The planet Earth is a very diverse place, with many different cultures, each of which has its own traditions, history, worldview, and menu. For the hapless traveler, encountering a new and very different food can be an unsettling experience of the Squick-tastic variety. This is very much Truth in Television and often finds its way into fiction as well, where it is usually played for laughs. Plus, it's an easy challenge for a Reality Show to pull off. For example, referenced in the page image is Hákarl, fermented Greenland shark buried in the ground for 6-12 weeks then cut into strips and hung to dry for several months. It's a true delicacy in Iceland. One common variant of this gag is for a person to enjoy the food at first but get Squicked out when he asks what it is. Foods like this may taste like feet and may appear as a Masochist's Meal, or more rarely, be considered tasty by a character, especially a Big Eater. Contrast with I Ate WHAT?!, when a person ingests something and then learns what it was. Note that most Foreign Queasine is automatically Stock "Yuck!" material. Occasionally combined with Dinner Order Flub. If an animal which the diner's culture considers too gross to eat is consumed out of sheer desperation, rather than because it's acceptable fare among foreigners, that's Reduced to Ratburgers. When the food is from a more fantastic setting, it's Weird World, Weird Food. For the non-culinary equivalent, see Americans Hate Tingle. See also Haggis Is Horrible and Asians Eat Pets, two Sub-Tropes. For when it's just one particular chef's palate that's way out of the norm, see Cordon Bleugh Chef. Compare Haute Cuisine Is Weird. No Real Life Examples, Please! There may be Values Dissonance, and taste is subjective. noreallife |

Samurai Jack: Jack visits the Scotsman's home (not Scotland itself) and is offered haggis. They even use some of the same lines as the Highlander quote above. Subverted when Jack gets offered some food by an alien race and, upon seeing it, is delighted to have sushi and sashimi which he is very used to. The aliens look on with startled amazement that anyone else would eat it. |

In Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and Chip travel around the world, and one optional thing to do is to try out the local foods of the various Fantasy Counterpart Cultures they're in. If Sonic feeds Chip, Chip will provide his opinions on whatever Sonic gives him. Some of them he likes, and some of them he doesn't, the latter fitting this trope. In particular is the Canned Horror found in Holoska (their counterpart to Surströmming), which causes Chip to engage in Symbol Swearing after he tries it out. | |

Ranma ½: Inverted in the first movie. Akane has been taken prisoner by a Chinese clan that eats only rice and pickled vegetables. She asks if she can have some fried eggs, and her kidnapper responds, aghast, "You eat bird embryos?" Akane mistakes it for some bizarre and confining cultural belief, decides that this is no way to live, and cooks them up a proper meal. The main villain-captor-person-guy tries some... and almost immediately collapses in agony. Though this isn't just because Akane is a really bad cook; turns out that where they came from, the populace had been on the rice-and-pickle diet for so long that now their digestive systems couldn't actually handle anything else. |

In the Terok Nor novels, we get a look at the Cardassian equivalent of coffee: hot fish juice. Okay, the Cardies are reptiles, but still, squick. They also have something called "kamoy syrup". Not much is said about it, other than that it's pink and not even a Horta can stomach it, and they eat literal rocks. |

One episode of Pawn Stars has Old Man order Chumlee to go out and buy the best coffee he can find. He does, and everyone loves it, but when asked what kind it is, the others (except for Old Man) react this way when they find out that it's civet coffee...note This is a gourmet kind of coffee that's brewed from beans... eaten and then excreted by a kind of Indonesian mammal. Yes, they pick the beans out of civet droppings before cooking them and making coffee from them. | |

CSI: NY: "Fare Game" centers on an event where diners paid high prices to eat exotic cuisine, with each day featuring different types. The victim dies after the seafood day (which features live baby octopi), and Danny and Flack show up for questioning during the insect day. Danny slurps down a giant centipede when it's offered to him, and later, he brings back more of the stuff which Lindsay also eats, biting into a fried tarantula on a stick. The rest of the team are completely grossed out, and Mac invites them to his office for pizza. | |

Iron Chef. The feeling is apparently mutual, as many items and dishes that looked normal to Western eyes were greeted with dismay (occasionally bordering on horror) by the commentators. And sometimes food that sounds quite appetizing to the American sushi-eater's palate will become this due to the way Japanese chefs butcher animals without killing them first, like the infamous Battle Octopus. In one very notable appearance, judge Julie Dreyfus (yes, the chick in Kill Bill) flat out refused to eat one dish because one of the ingredients was whale tongue (which isn't as taboo in Japan as it is in other countries, and let's leave it at that), and it's likely that cost challenger Toshiro Kandagawa the win in that battle. | |

Used in The Simpsons: In "Lisa the Beauty Queen", Groundskeeper Willie trying to sell haggis at a school fair. There were no stalls anywhere near his. In "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson", Homer's only option for food in New York City is a street vendor selling something foreign and disgusting on a stick called "khlav kalash", which he washes down with a hefty serving of crab juice (which he chose over Mountain Dew). In the episode "Helter Shelter," the family meets a group of reality show contestants in the wilderness. The group was abandoned there when one of the contestants "just couldn't eat any more kangaroo testicles." Now, he can't get enough of them. In "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", when Shary Bobbins serves the Simpsons British cuisine, Homer is seen enjoying blood pudding until Bart tells him that the secret ingredient is, in fact, blood. Homer is immediately put off and eats brain-and-kidney pie instead. In the "Treehouse of Horror XV" segment "Four Beheadings and a Funeral", Chief Wiggum (as Inspector Wiggum) loves eel pie, but the dish is portrayed as revolting, which even he acknowledges. |

