Etymology

餇 combines the food radical 飠 with 同, which likely provides the sound. The character is rare and its historical development is not well documented.

Meaning mnemonic

The food radical 飠 on the left shows this is about eating. The right side 同 (same) can remind you that food is something we all share in common.

Reading mnemonic

For ト, imagine a toe (ト) accidentally dipped into the food: toe -> ト, and the food radical 飠 makes it clear this is about food.
