In nearly every culture around the world, giving someone food is a universal gesture of friendship and hospitality. Therefore, it stands to reason that doing the opposite and rejecting an offer of food in a rude manner, optionally destroying it to show your disdain, means you dislike that person very much. It is one thing to politely turn down food (which does not count as this trope), and another to destroy food that someone made for you or gave to you.
The level of Kick the Dog present in this trope generally depends on how elaborate the food is, how much there is of it, and how thoroughly the rejection is made. Merely turning your nose up at or ignoring the food is mildly rude, though it can be extremely rude if the other person had put a lot of effort into cooking the food for you. Throwing the plate at the person or knocking it out of their hands so that it sends food flying everywhere is an even bigger insult. Dropping an apple or a cookie on the ground is also on a different level than smashing a plate carrying a full meal or a fancy dessert. It also counts as this trope if someone eats the food but later rudely tells the other person that they hated it.
Commonly this is part of a Rejected Apology, as food is a popular Apology Gift (especially someone's favorite food).
Subtrope of Kick the Dog and Ungrateful Bastard, and the reverse of Tastes Like Friendship.
Related tropes:
Battered Bouquet: Someone violently rejects a gift of flowers instead of food.
Berserk Button: Some people take great offense to others spurning their food, especially if they take pride in their own cooking.
Enemy Eats Your Lunch: Stealing and eating someone else's food to show dominance.
Food Shove Gag: Shoving food into someone's mouth to shut them up or to show your disrespect of them.
I'm Not Hungry: A prisoner spurns their captor's hospitality.
Lost Food Grievance: A character is angry and/or upset about their food being taken or destroyed.
Lost My Appetite: A character loses their appetite due to being grossed out.
Put Off Their Food: Someone orders food, hears something unpleasant that reminds them of said food, and then changes their mind about it.
Spiteful Gluttony: Eating all the food so someone else can't have it.
Too Unhappy to Be Hungry: A character loses their appetite due to being sad, scared, or angry.
Wicked Wastefulness: Variations involving food treat wasting it as a sign of evil.
Contrast with:
Denied Food as Punishment: Punishing someone by not allowing them to eat.
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Sandwich: A character orders and gets food, but leaves without eating it for whatever reason.

Stardew Valley: Gifting someone a food they dislike will result in a bit of upset dialogue and decreases their friendship with you by 20 points on a normal day, 100 on the Feast of the Winter Star, and 160 on their birthday. Gifting someone a food they hate decreases friendship by 40, 200, and 320 points instead, respectively.

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Fate brings her mother a box of sweets when she goes to report on her progress collecting the Jewel Seeds. In the original anime, Precia ignores the food and there's a shot of Fate seeing the box untouched on a table after Precia is done whipping her. The movie on the other hand goes in the opposite direction, with Precia furiously slapping the box out of Fate's hands upon seeing it, taking it as a sign that she's wasting time rather than focusing on her mission.

When he kicks away the plate, even The Mole is shown to be shocked at the behavior, while Dobrynia and Alyosha call the envoy a jackass to his face.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: During the summer following Cedric's murder and Voldemort's return, Harry is stuck at his abusive aunt's and uncle's house, suffering from nightmares about the incident and being kept out of the loop by his friends and allies. Albus Dumbledore won't let them tell him anything, so all he gets are letters with vague statements like "We can't say much about you-know-what, obviously" and "We've been told not to say anything important in case our letters go astray." He's so mad at all of them that when Ron and Hermione send him Honeydukes chocolates in the mail for his birthday, he throws the packages in the trash without opening them.

Bishop expresses shock when Burke gives him an abbreviated explanation of why she's upset and tries to assure Ripley that she has nothing to fear from him due to his programming, offering her a plate of food. However, Ripley smacks the plate out of his hand and tells him to stay away from her, and he quickly leaves.

Trying to be nice, and in effort to apologize after having tugged on her orange hair and called her "Carrots", Gilbert slips her a candy heart that says, "You are sweet." Anne drops it to the floor and crushes it under her foot. There is a nice Call-Back to this incident when the two get older; Gilbert gives Anne a pendant necklace in the shape of a pink candy heart.

American Girls: Felicity: Discussed in Felicity Learns a Lesson. When Felicity's family stops drinking tea to protest the king's tax on it, she wants to do the same. However, she is not sure what to do when tea is served at her lessons with Miss Manderly, because she does not want to be rude and uncouth. Annabelle also makes a big show of serving everyone their tea but Felicity and saying it's because she wouldn't want Felicity to "toss the tea all over the fine carpet" like the men who threw chests of tea leaves into the York River. In the end, Felicity is able to avert this trope and gracefully refuse tea by doing what Miss Manderly taught her: turning her teacup upside down on the saucer, laying her spoon across it, and saying, "Thank you. I shall take no tea."