In Breath of Fire II, SimaFort is a castle populated with a race of Frog Men (French Frog Men, no less). Cooking is fairly Serious Business for them, albeit with dishes like "cockroach and green onion salad", "worms in caramel sauce", and "gold fly pudding". While Prince Jean is considered a Supreme Chef by his own people's standards, the rest of your party doesn't have the stomach for his cuisine. | |

The Weekenders: Carver falls victim to this when he scarfs down a large amount of a foreign dish Tish's parents made, only to later find out that it was stuffed with ostrich meat. Carver is shocked and then disgusted, and Tino can only gasp, "JIMMY!" Lor also made her friends eat haggis once at a Scottish festival. When they asked her what it was, she said "If I told you what it is, you wouldn't eat it. In fact, you might not eat anything ever again." Tino's mom later comments that his breath smells like sheep. The Food Museum was usually the basis of Incredibly Lame Fun jokes... but then there was the episode where they offered samples of hakarl. |

In Crest of the Stars (the sequel series Banner of the Stars), Samson's home planet Midgrat considers cat a delicacy. His Abh colleagues, among whom cats are the preferred household pet, are generally not amused when he brings this up. He promises not to make any of those dishes when he makes a Midgrat style meal in Banner of the Stars II. Midgrat's decision to join the Abh Empire instead of Four Nation Alliance stemmed exactly from their culinary practices. When envoys from the major powers came to Midgrat they were each honored with a banquet featuring a cat centerdish. While the other powers expressed shock and disgust, the Abh partook with no comment. They still found it disgusting but figured it wasn't their place to tell other cultures what they could or could not eat. | |

In American Born Chinese, the horrible Chinese caricature Chin-Kee eats fried cat gizzards, to the disgust of the other students at school. Cats (being mammals) don't actually have gizzards, but the mistake wasn't Gene Luen Yang's — the phrase was used as a Take That! to a notorious anti-Chinese cartoon by the famous US political cartoonist Pat Oliphant. | |

In early 2024, Adam Richman Eats Britain sees the American foodie touring Britain in search of some of its eponymous best eating. He eats a sandwich in Sandwich, a bakewell pudding in Bakewell, and... you get the theme. While Adam is delighted and enthralled with the very best Britain has to offer the world, because Britain has such a diabolical reputation as a culinary blackspot, . he still feels compelled to end every show on an attempt to eat something which is not as stellar as a foodstuff. Usually, as the credits roll over, he is seen being disappointed by something British which is not world-class eating. | |

Ganymede Sea Rats of Cowboy Bebop are claimed to be a delicacy by various restaurants, allowing it to be sold at exorbitant prices. In fact, the little beasty is dirt-common and tastes horrible. The people of Ganymede only ate it while getting their colony operating and the various companies gathering the Rats had to find new markets once other food sources opened up. | |

The cookbook Alice is using is out on the counter but turned several pages when the wind blew through the window. Tatischeff looks at the cookbook to see what he's eating and it's on a rabbit recipe. | |

In one Garfield strip, Jon, Garfield, and Odie are at what is taken for a tribal-style restaurant where "Unguah" is the only thing on the menu. When they receive their meal and actually find it somewhat tasty, one of the waiters happens by and steps on something, exclaiming "AH! An unguah!" Cue panicked looks on the boys' faces with their mouths still full, and Garfield calling for the check. | |

In The Lost Boys, vampire David offers mortal Michael some rice, then tells him he's been eating maggots. After Michael recoils from his suddenly squirming food, David says it was just an optical illusion on his part: it's really rice after all. Then David, in a cruel double bluff, offers Michael a swig of human blood from a wine bottle, and despite the warning of his semi-vampiric crush Star that it's actually blood for real, Michael drinks it and becomes a semi-vampire himself. | |

