out into the hallway, (TNG: “Elementary, Dear Data”) and a wayward snowball being able to pass through the holodeck doors and strike Captain Picard. (TNG: “Angel One”) Scents were also simulated in this way.
Holograms could be augmented with force beams to simulate solid, tangible objects or with replicator technology to create actual solid matter such as foodstuffs.
Now I’m quite done with the pointless argument. If you still think you know better, save it for a brick wall.
None of what you’ve linked states that all food and drink are real. In fact, the passage specifically says (didn’t read it, did you, you dolt) that

SOME INSTANCES
Since when did “some instances water is replicated” mean “all food and drink, ever, is always replicated”?
You didn’t have a good whatever your native language is called in school, did you? Because your reading comprehension sucks.
I’ve constantly kept the point that they’re not hard scifi and completely writers will, complete soft scifi. You’ve taken the position theyre hard scifi and that ALL food and drink is replicated. You’ve a stated something incorrect. I have not.
By gods you are thick…
Well let’s gooooooo to memory alpha…:

Oh you’re done being wrong? Good.
