Caviar, foie gras, and other such foods are notable for how expensive they are and for how rare it is to know how about these foods and, as such, buying them can serve as a status symbol. Whereas Poverty Food such as cans of pork and beans are meant to show how poor and lower-class a character is, Snooty Haute Cuisine is instead a symbol of a character's wealth and sophisticated palate. A form of Conspicuous Consumption, it identifies a character as rich by showing them eating and able to comment in an eloquent fashion on these expensive and highbrow foods. In addition, consumers of Snooty Haute Cuisine will likely have high standards for their palate and shun "commoner" foods, insisting on only the highest-quality, most expensive, imported foods. They will react to a diner hamburger as if it were revolting Mystery Meat. The commoners, in turn, will often hold the opinion that Haute Cuisine Is Weird (frog legs, octopus legs, etc). Caviar is the go-to example, and pricey wines and French cuisine are also frequent examples of this. A Fancy Dinner will always serve these. See High-Class Cannibal for an extreme and menacing version. A subtrope of Food as Characterization, and one of the more common Snobby Hobbies. Compare Grapes of Luxury, which is also a trope about showing luxury but is more about a character being fed by servants while seated or lying in a comfortable cushioned dias, and Exotic Entree, which is about eating endangered species or cruelly-prepared meat to show a character's immorality. Also compare Expensive Glass of Crap, where a would-be snob is exposed for not being able to tell the difference. |

Fifty Shades Darker has Ana and Christian attend a masquerade ball held by Christian's adoptive parents, and among the menu items served are salmon tartare, roast breast of Muscovy duck, foie gras, and wine. All this serves to show how wealthy the Grey family is, and is but one of many instances of Christian showing off his affluence. | |

The Wedding Crashers: One of the many indicators of how obscenely wealthy and stuck-up the Cullens are is the food served at the wedding — alcohol options consist of either expensive foreign beers with unpronounceable names or a champagne fountain, and the food options include stuff like "Mousse de Saumon Fumé", "Pate de Foie Gras with Truffles in Aspic", and "Deep-fried Crab Ball with Jicama-Pepper Panache". | |

In the Victorious episode "The Great Ping Pong Scam," the gang formed a ping-pong club just to get funds for a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant with the club's allotment of school money. Robbie samples a bit of caviar, not knowing what it is (or the price) and orders a small bowl of it, costing $600, and blowing the $1500 budget. Hijinks ensue. | |

Rebuild World: Shiori takes Akira out to an absurdly expensive restaurant where she offers to pay for a full special course meal for him if it means letting bygones be bygones between them. Compared to the slops of Mystery Meat he grew up eating with his hands off the floor, this is Impossibly Delicious Food he eats with a knife and fork. This illustrates the gulf between the rich and poor in Kugamayama City, as well as the wealth of high-level hunters who get to eat at restaurants like these on the regular. Reina's status as a wealthy heiress is perhaps best demonstrated when she's trapped in a building with her bodyguards with hordes of mechanical monsters outside. While holding out in a barricaded room, she decides to dip into her emergency rations... which are more or less still a restaurant-quality meal eaten off a plate with a knife and fork atop a folding table. Even while in a life-or-death situation, Reina still manages to dine in a manner befitting her station. |

The Onion: This article features a CEO partaking in a $150 prix fixe tasting menu with entrees such as tuna tartare, foie gras, lobster broth, and artisanal bread, in addition to other displays of wealth. This serves to paint him as a Corrupt Corporate Executive as he talks about how he is being forced to fire some employees to cut costs at his company, and how hard the decision is for him (but not so hard that he would be willing to give up his haute cuisine). | |

Shadows of the Empire: Prince Xizor at one point has "moonglow" for lunch, a fruit that must be carefully prepared by a master chef to make it safe to eat (rather like fugu). Apparently it's delicious, but he mostly eats it for the thrill of danger; what if the chef made a mistake? The cost of it could have fed a family for a year, but that's nothing to him. | |

