Many myths and folk tales describe a food that is created by gods, magic, or science to feed people in a time of need. It goes by many names: manna, ambrosianote Not to be confused with the marshmallow and fruit dessert from the American South or the dairy products produced by the British company of that name., nectar, etc., but it is usually portrayed as a gift. It may taste like heaven, bread, or cardboard, but it is enough to keep you on your feet and doing what you need to do. In the first case, one should be wary, as it may also be highly addictive. This trope is Older Than Feudalism, going all the way back to Greek mythology and the concept of ambrosia, although in some cases it gets mixed up with the food eaten by the gods themselves that provides them with immortality, invulnerability, and so forth. In a Standard Fantasy Setting, priests and/or wizards may be able to conjure food; this is typically sustaining but bland. Such food may or may not follow conservation of energy. In a Science Fiction setting, Food Pills may be utilized; if not, vats or replicators may churn out gruel or paste for the masses that keeps them alive, if not necessarily happy, with "real food" available only to the privileged. The point is that the food in question comes from a "Black Box", whether it be magic or science that's involved in creating it. A typical dystopian subversion is that the food is created in an immoral or unsavory way. A subtrope of Supernatural Aid.

In The Chronicles of Prydain, Gurgi's magical wallet provides a neverending amount of food. The food is nutritious, though Eilonwy notes that it's rather tasteless. The wallet only runs out at the end of the series, when magic itself leaves Prydain forever. | |

Cuphead has several purchaseable items taking the form of foodstuff - for example, all the weapons appear as bottles of liquor. Then there's Chef Saltbaker and his Astral Cookie from the DLC: if a still-living person eats it, they will temporarily switch places with a ghost, allowing the latter to briefly return to life. The DLC's plot revolves around gathering the ingredients to bake a Wondertart, which can grant control of the Astral Plane itself and resurrect the dead permanently. | |

In He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002), the Andreenids, a humanoid insect race that inhabits Eternia, make a form of honey called Ambrosia that can enhance the strength of those who eat it. Skeletor once tried to use the Ambrosia in order to gain an advantage over He-Man. Unfortunately, while he briefly managed to overwhelm the hero, Skeletor soon learned what He-Man had known all along: only the Andreenids can use Ambrosia safely, but it quickly turns to toxic for anyone else. | |

The Daevabad Trilogy: Dara regularly creates food and drink with magic, unlike most other daeva. He's not good at the spell, though, so he's limited to flavourless travel rations, his Mom's favourite recipe, and date wine. Later, he's able to channel his intense homesickness into creating a full traditional feast for an army. | |

In Toriko, IGO President Ichiya's Full Course befitted his nature as a man who didn't regularly eat large amounts of food himself and cared more for feeding others. Each Ingredient is actually part of the process to hatch the egg of a Billion Bird, a bird with two special qualities: 1) every part of it including the feathers is edible and 2) a full grown Billion Bird is an Explosive Breeder that lays countless eggs (which immediately hatch) if scared. Ichiya prepared his Full Course for a time when humanity faced the prospect of famine since the Billion Bird's properties meant it could feed everyone easily. The only caveat is that the Billion Bird doesn't actually taste good, but fortunately the world's top chefs are skilled enough to cook delicious dishes using the Billion Birds anyway. The Billion Bird has a third special quality as well: the joy it feels at being appreciated as an Ingredient causes it to grow massive wings and take flight. During the flight it lays special golden eggs with a yolk so nutritious and delicious that Toriko decided to make it the Drink of his Full Course Menu. | |

