Ambrosia and Nectar are the sacred food of the Greek Gods. It is said to taste like the beholder's favorite food and was only eaten by the Gods and demi-Gods. It was made by the Goddesses Demeter(Goddess of the Fields) and her immortal daughter, Persephone(Goddess of Nature/Plants and Goddess of the Underworld, Hades' wife). If any mortals(humans) take it, they will burn up into nothing but a pile of ashes.
