Not only do video game heroes have little problem eating food they find lying around on the floor for much longer than the five-second rule allows, but even if that roast chicken had to have been sitting there for hundreds of years in someplace very unsanitary, it's still as fresh as if it just came out of the oven. It might even still be piping hot, as if someone was watching you go through the level, managed to get ahead of you just in time to hide the meat and leave without there being any sign of a disturbance. In a similar vein to Inexplicable Treasure Chests, if the food item happens to be in a rather populated area, another question arises, in that why hasn't someone else taken it, eaten it, disposed of it, or otherwise removed it from its location before you got to it?
A Sub-Trope of Blatant Item Placement. Compare Inexplicable Treasure Chests and Indestructible Edible. Often invokes Hyperactive Metabolism.

In the Adventure Time episode "Dungeon Train", enemies spawned in the train will drop fully cooked food whenever the adventurers inside it get hungry. This is part of how the train keeps them trapped in a never-ending dungeon crawl.

In the opening of Sir, You Are Being Hunted, the Narrator explicitly tells the player finding food powerups to "Don't look at it TOO closely.." as the robot patrols have exterminated the human inhabitants some time ago. The game overall zig-zags this trope. Notably, some of the food you find is in fact spoiled and not good to eat; why the rest is still fresh remains inexplicable, though.

In Grim Dawn, you can find "untouched meals" in camps and dungeons that fully restore your health and constitution, which allows your character to rapidly regenerate damage out of combat. Most untouched meals can be found in logical locations, like camps occupied by bandits or in places where people had recently been. Some are a bit more questionable, like meals found in houses, camps, or caves where the occupants were killed or fled months ago.

In Nethack, corpses left by the majority of enemies are initially edible, but they decay and become poisonous to eat after a while. Fruits and vegetables, however, don't decay at all and can be still found just lying on the floor waiting to be picked up and eaten with zero repercussions.

In Odin Sphere, both killing enemies and clearing out stages will yield treasure chests that sometimes contain minor food items like milk and hot cross buns. Sometimes it makes sense, like in the cities of Titania or Ragnanival, or on the Valentian battlegrounds where lots of soldiers are running around and no doubt carrying rations. Then there's the monster-infested Elrit Forest or the Volkenan lava pits. Once the player gets to the Netherworld, however, they quickly find that the only food items that get dropped are old and withered.

Kirby games use 'Maxim Tomatoes' to completely heal the player character. Energy drinks and, on occasion, other foods are sometimes used for smaller amounts of healing. This can raise questions as to why, for instance, meat, cake, and a sandwich can be found in an underwater cave on planet Ripple Star (and somehow fail to dissolve and waft away in the currents).

Kid Icarus: Uprising has food show up in chests, breakable objects, and drop from enemies that have no logical way of holding it. In at least a couple cases, there's no logical way random chicken wings and pizza could have gotten where they did. Also, mercilessly mocked by in-game dialogue.

Other than first-aid kits, all health-replenishing items in Wolfenstein 3-D are food, and all of them are just lying around on the floor, sometimes even sitting in hidden passageways (though at least they're left on plates and bowls.)

Given how dark and violent Castlevania (2017) is, one might not expect to see much in the way of Easter eggs and references, but the series did an incredible job respecting the lore of the characters. The Belmont Library alone has an incredible amount of Easter eggs pertaining to the monsters of the series. Lo and behold, in the final battle against Dracula, there are a few frames of animation where he and Alucard burst through a wall, whereupon one can see a barely-concealed, well-preserved bit of wall-chicken.◊

The original sidescrolling shooter Duke Nukem has Duke roaming around eight levels of Doctor Proton's Elaborate Underground Base, with an occasional turkey drumstick available to add about 12% health. Interestingly, Duke's handheld Wave-Motion Gun can be used to "cook" a turkey drumstick into a complete turkey dinner worth 25% health.

Vampire Survivors has plenty of shoutouts to Castlevania, and the inexplicable, perfectly cooked and plated "Floor Chicken" that shows up when you break lighting fixtures and can be eaten to heal is but another. The level descriptions often bring it up; whoever narrates them is clearly happy to find random roast chicken lying around.

