Alice invites Bob to dinner or lunch. Bob is impressed by the excellent cooking, and Alice smugly informs him everything was grown in her very exclusive garden. Interestingly, Alice is usually a villain, either because villains are the ones who tend to have big egos and be obsessed with living "off the grid" somewhere in Waco or because Hitler Was A Vegetarian. Often (but not always) paired with No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine. |

Haven: In season one's "Consumed," food is mysteriously rotting spontaneously all over town. The source seems to be a local restaurant, which the surrounding farms supply. The owner's wife is briefly considered as a suspect, since she dislikes her husband's brother—the head chef. When Audrey visits her, it's revealed she grows most of the herbs and some of the produce for the restaurant. One of her herbs, used in the restaurant's signature dish, is also withered and rotten. This effectively removes her from the suspect pool. | |

Several non-villainous examples from the original Iron Chef. Several challengers owned and ran restaurants that specialised in using ingredients grown in a dedicated garden (either on site or nearby), sometimes supplemented with wild grown ingredients harvested from the local area for those in more remote locations. | |

Justice League: In the episode Hereafter, Superman ends up in a desolate Bad Future and runs into the immortal Vandal Savage, who’s undergone a Heel–Face Turn out of regret in the millennia since accidentally wiping out humanity. After a brief fight, Savage invites Superman to lunch at his place. The food is great because he’s had 30,000 years to rediscover the principles of agriculture. | |

In Last Exile, Mistress Delphine offers some wine to guests while going on about how much water was needed to properly grow the fruit, the implication being that many people in the drought-stricken outer world died so that she could produce the extravagant beverage. For her, part of the decadence of the wine comes from the suffering that its production entails. | |

Discussed by Eddington regarding Sisko's homecooked meals for the officers in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Eddington is sure that Sisko managed the ingredients by himself, as they were of higher quality than replicated food. In an inversion, Eddington is the villain (well, Anti-Villain) in this scenario, although he saw himself as the hero. | |

Shortly afterwards, he reveals that his garden is fertilized by the corpses of people he's murdered, all carnivores just like Legoshi. As the Sublime Beastar, Yafya is beyond accountability. | |

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo informs his prisoners that everything they are eating is taken from the ocean. One of them is less than thrilled to know he's eating octopus embryo gelatin. Not that that's much better than what gelatin is normally made of.note Boiled cow and pig skins and hooves, mostly. And now you know.. Justified because Nemo bothers to mention the food because his guest, The Professor Aronnax, is starving, and Nemo wants to convince him that it’s possible to survive without any “Civilized world� product. This might be an Unbuilt Trope, as the first known example, where the garden is the ocean. | |

Played with in one chapter of Oishinbo, where a famous artist provides a meal of vegetables and chicken he raised himself. While one set of guests enthusiastically praises it, Yamaoka dismisses the cooking as simple and provincial, but truly hospitable and displays great effort and thoughtfulness from the host. | |

In the Leverage episode "The Top Hat Job," which features a Corrupt Corporate Executive who's allowing his company to sell frozen dinners contaminated with salmonella, Eliot comments that situations like that are why he grows all of his own food. Given that he follows this by claiming that he makes time to do so by only sleeping ninety minutes a day, he's probably joking... we think. | |

A version of this shows up in Transformers: Animated. Megatron convinces the Constructobots to join the Decepticons with some wineglass-shaped barrels of high quality oil. When the construtobots comment that the "Autobot's oil tastes like water next to this stuff" Megatron mentions that it's his "private blend". | |

In Street Magic, when Briar is entering the stronghold of the Big Bad, he notices at once the luxuriant and flourishing gardens of the rich widow — very strange in a landscape that is in the middle of a desert (the city is a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to a Middle Eastern one). When he asks the plants how they're so strong, they answer "Rich food!" This is before Briar learns what the widow is using as fertilizer... | |

The Big Short has Ben Rickert, a former trader whose cynicism over the state of the financial system has led him to paranoia and flirting with survivalism. He serves his guests salads grown in his own garden, which they don't have a problem with until he mentions that he's used urine (presumably, his own) to help revitalise the soil without petrochemicals. Depending on your take on the central characters of the film, he's either not a villain, just a guy who helped some old friends make money by betting against the global economy... or he's knowingly profiting from other people's impending misery. | |

Stargate Atlantis plays it for laughs and creeps during a diplomatic meeting between Atlantis and their occasional out-of-necessity Wraith ally "Todd". As vampiric entities feeding on lifeforce, Wraith have no need for "normal" food on their ships; although they can enjoy eating it, they derive no nourishment from it. Also, the entire human population of the Pegasus galaxy is Wraith cattle, hence the trope. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: The two-parter "Year of Hell" has a No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine scene where Tom Paris gets the opportunity to taste the typical food of alien civilizations that never existed! The Big Bad Annorax has wiped them out of time itself, and keeps the last artifacts of their culture on his ship. Granted, this stuff was not grown by Annorax himself, but at least the access is quite exclusive. | |