Discworld The Colour of Magic: Rincewind is quite disgusted when he finds out that the "sea grape wine" is made from sea grapes — that is to say, a kind of small jellyfish. Jingo: Klatchians (a sort of Arabia-meets-India Fantasy Counterpart Culture) offer sheeps' eyes and similar disgusting things to foreigners who visit them. It turns out they don't actually eat these things but only do it to screw with tourists. Of course, it's no surprise this ends up subverted when we get to the D'regs, because they were trying to fool the ever-suspicious Sam Vimes, who wasn't going to eat it no matter who found it offensive. He did light his cigar on a camel-dung fire, but he said it "improved the flavor". Sam Vimes also later discovers that "vindaloo" roughly translates to "mouth scalding gristle for macho foreign idiots." Witches Abroad: The unusual (but delicious) cuisine of Genua is born of desperate ingenuity: "No one would eat shark's fin soup if they were allowed to eat the rest of the shark." This gets thrown out the window by The Last Continent when Rincewind notes that shark meat tastes like boots that have been pissed on. Truth in Television; shark meat as a rule is saturated with urea, the primary chemical component of urine, and needs to be blanched to make it edible. Although if you're that desperate, there's worse. Interesting Times: "The big meal here is pig's ear soup. You know what that tells me? It tells me someone else already pinched the rest of the pig." In The Last Continent, one of his asides describes "local specialty" as "stuff that people from everywhere else run away from really fast", or something to that effect. This is especially hammered for comedic effect when the local Dibbler (Fair Go) sells Pie Floaters. In Feet of Clay, the uber-proletarian Nobby Nobbs is very briefly elevated to the aristocracy as Earl de Nobbes and alleged pretender to the throne. The members of the aristocracy are forced to toady to him and treat his every whim as if it were Royal Command, so when he orders a pig-knuckle sandwich — and if you're really feeling posh you can cut the toenails off — they have no choice other than to partake of hitherto unknown proletarian food. And a boiled pig's foot tastes every bit as appealing as it sounds. The aristocrats are also forced to drink beer by the pint. Ankh-Morpork is called "The Big Wahooni"; in the Discworld Companion it is explained that the wahooni is a particularly disgusting fruit. The description of the wahooni(e) is based on the durian. Discworld dwarfs consider rat a delicacy and are squicked out if offered meat from more repellent animals, like chicken, cows and, ugggh, pigs. In one book, trading standards and environmental health issues are caused by a Dwarf passing off sirloin steak as prime rat. Some actual recipes for Foreign Queasine are included in Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, including a simulation of rat pizza (a favorite among dwarfs) using sliced vegetables and pressed ham arranged into rodent shapes. The last step in preparing it is to go hide under the bed, overcome by squickiness. According to Nanny Ogg, the best cuisine comes from countries where there wasn't much to cook, so they cooked everything. "No-one is going to invent bird's nest soup because they want to." Witches Abroad also features Granny declaring that one foreign dish was nice enough, but it's called cuisse de grenouille "and who knows what that means?" Nanny does (frog's legs) and makes the mistake of telling her, then tries to claim it's a joke name like toad-in-the-hole. In Sourcery, the Seriph of Klatch's Wilderness is based on various poetic wildernesses, although he admits he never really understood the bit about "wild honey and locusts". Conina explains that "locusts" in this context refers to the honey-locust plant, and the Seriph turns to where Rincewind had been quite enjoying the crunchy honey things and tells him he might as well finish them off... |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Being a huge foodie, this kind of cuisine is practically Charles Boyle's Trademark Favorite Food. He will constantly recommend the most obscure ethnic restaurants and make a beeline for the gnarliest thing on the menu. Some of the tamest examples are when he deals with a breakup by compulsively snacking on Japanese octopus balls, and when he recommends a Hungarian restaurant on the strength of their "platter of a thousand sausages" (which cause nonstop dumps, according to Jake). It also doesn't help that he always describes food in the most unwittingly disgusting terms imaginable. | |

Final Fantasy XIV: The Mords of Mord Souq have a number of delicacies that are an acquired taste at best. These include mushloaf, a type of mushy bread filled with the fruit of a cactus, chewy skewers, a type of lizard roasted on a stick, and glazed wrigglers, which are glazed worms. To earn the trust of the people of Mord Souq, the Warrior "cracks their coinpurse" and downs an enormous amount of the stuff, leaving them feeling queasy, bloated, and eager to walk it off. Sharlayan's insistence on efficiency and function over form means that its cooking tends to be Nondescript, Nasty, Nutritious. Its signature and most commonly seen foodstuff, archon loaf, was invented by a researcher who specifically did not account for flavor in his recipe. The resulting product is inexpensive and incredibly nutritious, but also dense and foul-tasting. The same researcher would invent "panaloaf", an even more nutritious and even worse-tasting bread that instantly induces nausea even when consumed by those who regularly eat archon loaf. This culinary philosophy is so profound that there's exactly one restaurant in the entire city-state that serves food designed to be delicious. |

World of Warcraft has all sorts of dishes, which can be fairly normal like boar meat, or roasted quail, to more exotic but still looking edible, like bat wings, bear burgers, or crunchy serpent. Then you get dishes everyone seems to look at with disgust like Sewer Carp, Mud Pie (made with dirt and coyote tails), or anything cooked by the chefs in Undercity (with the exception of the thrice-spiced cockroach stew, which is apparently surprisingly delicious). Many of the recipes in the Shadowlands expansion are deliberately strange, because you're in the afterlife and a lot of the locals don't eat and/or have weird tastes. Local delicacies include ribs marinated in butterscotch, steak served with ice cream on top, a "pickled meat smoothie" that contains aged vinegar, and candied fish cakes. |

A 2013 "This is SportsCenter" ad showed ESPN hiring "a world-renowned chef" for their cafeteria, who turns out to be the Swedish Chef. It cuts to the Chef explaining in his version of Swedish today's menu, which anchor Steve Levy can't understand and has to ask then-New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist to translate. Levy is clearly not eager to try it upon hearing Lundqvist explain that today's specials are pickled herring and blodkorv. | |

The Daily Show: A part of Jon Stewart's Earth (The Book) (a guide to aliens on everything Earth-related) is devoted to foods that one culture treats as a delicacy and everyone else finds revolting. The examples include haggis (supposedly, originally devised as a projectile to hurl at English invaders), hasma, balut, and Marshmallow Peeps (whose production apparently involves the use of spent fuel rods). For bonus points, the author compares haggis to the much more popular food that is made, among other things, from a pig's anus. And that's true, hot dogs are far more popular than haggis. |

Subverted in Grandia II. The group comes across a town that is apparently known for Arum Root, which one of them had heard was a delicacy in the area. When they sit down and try it, they unanimously agree that it's disgusting and can only hope/assume that it must be an acquired taste. However, it quickly turns out that the locals hate it just as much as they did; they're under a curse that completely robs them of their sense of taste, and due to it already being tasteless to begin with, it's the only thing they can actually stomach eating anymore, despite how revolting it is. | |