Unsounded: Jivi loves turtle bacon whereas Sette doesn't care for her first taste of it, the least of the two children's disagreements. When Jivi argues with her over breakfast, she spits the wet, well-chewed mouthful into his hand, leaving him blank with shock.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In "The Best Night Ever", at the Grand Galloping Gala, Rarity buys two apple fritters from Applejack for herself and her date, Prince Blueblood. When he tries one, he immediately spits it out and exclaims, "My royal lips have touched common carnival fare!"
In "Putting Your Hoof Down", when Fluttershy is feeding her animals, Angel the rabbit refuses to eat a bowl of pellets, then a bowl of lettuce and cucumber salad, and demands that Fluttershy make him a fancy salad with mandarin oranges, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. She goes out to buy the ingredients, but fails to get a cherry because the rude seller keeps jacking up the price of the last cherry and then sells it to somepony else. She makes the salad, but Angel refuses to eat it without the cherry, and throws both the salad and Fluttershy out the window. This is the final straw that makes her decide she needs to stop being such a doormat. At the end of the episode, Angel is refusing to eat salad again, but Fluttershy stands her ground and gets him to eat it with The Stare.
Downplayed in "A Canterlot Wedding -- Part 1". When Applejack is asked to help prepare the food for Princess Cadance's wedding, Cadance appears to politely enjoy the food, only for Twilight to see her dump it in the trash once Applejack is out of the room. Twilight is insulted on her friend's behalf, giving her more reason to distrust Cadance. In Part 2, after it's revealed the Cadance who trashed the food was actually the changeling Queen Chrysalis, the real Cadance actually does love Applejack's food, averting the trope.
In "Party Pooped", Twilight is welcoming a delegation of yaks from Yakyakistan and prepares traditional Yakyakistan food for them. When they try it, they get upset because it's not made with traditional Yakyakistan ingredients and smash up the castle in retaliation.

Flushed Away: After driving away Rita in a moment of Don't You Dare Pity Me! over his refusal to admit how much of a Lonely Rich Kid he really is, Roddy returns to the living room of his house to find Sid- the sewer rat who flushed him down the toilet into the sewers in the first place- watching the World Cup Final and eating his Cheese Puffs right in front of him. Sid, despite having humiliated Roddy in front of Rita earlier, cheerfully offers Roddy a Cheese Puff, only for Roddy to calmly crush the Puff into orange powder in his grasp. Sid offers him another one, which he snaps in half, and a third, which he just throws away over his shoulder, before Suddenly Shouting at Sid to move over and let him sit on the sofa. This is a positive example of the trope since it shows that Roddy Grew a Spine from his time spent in the sewers, and is no longer going to let Sid push him around or try bribing him anymore.

Homestuck: Beyond Canon: While taken captive by Jane, Yiffany has been caged and treated like a dog, to the point of being fitted with a shock collar. Jake tries to help the girl by offering a bowl of mac and cheese, but unfortunately for him, the only bowl he could find is a dog bowl, making the gesture come off as "minion behavior". This causes Yiffy to hurl the bowl at Jane in a fit of rage, who turns on the collar in return.

The Amazing Days of Abby Hayes: In The Best Is Yet To Come, Abby's mother Olivia invites her old friend from college, Laurie, to visit the Hayes house, and even prepares her favorite foods from scratch to welcome her—lasagne and cherry cobbler. She finds out the hard way that Laurie has taken a level or two in jerkass when she turns her nose up at the food because she no longer eats wheat, sugar, or dairy and goes on a self-righteous spiel about how lasagne clogs the arteries with fats, poisons, and toxins.

In the Warrior Cats novella Spottedleaf's Heart, Thrushpelt brings prey to give to Bluefur's kits, who everyone in the Clan assumes were fathered by him due to his very obvious feelings for her. Bluefur coolly tells him that her kits have had enough to eat despite the fact that they want it, rejecting his affections and his offer to behave as the kits' father.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Hide and Q," Q has kidnapped Riker, Data, Worf, Geordi, and Yar and taken them to an alien planet to test Riker. It's hot out, so Riker thought a lemonade would be nice. Q provides him with one, then provides beverages to the rest when Riker says they should have some too. Worf pointedly pours his drink onto the ground. Q is amused, saying "Drink not with thine enemy. The rigid Klingon code." This must be a recent tradition, since Kirk's crew drank with Klingons a few times in the movies, most notably in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Worf would later be established to follow a much more rigid code of behavior than the average Klingon due to having been raised by a human family that didn't know much about actual Klingon culture and consequently teaching him what was basically a mythological, idealized version of what it meant to be a Klingon.
