I'm not seeing anywhere in the code where you are putting into an array. Can you point us to which line of code where you think your putting things into an array?

The only thing I've seen related to an array is line 40 of Form1, but there you are inexplicably reallocating a larger and larger array.

On thing that may help is to be consistent with your naming. The .NET naming guidelines recommends that classes be named using Pascal casing (eg. begin with a capital letter for each word), and variables be named using Camel casing (eg. begin with a lower case letter, and then succeeding words start with a capital) Your food class starts with a lower case, as does your food variable for your array.

Let me just say Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? WTF are you trying to do here?

40         public void drawSnake()
41         {              
43                 snakeRec = snakeRec; 
46         }

What is going through your mind with this? snakeRec is a rectangle. That's it. Just a rectangle consisting of a .Location and some points that define its size. How exactly do you think that set it equal to itself is going to magically make your snake draw on the screen?

This is the method you call from all your other methods. So yeah, nothing is going to paint.

I think you need to stop. Think this through. Draw it out on a whiteboard. And plan a lot more before you type.
