A group of friends are out on a hunt in search for buried treasure. At last, after days of excursion, they arrive at the spot marked on their Treasure Map and start digging. Once they get the treasure chest unearthed, they open it with great anticipation. However, once they get it opened, they discover that the treasure chest actually contains food instead of gold or jewels. Of course, a group of starving adventurers would prefer food to gold and gems. Especially if one happens to be a Big Eater. A Comedy Trope where a treasure is actually discovered to be food of any sort, instead of the usual treasure of gold, silver, or diamonds. A subtrope to Worthless Treasure Twist. Compare Worthless Yellow Rocks, And Your Reward Is Edible. Not to be confused with Edible Collectible, which is when food is an arbitrary collectible or bonus point-granting item in a video game. Not related to Tasty Gold besides being about treasure. |

The Addams Family: The episode "The Great Treasure Hunt" ends just this way, with the reveal that the treasure chest is full of edible treats, (possibly chocolate coins, although the old black and white makes it hard to tell) but the Addams family, being the odd family they are, are quite content with their find anyway. | |

One story arc in Lee Falk's The Phantom has the children, Kit and Heloise, unearth a treasure chest. When opened, the contents are found to be common kitchen spices. At the time the chest was buried, however, such spices were uncommon, and often as valuable as gold. | |

This is a common trope in comic books. For example, one Richie Rich short story has him show two friends a "treasure map" then when they find the chest, it's full of picnic food. (As they gleefully eat the food, Richie is winking confidentially and making the "okay" sign with his fingers to his butler, who is hiding not far away.) | |

Mr. Bogus: One of Bogus's dreams in the second act of the episode "No Snooze Is Good News" had Bogus dressed as a pirate open up a treasure chest full of doughnuts. In the third act of the episode "Waterboy Bogus", Bogus and Brattus are set to work by Ratty and Mole, in order to find buried treasure at the bottom of the ocean floor at the aquarium (long story). After the treasure chest is unearthed, Ratty and Mole open it up with great anticipation, but become disappointed upon discovering that the treasure chest actually contained lots of cheeseburgers, much to Bogus's delight. |

In one of Touhou Project Spin-Off manga Silent Sinner in Blue, Yukari manipulated Remilia and Reimu into going to the moon to battle the Lunarians. They are actually a distraction so that Yukari can sneak into the Lunar Capital and steal some treasures. Then it turns out that Yukari herself is also a distraction and Yuyuko is the one who sneaked in. What treasure did Yuyuko steal? A bottle of sake. Although an especially tasty one, and Yukari considers it being a victory, as Lunarians cannot get the sake back once they drink it. | |

In Minecraft, you can sometimes find food items like Bread and Cooked Fish and both Buried Treasure and Sunken Ships. And as a bonus, you can also find Suspicious Stew. Which begs the question as to how can fully-cooked fish and bread stay preserved for so long while stews just rot? | |

In Delicious in Dungeon, Team Touden come across a chest of what they think is treasure, but actually turns out to be treasure bugs. Their Supreme Chef is happy to make them into a meal after they sort out the edible bugs from the inedible ones. He later remarks that the “inedible treasure bugs” are inedible because they’re actual treasure — after the team’s disposed of it down a pit. Further played with in a later omake, which reveals that certain varieties of treasure bug can be sold to collectors for far more than the treasure they imitate — after the team’s eaten them. | |

Played with in Codename: Kids Next Door where the food — specifically candy — is literally treasure, apparently worth more than gold. This leads to a number of pirate and Indiana Jones-style romps as Numbuh Five continues her everlasting quest to satisfy her Sweet Tooth. The "Fourth Flavor" is a mysterious main ice cream flavor outside of Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry. It is so sacred, that it is taboo to add any toppings to it. It was supposedly buried in a hidden temple when the Delightful Children topped it with sprinkles. Numbuh Five managed to get a taste of it. As the series went on, it is hinted that the Fourth Flavor was salvaged and has since became common. |

In the epilogue of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Professor Frankly finds a treasure chest in the titular door that contains... a dried mushroom. This isn't entirely worthless to Frankly on an archaeological standpoint, because this proves that the people of the ancient city ate mushrooms a thousand years ago. | |

Played with in Episode 8 of the Little Lulu anime, where Tubby, Wilbur, and Iggy decide to hide their lunch in a makeshift treasure chest (actually a lunchbox), and bury it on a nearby island all while pretending to be pirates. However, when they decide to go back to the island to dig up their treasure, Lulu and Annie tag along, all while also bringing along with them a dog that they had found while in town. After the treasure is found, the tables are turned on the boys when the dog refuses to let Tubby get near the treasure (presumably as payback for Tubby insulting the dog as being worthless earlier). | |

The Smurfs (1981) episode "Spelunking Smurfs" has the Smurfs discovering a treasure trove of frozen food hidden in a cave along with a diamond and a frozen ogre who stole both the food and the diamond. The Smurfs use Vanity's mirrors to reflect the sunlight unto the diamond so that the food would be unfrozen, but it also unfreezes the ogre, who tries to stop the Smurfs from taking his food. When Papa Smurf reminds him of what the diamond did to him the last time he was selfish, the ogre allows them to take what they need along with the diamond. Soon after, Gargamel catches the Smurfs and takes the diamond from the Smurfs, and because of his selfish heart, the diamond seals up Gargamel in ice. | |