Scandinavia and the World: Iceland complains about Sweden and Norway's surströmming (fermented herring; "Wait, isn't 'fermented' pretty much the same as 'rotten'?") Denmark thinks he's found a kindred spirit until Iceland continues; "Rotten fish is for pussies! I only eat rotten, poisonous shark that has been buried for twelve weeks!" The writer put a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer in the notes; hákarl is a genuine Icelandic dish made from shark which has been buried for some time. (It has to be fermented that long, otherwise the amount of urea in the shark's flesh would make it completely inedible.) King Europe is not fond of mämmi, to Åland's dismay. |

In the first Eagle Eye Mysteries game, Hot Librarian Mrs. Garcia tells you that when she was a little girl growing up in Mexico, she and her family ate iguanas as a delicacy. The protagonists are quite grossed out (especially since they have an iguana as a pet), but she assures you that it actually Tastes Like Chicken. | |

The Order of the Stick: Elan is rather put off his appetite on learning that a delicacy in the Empire of Blood is phoenix pâté. Since phoenixes explode when they die, the liver has to be cut out while they're still alive. He decides to wait for the main course, which is unicorn flank. Both of these creatures in Dungeons & Dragons are good-aligned and are smarter than most humans. | |

Jingo: Klatchians (a sort of Arabia-meets-India Fantasy Counterpart Culture) offer sheeps' eyes and similar disgusting things to foreigners who visit them. It turns out they don't actually eat these things but only do it to screw with tourists. Of course, it's no surprise this ends up subverted when we get to the D'regs, because they were trying to fool the ever-suspicious Sam Vimes, who wasn't going to eat it no matter who found it offensive. He did light his cigar on a camel-dung fire, but he said it "improved the flavor". Sam Vimes also later discovers that "vindaloo" roughly translates to "mouth scalding gristle for macho foreign idiots." | |

In Schlock Mercenary, 31st-century cuisine is usually a combination of various cultures, but "Panda Gonzales, home of authentic Hong-Kong-Tex-Mex" is found on a space colony that's been on the verge of famine since it was built. The house specialty is a mixture of huitlacoche and fermented soybeans; they call it Smutto. | |

Vorkosigan Saga: Cordelia Vorkosigan has the same problem fairly often when she moves from hypercivilized and technologically advanced Beta Colony to the barbarian backwater of Barrayar. Notably, on one occasion young Miles catches some fish in the lake at Vorkosigan Surleau, and proudly brings them in to feed the family, only later realizing that his mother's enthusiasm was entirely an act for his benefit when he notices he's never seen her eat anything but vat protein except that once.... In the very first book, Cordelia ate a steak from an animal she and her future husband personally caught, killed and cooked. Of course, they had been living on a diet of oatmeal and blue cheese salad dressing for several days (due to a lack of any other edible options) at that point, so she probably would have been willing to eat just about anything for an alternative meal. | |

My Cousin Vinny has a variation, replacing international cuisine for the merely regional: the very New York title character and his equally New York girlfriend visit a diner in Alabama and are stunned by the greasy, lard-fried cuisine of the Deep South, and are utterly perplexed by grits in particular ("What is a grit, anyways?"). As the film progresses and they are forced to spend more time there, they grow to appreciate grits, which end up being key to solving the entire mystery. | |

Dwarf Fortress: Cooking in this game is Cordon Bleugh Chef meets Foreign Queasine. Anything you make can be liked by a dwarf if they prefer one of the ingredients, of which there are a very wide variety. Dwarves waste nothing when they butcher an animal for food, preparing and eating things like the animal's heart, eyes, brains, and stomach. They will also butcher anything that is edible and not sentient. This includes titans and forgotten beasts, if they're not made of something like glass or amethyst. This can get a little weird when traders start bringing you stuff like barrels stuffed full of monarch butterfly brains. Elves and goblins take this a step further by practicing cannibalism; elves will eat the corpses of defeated foes and goblins are the only civilization that will straight-up butcher sentient creatures. Also, Dwarves will cook anything with anything else, which can result in some pretty unappetizing-sounding meals even if the ingredients themselves are normal. Oyster, yak cheese, and strawberry stew, anyone? Or how about a roast made from sugar, kangaroo milk, oil, and apple cider? |

In Shadow of the Conqueror, Cueseg has a low opinion of all Hamahran food. His hunger is stronger than his disgust, however, and he still ends up eating a ton of it. Ahrek later reveals to him that the source of the problem is him buying from the infamously low-quality Hamahran street vendors, rather than going to a restaurant. | |

In the Oggy and the Cockroaches episode "Roachy Redneck", Elvis, the cockroaches' redneck cousin, brings along his specialty cheese recipe. It's moldy, has worms crawling in it, and knocks out his cousins with one sniff, while he eats it no problem.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: This proves to be a bit of a Running Gag, with the ethically vegetarian Aang's reactions to Water Tribe cuisine. When the Gaang run into Bato, a Water Tribesman recovering from injuries before meeting with Katara and Sokka's father, he makes them stewed sea prunes, which Aang finds that he detests despite it not being meat. Meanwhile, in the Foggy Swamp, Sokka eagerly tucks into roasted bugs about as big as Momo. In the Fire Nation, Hama makes ocean kumquats, which all present state tastes pretty much identical to sea prunes. Makes a great amount of sense, as a monk such as Aang would have no experience with the "Let's see if we can eat this" situations of tribal cultures. | |

One such dish were Armenian Pancakes, which relied on sour goat's milk. Another was an Eskimo recipe for "blubber burgers", whale meat fried in seal fat. Mrs. Davis become more staid as time goes on, and the show moved to television. However, Miss Brooks complains of eating Hungarian Goulash in a later episode.

