This is the god of whatever food is the basis for a culture's survival — usually grain, but for a steppe people it might be grass for animals and for a coastal people it might be fish, or whatever is appropriate to a given environment. Because of their inherently lifegiving portfolio, these tend to be among the nicest or friendliest of gods. Often a Love God as well to associate different types of fertility. For Older Than Dirt cultures who considered food a type of currency, these deities could also be a type of wealth god. Compare Anthropomorphic Vice, which are Anthropomorphic Personifications of various vices, including food and drink; and Supreme Chef, who fulfills the other, more figurative sense of "food god". This is often one specific function of a Fertility God. Not to be confused with FoodgÅ�d, the new moniker of Kim Kardashian's friend Jonathan Cheban. Examples |

Similar to the SCP Foundation example above, in the "Fantasy High" storyline of Dimension 20, Kristen starts off as a cleric of Helio, the god of corn (and more generally, of the harvest). Later on we meet a devil called "Gorthalax the Insatiable", who had previously been an angel named "Gorthiel the Seraph of Eating the Right Amount of Food", so clearly food and satiety are important concepts in this religion. | |

The religion of Story of Seasons revolves around the Harvest Goddess and her Harvest Sprites. Several games also feature the Harvest King and Harvest God, albeit as lesser gods compared to the Harvest Goddess. The Harvest Goddess and Harvest King can be interacted with by the player and even married in many games. | |

The Riders of Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind have several gods whose blessings provide food. The player is likely to need every one of them before the game ends: Busenari, goddess of cattle. Uryarda, goddess of goats. Pela, goddess of barley and the land. Inilla, goddess of foraging (finding food in the wild). Dostal, god of the hunt. And finally, Nyalda the Earth Mother does not directly help with food, but she's very much associated with it, and is the mother of all the above gods except Dostal (who's Inilla's husband). |

SCP Foundation: SCP-1846 claims to be an angel of the one true god — a corn god who decides how good an afterlife people get based entirely on how much corn they eat and use. Whether or not it's true, the "angel" has a coating of corn leaves and a corn-specific Green Thumb. | |

The Discworld has many: The Hogfather, in addition to being a Santa Claus Expy, has elements of this, specializing in pork products. Epidity, God of Potatoes, lord of a Potato Cult. There is a God of Custard, Nog-Humpty While the details are obscure, the Grace Bissonomy has divine associations with both oysters, or perhaps bivalve aquatic mollusks in general, and is depicted in iconography as brandishing a bunch of root vegetables that might be parsnips. Or perhaps carrots. Small Gods briefly mentions a God of Lettuce. |

City-Building Series: In Pharaoh, both Bast and Osiris fill this role. Bast can provide additional food and goods to houses and decrease the rate those goods are consumed. If angered, she will do the opposite, as well as angering the people in general. Osiris can increase the potency of the Nile's flooding and increase the size of the harvest. If angered, he will withhold the flood and reduce the harvest sizes, or send a flood so strong it washes away the floodplain farms. In Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom: While he's summoned to the city, the "Kitchen God" Zao Jun blesses food shops with extra resources and creates top-quality food in the houses he passes. Zeus: Master of Olympus: Having a sanctuary to Demeter, Artemis, Hera or Poseidon lets you pray to them to fill granaries with food (crops, game meat, oranges or seafood respectively). Of course, if they're antagonistic towards you in that mission the opposite happens. |

Wonder Woman: While the original comics took little from Classical Mythology beyond a few names the Post-Crisis comics made sure to depict Demeter's tie to grain and Dionysus' tie to grapes. Dionysus even chooses to manifest with a curly purple hair and beard that look like grapes in most of his appearances. | |

Minoriko Aki from Touhou Project is a harvest goddess in Gensokyo, albeit not a very powerful one due to having to share faith with numerous far more powerful deities in the same sphere. She is however considered one of the friendliest deities to humans, and she's invited to the Human Village every year in order to guarantee a good harvest. | |

Lucoa from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is a former goddess of agriculture and wisdom (in keeping with her being a Gender Flip of Quetzalcoatl). Despite no longer being divine, she still feels a subconscious desire to aid farmers, and one chapter of Kanna's Daily Life shows that she does volunteer farmwork in her spare time. | |

Six Ages' predecessor King of Dragon Pass also has a host of food gods, most but not all associated with farming. These include: Uralda, goddess of cattle. The other animal mothers, including Mralota the pig goddess and Nevala the sheep goddess. Esra the barley goddess and her fellow grain mothers. Barntar, god of farmers, also helps with the harvest. Ernalda, another Earth Mother (or possibly the same one by a different name), who takes a much more active interest in farming than Nyalda, having several food-related blessings to offer. Odayla, god of hunting. And the war gods Elmal and Orlanth each chip in to help the crops as well. |
