Most often seen in comedy; this is when the universally hated tinned meat (Spam) or some other (usually low-quality) substitution food is used to simulate a meal of higher quality. A character will sculpt a Turkey, Chicken, Lamb, Pig or other food animal out of canned Mystery Meat, or another substitute food. Does not cover synthetic foodstuffs in futuristic settings. Compare Poverty Food. |

In one episode of Angel, Cordelia Chase's new boyfriend, a being from another dimension, makes her a drink called "mochra". He mentions the ingredient he needs to properly make the brew isn't available in our world. Cordy dubs the tea "mock mochra". | |

Looney Tunes: Wile E. Coyote has at least three instances: a tin can in "Guided Muscle," a turkey sculpted out of clay in "There They Go-Go-Go!" (in which he loses an incisor), and an old shoe over a campfire in "Hairied and Hurried." | |

M*A*S*H: The main characters sculpt a "SPAM Lamb" after Radar lets the original lamb, provided by a Greek military unit, escape so it can avoid being eaten. It's also noted once that the mess tent serves powdered egg substitute for breakfast. At one point when they're provided real eggs from a local farmer, it becomes a very big deal. |

Mr. Bogus: In the episode "Et Tu, Brattus?", Bogus cuts up a piece of wood and paints it like a slice of cheese in order to fool Ratty into getting caught by the bully's box trap. Another episode involved Bogus chasing after an ant that had stolen his special piece of cake. The ant manages to elude Bogus for a while by painting a rock to look like a piece of cake in order to fool Bogus. When Bogus bites into the rock, he winds up breaking his teeth in the process. |

Inversion: When Alfie Gator, a self-proclaimed culiinary artist, fails to catch Yakky Doodle for a meal and gets incredibly injured doing so, he settles for a hot dog. His justification: while the hotdog ranks far down on a gourmet's priority, it has never been known to retaliate by biting back. | |

The French movie The Wing or the Thigh with Louis de Funès has Tricatel-brand industrial food, which turns out to be artificial: Fish and chicken roast are made by molding some paste around skeletons, before spray-painting a nice roast color around them. | |

Andy from FoxTrot makes these a lot. For example, when she tried to cheer Peter by making "virtually" his favorite meal: A tofu burger, eggplant strip "french fries", and putting brown rice paste instead of a chocolate milk shake. Peter remarks that she's succeeded in taking his mind off his crappy day (while Jason appears and offers Peter some "beet-sup"). | |

This is done in Black Books with wine: having drunk an incredibly rare bottle of wine while house sitting, Bernard and Manny try to replace it by filling the bottle with cheap wine and adding the tastes the real wine is described as having, resulting in them adding vanilla ice cream for the vanilla and a twig for the oaky finish. The task is not aided by the fact that Bernard's taste buds have degraded to the point that he can happily eat a coaster. Their friend inadvertently kills the Pope by giving him the wine to drink. | |

Done rather more... disgustingly in Blackadder Goes Forth. Baldrick is forced to substitute for whatever he has, meaning that the least disgusting dish he serves is "café au lait" made by adding mud and dandruff to boiling water and spitting in it. | |

The Supersizers Eat. On the Wartime episode, they reconstructed what was apparently a common dish during WWII Britain: a Mock Duck made out of sausage. And while that was the most common, Sue and Giles were also served mock crab with mock mayonnaise on toast (margarine, dried eggs, vinegar, cheese, and salad cream), mock apricot tart with mock cream (grated carrots, almond essence, plum jam/margarine, sugar, and flour), and mock coffee. They were blindfolded and had to try to identify what the ingredients were. | |

On an episode of Friends, Monica is employed to create recipes for a chocolate substitute called 'mockolate'. Despite her best efforts, everything turns out inedible, with Phoebe tasting the 'mockolate chip cookies' and declaring "This must be what evil tastes like!" | |

Spongebob Squarepants: Someone orders a pizza from the Krusty Krab by mistake. Sensing an opportunity to make money, Mr. Krabs squashes some Krabby Patties into a pizza and sends Spongebob and Squidward to deliver it. SpongeBob once tried to make a sundae, but since he ran out of ice-cream, he uses the next best thing - ketchup. He then adds some onions for texture and tops it off with some anemic peanuts he grew on the windowsill in his bathroom along with the the dirt he grew them in. The resulting concoction gave him horrible bad breath. When Mr. Krabs threw Pearl a birthday party, the cake was just cardboard covered in frosting. As for the punch... |

An Over the Hedge strip had Verne sculpt a lookalike roast pig out of tofu, claiming that roast pig had so much cholesterol. He even claims, that it looked almost real, until it melted from being roasted over the fire. | |