The infamous gagh of Star Trek. A traditional Klingon dish, it is basically live worms. There are apparently several varieties. For Klingons, gagh is considered to have "gone off" when it's dead. One Klingon general in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is put off his dinner because the gagh is barely moving. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Wounded" Miles and Keiko O'Brien have this reaction to Japanese and Irish cuisine, respectively. Granted, they're from very disparate Terran cultures, but one would expect newlyweds to have broken bread together before marriage. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In Prodigal Daughter, Ezri nearly loses her lunch when a shipment of gagh Jadzia ordered arrives on the station. The fondness apparently didn't migrate over from her. The memories did, however. |

Green Lantern: The Animated Series: Played straight and inverted at the same time, when Hal is disgusted by Kilowagg's lunch (a plate what appear to be worms or centipedes that are still alive and moving, though it could be that it's really Kilowagg's atrocious table manners that are what really bothers him), while Kilowagg finds Hal's cheese sandwich to be just as disgusting once Aya explains to him what cheese is. | |

In the Infinite Stratos OVA all the girls resolve to make a dish for dinner, including Cecilia the British representative, to the horror of the other girls. Their fears are realized when she cooks by color ("more red!"), spouts metaphors about coming back from defeat, and tries to jazz it up with a laser cannon. There are other instances during the series proper where British culinary skill is ridiculed. | |

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, when the students from foreign schools arrive at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament, several foreign dishes are added to the food options of the great hall. Ron seems incredibly disgusted with a bowl of Bouillabaisse (French seafood soup), while Hermione assures him it tastes great. | |

Ultraman Mebius: The C-PIN 929 is an artificial food source that the Fantonians designed to solve their food crisis. It was clearly designed with no concern over whether it looks appetising, though, as it looks like a soccer ball-sized lump of flesh that quickly expands into a grotesque, amorphous pile of meat upon contact with air. Even the characters note that it looks quite unappetising upon first seeing it. | |

All becomes clear when he explains the Canadian forces in Korea are dependent on British Army rations and catering services. It is accepted by all that not even the 4077th's catering can be that bad. | |

In Darker than Black, the elderly Japanese landlord lady implies that the main character's people would eat "anything with four legs, except maybe desks"note That's an actual northern Chinese saying about Cantonese cuisine, so not surprising, since the main protagonist is masquerading as a Chinese student.. (He just laughs it off, probably secure in the knowledge that he's the best cook in the series anyway). | |

Kim Possible is not a fan of this trope. Throughout the series, her brain surgeon mother makes meatloaf made to look like brains, she declines an offer for squirrel stew, and nearly throws up when told about the various bugs that are considered a delicacy. Ron has his own moments, such as the time he ate some chips and found out that they'd been made from crickets. The movie "A Stitch in Time" also shows that Ron is disgusted by Norwegian food such as lamb and cabbage stew and meat cakes, but he pretends to like them because he doesn't want Kim to see how miserable he is while stuck in Norway. | |

In Not the Nine O'Clock News, survivors of an air crash in remote South American mountains are interviewed by a gently probing reporter. They were asked what they ate to keep alive in the snowy mountain wastelands in the weeks between their crash and the rescue. The survivors are reluctant to talk as if there is some big shameful secret. Then they begin revealing fragments about the "pink squiggly stuff" and the "disgusting squicky God-awful red stuff". Eventually, it turns out they'd been putting off the awful moment for as long as possible. But there was no choice. Once they'd finished off the dead bodies, the only thing left to eat was the pre-packaged airline food. | |

In an episode of The Wild Thornberrys, the Thornberry family, who are in South America, are eating capybara burgers. Debbie enjoys the burger until her father Nigel informs her that capybaras are giant rodents. On top of that, a capybara walks by the table where they are eating. In The Movie, Debbie eagerly scarfs down termites when Boko offers them to her. When she finds out what they are, she looks a little shocked, but politely describes them as "delicious." |

De Cape et de Crocs: Don Lope de Villalobos y Sangrin, a bipedal wolf, comes to realize that the reason he and his friend Armand (a fox) were nearly eaten by a savage tribe was that they consider dogs to be a delicacy. Halfway through a lunch offered by said tribe. And an aversion when the two are stuck in a very well-stocked galley along with the Turkish Rais Kader. The Rais produces an eggplant dish that Don Lope is afraid to taste at first, though it's due to the Christian/Muslim rivalry they have going on throughout the series (he loves it, as it turns out). |

