Official rulings
Four official rulings apply to Experimental Confectioner, newest first.
- If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Tough Cookie (an Artifact Creature - Food Golem) to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost).
- 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.
- Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
- Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