Futurama: When everyone on Earth gets a tax return of 300 dollars, Dr. Zoidberg wants to try "rich people food", but it's less than impressed with caviar and foie gras. In "A Fishful of Dollars", Fry becomes a multimillionaire thanks to an unintentional case of Compound-Interest Time Travel Gambit, buys the last can of anchovies in existence from an auction and serves them to his friends as a pizza topping. Played with in that, as much as it looks like this trope to everyone else, to him it ends up being a genuine attempt to do a good deed towards his friends by giving them a unique experience. Unfortunately, it's an experience that most of Fry's friends, with the exception of Fry himself and Zoidberg, don't really enjoy. |

The Dark Side of the Sun: Played with. A wealthy man's meal, seemingly simple, consists of a quarter-loaf of brown bread, a strip of salted fish, an apple and a glass of water — each individually shipped to the planet at great expense from various parts of the galaxy to ensure that they're the best bread, fish, apple, and water that ludicrous amounts of money can buy. | |

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?: In contrast to Hestia scraping by on potato croquettes, leftovers from her part-time jobs, and whatever food Bell buys with the money he earns from dungeon drops, Freya is always surrounded by luxuries. She's often depicted watching Bell with a glass of red wine in her hand, and as the leader of the most powerful familia in Orario, she's constantly lavished with food and drink. But while Hestia enjoys her Jagamaru-kuns and takes pride in her handiwork, Freya is bored with constantly having everything handed to her and much prefers to be challenged and surprised. This illustrates the vastly different perspectives of the two goddesses after Bell's heart. | |

In The Jerk, Navin and Maria take advantage of their recently-gained wealth by eating at a posh French restaurant, but Navin winds up Comically Missing the Point throughout. He insists on drinking the newest wine the restaurant has, rather than the vintage bottle the waiter initially brings out — and he gets angry when Maria's order of escargot has snails all over the plate. | |

American Psycho: Keeping with the book's vicious parodying of the '80s upper-class yuppie lifestyle, Patrick Bateman repeatedly sings praises of the nouvelle cuisine that he and his colleagues eat to flaunt their wealth and social status. However, these dishes turn out to be fairly ridiculous (and in some cases outright inedible) when stripped of their glamour, indicating that Patrick and company only care about the fancy image that the food gives them. | |

Kill la Kill episode 7 does this to illustrate the Rags to Riches plot. The Mankanshoku family are initially content with eating strange Mystery Meat for meals, but when Ryuko and Mako rise up the ranks of Honnouji Academy, allowing them to gain more wealth, the family's living situation skyrockets. The family is now able to afford better-quality ingredients, and once they can live in a big fancy mansion, they can have massive feasts of splendor. Unfortunately, this is around the same time that the family begins drifting apart and turning into snobs due to their newfound decadence, leaving poor Ryuko to eat alone. By the time they decide to give it all up at the end so they can be together again, they show no issues going back to the Poverty Food. | |

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard: Wealthy Blue Blood Richard adamantly refuses to drink any tea that comes in a bottle, claiming it has "died" and the soul is gone — which means making fresh tea from expensive leaves imported straight from Sri Lanka, every time. He also refuses to let Seigi buy sweets on sale, on the idea that buying sweets with an eye to price is less meaningful and is disrespectful to the people they will later be served to. Of course, he also frequently takes Seigi out to fancy dinners together — and then orders himself strawberry parfaits. | |

Early in A Plague Tale: Innocence, Amicia can find a stash of cinnamon and says that if it's not hidden away her father will have it used in every dish.

This trope is played straight in Ratatouille and showcases that French Cuisine Is Haughty. While the restaurant Gustau's is shown to have lost a star (technically two), in the French rating system, a restaurant receiving even a single star is considered to be a shining example of haute cusine and the residents of Paris clearly flock to Gustau's because of its reputation for fine dining. Anton Ego is the personification of the snobby eater who feels that only haute cuisine could come close to meeting the exacting standards of their palate. This is best demonstrated by Ego's taste for Chateau Cheval Blanc, an extremely expensive vintage. Which makes it all the more meaningful when he likes Remy's ratatouille simply because it reminds him of his mother, who used to make the dish for him as comfort food. Even the signature dish of ratatouille falls under this trope. While ratatouille is generally a simply-prepared, provincial, peasant dish, the version created in the film is a glorified haute cuisine version called confit byaldi that takes about four hours to prepare. |
