Late to Dinner

Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.

You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.

If the target is illegal as the spell tries to resolve, perhaps because it has been removed from the graveyard, you will not create a Food token.
