What are all the foods associated with each of the Greek gods?

The most common food associated with the Greek gods is ambrosia, which is the food of the gods. Ambrosia was claimed to be very hazardous to humans, and only gods were able to eat it. There is also the grape which is associated with Dionysus, the greek god of wine. The fig and apple was commonly given to the greek gods as offerings. There is also the olive, which was created by a certain greek god, although I cant remember which one. Mostly all the foods eaten by the Greeks were associated to the gods, for the people believed that the gods had made all plants and living things.
