A character who has been established as a foreigner to the work's setting (sometimes even a literal Alien) tries out the local food, and finds out a dish they particularly like. Oftentimes, it'll be the first thing they try and they'll have little interest in trying anything else. Compare Alien Catnip and Mundane Object Amazement. A Sub-Trope of Klingons Love Shakespeare. Sister trope to Trademark Favorite Food. |

The titular character of Aquamarine added salt to everything she ate, but that probably has to do with her being a mermaid and all and used to salt water. The actress who played her, Sara Paxton, was actually pouring lots and lots of sugar to mimic the look without actually having to eat all that salt. | |

The Observers on Fringe (wherever they're from) have been seen eating excessively spicy foods, from drinking straight hot sauce, to dumping an entire shaker of pepper on a sandwich. It's later revealed that they need to do this if they want to taste their food at all. | |

In Puyo Puyo Tetris, Tee hails from a different dimension than the main Puyo Puyo cast. He quickly takes a liking to sweets once he's introduced to them by Lemres, who's surprised to hear such foods don't exist in his Tetris universe. In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, Tee's first mate Ess also develops a thing for sweets. | |

The Bird-like alien Falco (not to be confused with THAT Falco) isn't especially fond of Earth foods (In one episode, he tries maple syrup and ends up wiping his tongue on the floor). But he does seem to be extremely fond of salmon, especially while it's still live and squirming, which makes sense considering he's an evolved alien heron. | |

Death Note Ryuk loved apples. He knew apples in his own world, but claimed the Earth ones had far superior taste. At one point he brings a Shinigami Realm apple to Earth and offers it to Misa, who complains that it tastes like sand. Sidoh develops a love of chocolate from Mello. A Shinigami in a stand-alone sequel story who tried and failed to copy Ryuk by giving a Death Note to another human indulges in bananas. In Chapter 109, the bonus chapter included in Volume 13 "How To Read", the Shinigami King is revealed to have adopted apples as well as his favorite. During the run of the series, he puts in a rule that prevents shinigami from getting a new Death Note if they lose theirs (after seeing what hijinks Ryuk gets into). By the time Chapter 109 rolls around, he'll give them out in exchange for two apples. |

Animorphs: Andalites eat through their hooves, and tend to become Sense Freaks when they morph human and get taste buds for the first time. Ax will eat practically anything, but his cinnamon buns are his favorite by far. In another book, a female Andalite goes nuts for jelly beans. After the war is over, Andalites start going on taste tours on Earth where they take on human form and visit food courts. They eventually end up trading some valuable scientific knowledge and technology...in exchange for having a donut shop opened up on their homeworld. |

In To Love Ru, alien assassin and bioweapon Konjiki no Yami doesn't need food for sustenance, but she develops fondness for taiyaki after Rito (her target at the time) offered her some as a show of good faith. Later chapters show that it's effectively the only thing she eats during her stay on Earth, and she's a very familiar face to the vendors who sell it. | |

The Doctor rather likes jelly babies in a lot of his incarnations. He's probably more often seen offering them to other people (often in random, inappropriate situations) than eating them himself, though. Later he grows very fond of fish fingers and custard. | |

Space Beasts The Bird-like alien Falco (not to be confused with THAT Falco) isn't especially fond of Earth foods (In one episode, he tries maple syrup and ends up wiping his tongue on the floor). But he does seem to be extremely fond of salmon, especially while it's still live and squirming, which makes sense considering he's an evolved alien heron. On a similar note Zander (who is a member of the same species as Falco) is also fond of Earth's fish, but he also seems to be very fond of apples — this may be because his mate Matoaka gave him an apple as a present the second time they met. This simple gesture seemed to have great emotional significance for Zander. Special mention goes to The God of the Plot, who goes absolutely nuts for curry — seriously it's one of the few things that calm him down when he is mad about disruptions in the plot. |
