Anything that will break a natural tooth can break a partial denture tooth. Also very chewy or sticky foods may stick to the denturw
In my opinion, it depends on whether it's the front teeth or back teeth. But in general, try to avoid biting something very hard. Other than that, you should be able to eat with the denture.
You will want to avoid very hard foods with a partial denture. While a partial denture is made from strong material it is not a natural tooth and is, therefore, easier to break. If you are looking for the strongest option consider dental implants.