Trolls: TrollsTopia: In "Potluck Poppy", when Poppy hosts a potluck, she encourages the Trolls to try foods from other tribes. However, the Techno Trolls offer her one of their dishes, "Gloop du Jour", which appears to be a revolting purple mass that's so offensive to the eyes that when Poppy begrudgingly attempts to get a taste, her tongue swats her spoon away. She destroys it by heating it up until it melts, but then Synth gives her "Gloop du Jour Extraordinare", an aged version that's larger and green. When she finally comes clean about her feelings on the dish, it turns out that the ooze was just what the dish is served in; the actual food underneath is an ice cream sandwich that Poppy ends up loving. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The Bosmer (Wood Elves) are bound to some unusual dietary restrictions due to the Green Pact, a deal they made with their patron deity to never harm the plant life in the forests of their homeland, Valenwood. Because they cannot harm the plant life in any way, they live on an almost strictly carnivorous diet (though it also includes honey, dairy, and mushrooms which do not count as plants), essentially Inverting Veganopia. In order to get around these restrictions, they are also known to eat a variety of insects. Thunderbugs, in particular, are used along with rotten meat to create the alcoholic beverage "Rotmeth." Additionally, they are known to smoke insects in their bone pipes instead of the usual plant matter smoked by most races. Another term of the Green Pact requires them to consume the bodies of fallen enemies, as they are not to be allowed to rot within Valenwood. It's been said in the lore that they fast before large battles so they can be hungry enough to eat their fallen foes. (This restriction is understandably relaxed for Bosmer outside of Valenwood, and its practice is said to be all but nonexistent as of the 4th Era.) The Sload, a race of "slugmen" native to the Coral Kingdoms of Thras to the west of Tamriel, are said to serve various molds and fungi as meals. One account even mentions Sload consuming a regurgitated substance from one of their elders. |

In Masterchef USA, the winner of a challenge got to set the theme for the next challenge, which was based around one of three European cuisines. Joe Bastianich revealed the first choice of Spanish cuisine, Graham Elliot revealed the second choice of French cuisine, and then Gordon Ramsay revealed the third and final choice of... British cuisine. Despite his attempts to talk it up, the contestant and the other two chefs glared at Ramsay with barely disguised contempt, before moving on to discuss whether Spanish or French cuisine would be the better choice. Similarly, in Season 3 the chefs were assigned to cook one of three desserts for an elimination challenge: American strawberry shortcake, Italian tiramisu... and English trifle. The chefs who got strawberry shortcake and tiramisu were going in confident, while the chefs who got the trifle were just left thinking "What is this shit?" Subverted though as Stacey and Monti's trifles were judged the best desserts submitted in the challenge. In Season 4, a Mystery Box was composed of ingredients from around the world... all labeled in the languages of the places they were from, which none of the contestants could read. Several contestants stuck to the familiar-looking foods (leafy greens, yam, flank steak), some still managed to find things they recognized (Bime), still others experimented with the unfamiliar items to varying degrees of success (Jordan), and some were, understandably, hopelessly lost. In Season 2, a Scottish lady named Pauline entered with a dish that used the classic example of this trope: Haggis. Gordon and Graham loved her dish, but Joe hated it. Haggis was also used to great effect by Fiona from Season 7 of the Australian version of the show; judge Matt Preston was initially disgusted by the idea of eating haggis, but liked the dish so much that he gave her an apron and a spot in the show. |

Looming Gaia: Many cultures around Looming Gaia eat food that many other people would find repulsive. For example: The gorgons of the Lamai Nation are known to cannibalize their dead relatives. They also drink Gruju, a drink made from maggots, and eat boiled snakes and fried frogs. Many troll cultures eat feces on special occasions, both animals' and their own. Many midlanders eat animal brains, despite them often containing prion diseases. Brodfesk from Folkvar Kingdom is raw fish and cheese between two pieces of bread, whose strong smell turns many away. Mogdir Kingdom's population eats a lot of grubs and giant caterpillars, and make milk and cheese out of their silk. The Damijani have Gosopli, an alcoholic drink made of extremely hot peppers that only red elves can safely drink. For others, it causes gastroinsestinal damage. Seelie Court's fairy cookies are nowadays made of sugar, but in the past, ground up bones of fallen soldiers were used instead. A good bit of Unseelie food contains blood, both of animals and peoples. There's also their cooked stray dog and Asinte, pasta that tastes like ash. Zareenite cuisine is so full of chemicals and preservatives that one will quickly lose their appetite. |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: Inverted in volume 4 when Katie, who is Farnish by birth (the series is set in Yelgland, which is roughly a Historical Fantasy version of England), makes the mistake of ordering jellied eels at the restaurant in the town of Galatea. Even resident Big Eater Nanao, who is from Yamatsu, has trouble getting them down. The Yelglish characters don't like it any better: according to Chela, her father is the only person she knows who actually enjoys this dish. | |

This trope played straight and played with as a running gag in the sitcom Perfect Strangers. Numerous times throughout the show's run Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) will often make and serve dishes from his home country of Mypos to his cousin Larry Appleton (Mark Linn-Baker), that contain bizarre (and vomit-inducing) ingredients such as yak bile and the bladders of sheep and pigs. The Season 3 episode "Come Fly with Me" centers on this trope, as Balki and Larry's flight attendant girlfriends Jennifer and Mary Anne get sick from eating Halkidikis (coincidentally sharing an alternate spelling of a Greek peninsula), described by Balki as the "travel food of Mypos", whose primary ingredients are the standard ingredients of milk, eggs, flour and honey, and goat spleen with mold aged to the point where it developed green fur on it. Inverted in the Season 3 episode "Just Desserts" with a dessert known as the Bibi-babka, which contains typical dessert ingredients and which Larry attempts to market (though he tries to make it in such a rushed fashion that they explode because they weren't made with love and care). |

In Feet of Clay, the uber-proletarian Nobby Nobbs is very briefly elevated to the aristocracy as Earl de Nobbes and alleged pretender to the throne. The members of the aristocracy are forced to toady to him and treat his every whim as if it were Royal Command, so when he orders a pig-knuckle sandwich — and if you're really feeling posh you can cut the toenails off — they have no choice other than to partake of hitherto unknown proletarian food. And a boiled pig's foot tastes every bit as appealing as it sounds. The aristocrats are also forced to drink beer by the pint. | |