The SCP Foundation has a number of SCPs which produce an endless supply of food. Appropriately enough, a Group of Interest called the "Manna Charitable Foundation" has attempted to exploit several of them to feed the poor. SCP-1176 is a sarcophagus that produces an extremely nourishing honey-like substance. This being the SCP Foundation universe, it's only after widespread distribution that they discovered it only works on those of a certain blood type, killing all the others. SCP-1615 is an edible fungus that causes the eater to survive via photosynthesis until a more stable food source can be found. Unlike SCP-1176, this was thoroughly tested before distribution, and the only apparent downside appears to be green discoloration of the skin of affected people. However, since photosynthesis only produces carbohydrates, nutritional supplements are necessary for maintaining long-term health. SCP-458 is an indestructible pizza box which, when opened, always contains the opener's favorite pizza. After extensive testing and no visible side effects, it currently resides in the site-17 canteen alongside an admonishment to not just pig out on free pizza but get some work done too. SCP-1689 is a sack of potatoes that never runs out of potatoes, although technically it’s just a portal to a gigantic extradimensional space specifically, an entire alternate Earth, and possibly beyond, filled with nothing but potatoes. An isolated Russian village has been using it as its sole food supply for over a century, leading to severe vitamin deficiencies. |

In Sweet Porridge, a magic pot will cook porridge in response to the instruction: "Cook, little pot, cook!" and continue to do so until told, "Stop, little pot, stop!" One day, when the girl who owns it is away from town, her mother tries to use it, but does not know the phrase to turn it off, and it floods the town with porridge. This story was adapted into the first Strega Nona book, using noodles instead. |

In The Stormlight Archive Soulcasters (basically alchemy by way of magitek) can transmute many substances, and can be used to easily mass-produce grain and meat, though in keeping with the trope it's bland and unsatisfying. The process is used mainly to allow Easy Logistics for moving armies. | |

The Scholomance: The titular Wizarding School generates all its cafeteria food from a nutritious but horrible tasting gruel that is magiced into normal seeming food shortly before being served, as the place is built in a magical Pocket Dimension and can't be supplied more normally. It ranges from "adequate" to "edible if you have something to counteract poison", but even that much takes a foundation of advanced Science Wizardry to transmute matter without destroying its nutrients. | |

Star Trek Universe: The replicators can recycle matter to synthesize almost anything, including food and drinks. Several episodes have seen the crew replicate food and other provisions for people in need. While there are some complaints that replicated food is inferior to the real thing, this is one of the better examples you're likely to find in science fiction, as it can effectively create any meal you want rather than something like bland food paste. | |

Rand Al'Thor causes this a few times late in The Wheel of Time series, in accordance with his emerging role as a Messianic Archetype. With the Dark One causing massive famine throughout the world, Rand's first act after undergoing major Epiphany Therapy and a Split-Personality Merge is to visit a farmer whose apple trees have spontaneously withered to rapidly bloom and bear fruit over a matter of minutes. Later, he visits a city dependent on grain reliefs which have all spoiled, and makes it so that, by extraordinary coincidence, only the handful of bags the officials checked were spoiled, the rest are perfectly good. | |

The Bible: God sent manna to feed the Israelites in their exile. Similarly to Soma, Manna's possible identity as a drug has been extensively debated. Elijah once encountered a widow and her son during a famine who were down to their last meal, but after they prepared a cake for him from what little they had, he promised them that their flour and oil would not run out until the drought and famine were over, and God fulfilled that promise so that even though they didn't get any more flour and oil, what little they had never ran out. His successor, Elisha, encountered a poor widow who was up to her eyeballs in debt and staring down the barrel of slavery. She had nothing in the house except for a small jar of olive oil. He assured her that everything would be okay, and instructed her to gather as many containers as she possibly could (and to borrow some from her neighbors, too), and pour the oil into them. She did as she was told, and God turned her meager cup of oil into several gallons' worth. Elisha then instructed her to sell the oil and use the profits to pay off her debt. Which she did, and she was able to live comfortably and not have to worry about being sold into slavery (or her children being sold into slavery). Jesus fed 5000 men plus women and children using five loaves and two fishes. On another occasion, He fed 4000 using a few loaves of bread. |

The Raven Tower: The Healer God Oissen's most famous accomplishment is discovering how to create food out of the air, which he describes as using divine Reality Warping to imitate the biological processes plants use to grow and produce nutrients. It requires precise understanding of the underlying chemistry and is more difficult still to produce food that won't cause malnutrition in the long term. The first sign that Oissen isn’t as benevolent as he appears is the reveal that he’s been feeding slaves exclusively on certain types of his created food to study how that malnutrition develops and how it eventually kills them. | |
