I've kind of headcanoned that offerings made to deities are really just to get their attention and it's more about the action than the thing being offered. The people who run the temples decide which offerings are sent on to the deity, but if it's stuff like food or items like money, they use it to keep the temple running and/or put it back into the community.

except if a deity really likes a certain food, like Ishmael's attendants might always send him a casserole from someone who frequents the temple