One episode of Timon & Pumbaa had the titular duo create their own salsa out of bugs. The recipe becomes extremely popular and they're immediately put into the spotlight. Aware of the Squicktacular response that would come if the main ingredients become known to the public, Timon has Pumbaa swear to keep the secret to themselves and tell no one about it. Lo and behold, during a televised interview, Pumbaa (incapable of lying any longer) screams out the true nature of the salsa, causing everyone eating the salsa at the moment to spit the contents out in disgust, and their fame is gone almost overnight. | |

William has a hard time stomaching it when he's in Nilbog — at one point in his narration, he thinks that "I don't think dinner should glow in the dark." In a later scene, he's only able to bring himself to eat the local food because he can't see what it is. | |

Later, when a disgruntled Ukyo Kuonji serves the Kamikaze Pirates a Masochist's Meal made up of giant bugs, fried snakes, organ meats and other disgusting things, Shampoo tucks in with relish, claiming that in her village, there's a saying: "anything whose back faces the sky is for people to eat" — again, based on a real Chinese saying about food. | |

The Doctor Who serial "The Romans" has the TARDIS crew happily adapting to ancient Roman life. Barbara cooks supper and (mostly) wins praise from the Doctor, who you'd think might not be too surprisable about this sort of thing. In "The Mind of Evil" the Third Doctor becomes friendly with the Chinese ambassador. The Doctor is taken by the ambassador's invitation of dried squid and stewed jellyfish for dinner, but the Brigadier isn't as enthusiastic. It happens again in the New Series. In "Thin Ice" the Doctor's latest companion finds herself in a fair in Regency England. She declares her intention to try everything, then balks at eating sheep's heart and ox cheeks. |

Asterix: Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix are accidentally stranded in pre-Columbian America and are honored with a feast by the local Indians, Obelix asks what they are serving and discovers it is dog, heated up (the translation of hot dog has always been a source of comedy). Even a compulsive eater like Obelix is disgusted, putting his dish aside, and doesn't have the heart to let Dogmatix know what it's already eating. In Asterix in Britain, Obelix is relieved to find that the Britons eat boar like he does... except that they boil it in mint sauce! The poor thing! (The Gauls eat their boars spit-roasted.) A pair of Roman centurions threatened by a prefect to be boiled alive in mint sauce and fed to the lions comment: "How horrible!" "Yes, the poor beasts!" As Asterix and Obelix choke down their first taste of British beer, Anticlimax asks if they're warm enough. They pretend the barrel of magic potion they're carrying is full of the stuff to a Roman centurion, but then a messenger comes in to tell him to look for two Gauls carrying a secret weapon in a barrel. At the end, Anticlimax says they're going to throw their heroes a grand feast, with boiled boar and warm beer. Obelix insists on leaving right away. Again: Obelix REFUSES FOOD. In Asterix in Corsica, a Corsican cheese smells so bad Asterix and Obelix nearly pass out, and once the pirates enter the room in it with a torch, it explodes. In Asterix the Legionary, the Roman Army's menu turns out to be wheat (or corn, in some translations), bacon, and cheese cooked together to save time. Everyone (a Greek, a Goth, a Belgian, two Gauls, an Egyptian and a dog) is disgusted... except, of course, the Briton. |

In a Star Trek Expanded Universe novel, the crew travels to a planet populated by descendants of Chinese colonists, who have formed their own interstellar empire. Picard's task is to convince the Dragon (not that Dragon), the ruler of that empire, to ally with The Federation in order to fight off an invasion of Lizard Folk. To test Picard, the Dragon makes him eat increasingly exotic and vile food. Picard, having strict orders (and having eaten Klingon gagh), bravely tastes the dishes to the Dragon's delight. Eventually, however, the servers bring in a dish that looks and smells so bad that Picard is forced to refuse. The Dragon shrugs and throws it to the dog, who tries it and dies within seconds. The crew determines that someone is trying to kill the Dragon, but he dismisses the notion, assuming the cooks simply messed up. | |

But after he has a look in the bag with the deceased inside, he suggests a fourth option: eating her.

"Crocodile" Dundee: Sue (Linda Koslowski's character) is out with Mick Dundee in the middle of the Australian bush, and he goes about the stereotypical "bushman" thing of catching a monitor lizard and cooking it up in front of her, along with wild yams, grubs, and honeypot ants. She gives it a dubious look and asks if he's going have any. Mick Dundee's response? "Oh, you can live on it — but it tastes like shit." He then pulls out a can of beans, revealing that he's screwing with her. There is a callback to the scene from the bush in New York... where they have the same conversation, with the roles reversed, about a hot dog after she gets him one with all the toppings. Crocodile Dundee 2 has one of the aboriginal men eating a large bat he had cooked on an open fire. When a disgusted companion asked if he is enjoying it, he replies "Eh...needs garlic." |

In Demolition Man the main character John Spartan is forced, along with his companions, to take a trip into the city's sewers where rebels live. To try to dispel some of the suspicions that the sewers' inhabitants are directing at them, he orders a hamburger (and pays for it with someone else's Rolex). Halfway through eating it, he is reminded by one of his companions that there are no cows underground. He asks the vendor where the meat comes from and is told it's rat meat. He pauses for a moment, then cheerfully resumes eating, stating it's the best burger he's had in years (which is technically true, as he's spent the last couple decades in cryogenic stasis). | |