The Fallout series always has tons of pre-war food (even in the first game, the Great War happened almost 100 years ago ) that's still perfectly edible, including the inexplicably popular Nuka-Cola. Fallout 3 and New Vegas work to subvert this somewhat, as eating pre-war food will still boost the player's health, but also inflict them with minor doses of radiation (and explicitly irradiated food that deals even more radiation when eaten can be found.) Lampshaded during "The Big Dig" quest in Fallout 4 when you run across one of the Port-A-Diners that has an inexplicably well-preserved piece of 200-year-old pie in it. For added humor, she's telling this to someone who's also perfectly preserved despite being 200 years old due to having been a Human Popsicle for most of that time.

You can find food, drinks, and potions in ancient crypts in the various The Elder Scrolls games, some of which have been explicitly sealed for years with nothing but withered (and occasionally ambulatory) corpses for company. Even those with no bandit presence to explain away the presence of food will still have consumables in them. Feel free to scarf down the half-dozen decades-old potatoes you find if you're low on health, your character won't know the difference. Though you might have sympathetic indigestion.

The folks over at Immersion had a go at this, seeing if one could 'recover' from 'injury' (in this case, massive hangovers and sleep-ruining surprise wakeups) by eating food that had been left in questionable circumstances. The answer was a particularly revolting 'no,' as Geoff and Gus discover the hard way.

Pikmin: The series takes place on Earth 250 million years in the future (as confirmed by 3) and has a suspicious lack of humans, but some of the treasures in Pikmin 2 include various foodstuffs that still look perfectly fine, despite the conditions that they can be found in, from just lying around both above ground and underground, to being buried, even in the stomach of various creatures (and apparently taste perfectly fine, too, since the crew keep sneaking bites of them). 3 doesn't get that much of a pass, either. Some fruits can be found attached to vines and branches, but others can be found eaten by animals, partially buried within the earth, and sitting in caves for God knows how long. Sure, this can be excused partially because the crew wants the seeds and juice rather than the actual fruit itself, but you'd think the juice and seeds of an orange that's been submerged within a river would be at least a little spoiled...

Chests in Tales of Zestiria often contain snacks. Even those in ancient ruins. When you restore the Blessing to an area, the Lord of the Land will refill chests, so it's likely the food isn't always ancient, but some chests contain food the first time you open them, so it's not clear where that came from.

Dungeon Crawl Earlier (pre-0.15) versions had the player traverse a massive, sprawling, labyrinth, with an equally massive variety of foodstuffs randomly strewn about the dungeon floors. It made some sense to find jerky, honey combs, royal jelly, ambrosia, loaves of bread, meat rations, and, to some extent, sausages lying about still fine and edible. How cheese, entie slices of pizzas, and innumerable varieties of fruit (from bananas and apples to snozzcumbers and chokos) managed to survive the dungeon without the slightest bit of decay was a bit of mystery, especially given how chunks of meat from monsters rotted away fairly quickly.

In Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, the Commander has to inform his men that eating food off the floor or out of trash cans will NOT heal you and reminding Cody that he had to get his stomach pumped for hours after his adventure.

A staple of the Gauntlet series. Apparently when Red Warrior needs food badly it doesn't matter where it's been.

Lampshaded with the Mysterious Wall Chicken in Dust: An Elysian Tail. Its in-game description reads "Found embedded in a wall, this fully-cooked and seasoned chicken comes from unknown origins."

One survival horror game played on Gaming Garbage, Slenderman Must DIE, had the player restoring health by drinking cartons of milk and eating whole pizzas found lying around an abandoned insane asylum. Shmorky is quick to point out how disgusting this is.

In Miitopia, you can find snacks and grub inside Inexplicable Treasure Chests. And they're still safe to eat!

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the Spiritual Successor to Castlevania made by Koji Igarashi, lampshades this trope at one point, with a journal entry where the author wishes that he could find such a meal. It's also played straight in a couple of places — in fact, near where said journal entry is found, a plate of fried eggs can be found by busting down a wall.

Press Start (2007): While scouring Count Vile's lair, Zack is injured and in need of healing, so Lin-ku offers him some chicken he finds in the dungeon. It's cold, slimy, and tastes nasty, but it does the trick.

Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel Horizon Forbidden West let you find edible, perfectly edible meat in personal footlockers and chests that are in bunkers that have been sealed for the last 1000 years before Aloy entered them.

Final Fight has the usual beat 'em up fare: burgers, pot roasts, and the like, found in locations such as crates and garbage cans. One particularly weird instance is Edi E's used chewing gum which only provides a minimal amount of recovery.