Richard Hammond usually suffers from this whenever Top Gear goes on an overseas trip. He wasn't interested in the snakes offered for dinner in Vietnam and was less than pleased with the lamb brain, testicles, and entire head that were ordered in a restaurant in Syria. Almost all food is like this to Hammond who likes very plain food, or at least that's how it appears on the show. Extreme Omnivores Jeremy Clarkson and James May will usually take advantage of the situation to torment him. | |

Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race: In "Bjorken Telephone", one of the challenges involved the teams choosing between finding a fossil and eating a plate of traditional Icelandic delicacies, which included eyeballs and boiled sheep's head. Even Owen was disgusted. Rich socialites Kelly and Taylor were so disgusted by the food offerings, they vomited twice. In "New Beijinging", the second challenge of the episode required one team member to deep fry a skewer of exotic animals, which may include bats, scorpions, and silkworms, and the other team member must eat said skewer. |

Terisa in Mordant's Need generally finds Mordant's food agreeable, but when Geraden treats her to a delicacy from his native province of Domne, it's all she can do to keep from letting him see how disgusting she finds it. It's not just her, either — Elega, who was raised in a different part of Mordant, has apparently tried it before and is of the opinion that Domne can keep it. | |

In Warrior Cats, the cats occasionally consider prey from other Clans' territories disgusting: there's a short story in Code of the Clans where a young One-Eye and Dappletail steal some fish after hearing RiverClan boast about them, only to realize that they hate the taste, and every other Clan expresses revulsion at the idea of ShadowClan eating frogs, toads, lizards, and the occasional rat. They may have a point about that last one, but the rest is likely just the result of the fact that ShadowClan lived in a swamp and they didn't. | |

A 1977 episode of Barney Miller had Yemana preparing shabu shabu, which he explains to Wojo is not "garbage" but a traditional Japanese delicacy, composed of fish heads, cabbage leaves, cucumber rinds, and celery tops. ("...Come to think of it, that is garbage.") At the end, Barney is forced to be the first to taste it, only to discover... it's actually pretty good. Yemana samples it himself and sighs and shakes his head. "Must have got the recipe wrong." | |

In March to the Sea, it's technically not "foreign", as atul and the like are native to Marduk, but the humans' habit of eating the large carnosaurs they encounter comes across to native Mardukians as utterly insane. The comparison made in-story is to eating T. Rex steak: even if it's delicious, what sort of lunatic would go treating a dangerous predator as a game animal? | |

Vermintide II: Bardin frequently mentions his fondness for troll meat, apparently a traditional cuisine in dwarf culture. His non-dwarf companions say that the smell is too revolting to unleash in the Player Headquarters, never mind the taste. In Warhammer Fantasy proper, troll meat is exclusively a foodstuff consumed by orcs and goblins, and even they regard it as a cross between an Eating Contest and a Masochist's Meal; trolls have such a potent Healing Factor that there is every possibility that eating troll meat will result in a fully-sized troll reforming inside your stomach and tearing its way free. One goblin special character, Grom the Paunch, became legendary when he attempted to eat troll meat and survived with a half-formed troll permanently lodged in his guts. | |

In Amphibia, a land populated by amphibians, a great deal of the local diet consists of insects. At one point Anne (a human) is disturbed to discover she's come to enjoy the taste of beetles and pillbugs. A great many insects are edible, and are sold as snacks in various parts of the world. Even after returning to Earth, Anne sees no problem with using cicadas as a cookie ingredient or casually revealing she's used such an ingredient to her mother, who just taste-tested the result. | |

In an aversion of the usual trope, when they finally do try it, they find it just as disgusting as they expected. | |

In Frasier, Daphne Moon squicks out the Cranes by coming home with a large shapeless something in a bag, proclaiming that she is going to make a delicacy from home, sheep's head stew. This is Truth in Television. Lamb's head stew was not unknown in the North of England as a means of making the most of a cheap cut of meat. A cookery book dated 1905 has a recipe for sheep's head stew, pointing out how cheap and nutritious it is and therefore ideal for your domestic servants. The same recipe book states that servants from the impoverished and unsophisticated "North Country" would esteem it as a link with their home. Daphne's cooking is loathed in general because she insists on cooking "English" food, which the Americans around her revile due to it being stereotyped as "bland, boring and boiled". |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Wounded" Miles and Keiko O'Brien have this reaction to Japanese and Irish cuisine, respectively. Granted, they're from very disparate Terran cultures, but one would expect newlyweds to have broken bread together before marriage. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In Prodigal Daughter, Ezri nearly loses her lunch when a shipment of gagh Jadzia ordered arrives on the station. The fondness apparently didn't migrate over from her. The memories did, however. |

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: There's a rather serious version of the trope when they're in the village near the start of the film. Willie is reluctant to eat what's offered until Indy points out the villagers don't have much else to offer. Indy, Willie and Short Round dine with their Indian hosts and are grossed out to find that every item on the menu is like this. Live eels, served inside a dead python. Eyeball soup. Steamed beetles. And for dessert, chilled monkey brains, served en suite in chilled monkey heads. The idea was that they were trying to get Indy and co. to leave by deliberately serving inedible food (for one thing, live eels are toxic, so no sensible host on Earth would serve them), but it was poorly communicated and the movie was banned in India for spreading racist stereotypes. |
