Two characters who come from very different places meet for the first time. They don't speak the same language? They have totally different backgrounds? No matter how different their culture and origins, they will always become friends if they go through an almost ritual exchange of food the first time they meet — doubly so if the food is chocolate-based.
Truth in Television: it's considered good manners in many cultures to offer food to people when you meet them, and sharing bread or salt created a real bond between people in the olden days. Several languages even have words for "friend" based around the concept of sharing bread (such as the English "companion"). There's actually scientific evidence to back this cultural practice up, as the part of the brain that responds to food is the same part that responds to social interaction.
The trope generally occurs when the hero is in a Fish out of Water situation, and very often when they meet a character whose language they can't understand. After sharing food, the character helps them become familiar with their surroundings.

Played for laughs in Aquaman (2018). Thomas Curry walks in on the Atlantean princess who washed up on his lighthouse and finds her eating his goldfish. "I was going to make you some eggs..." However he breaks the ice with her by inviting her to drink a mug of tea. Later in the movie when Mera starts to lighten up around Arthur Curry, she gives him a rose to eat.

John Rain: Played with in Requiem for an Assassin. Jim Hilger has kidnapped the friend of John Rain, to force Rain to do a job for him. Rain insists on a face-to-face meeting which naturally gets a bit tense; at one point Rain has a knife at Hilger's throat and is struggling not to kill him on the spot. He's forced to back down, however, whereupon Hilger surprises him by suggesting they get lunch. The trope in this case signifies not friendship, but an unspoken agreement to resolve things through negotiation rather than force. At least for now...

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Mami's favourite method of making friends is by serving cake and tea. Kyouko also offers food to the people she likes — which is a big deal to her, due to lingering childhood trauma from times when her family didn't have enough to eat.

Cowboy Bebop (2021). In "Callisto Soul", Spike Spiegel is not happy when Jet Black not only treats Faye Valentine's injuries, but also gives her a meal from the fridge—the same meal she interrupted earlier by asking for their help. Unsurprisingly this is the episode where Faye joins the BeBop crew (though Spike only accepts this after she saves their lives).

The Defenders (2017). After meeting during their battle against the Hand at the Midland Circle Building, the title characters hide out in a Chinese restaurant that's about to close, and the owner is pacified by Danny Rand agreeing to pay the restaurant's rent for six months and ordering a meal for everyone. It's during this round-table dinner that the idea of them teaming up is first proposed, though it would be wrong to call them friends at this stage. It's notable though that Danny makes a point of offering the last dumpling to his future partner-in-crimefighting Luke Cage.

Arrow. In Season 1, Oliver Queen is trying to repair some bridges with his former fiancée Laurel Lance, and brings her a tub of mint ice cream to share with her, saying it was the one thing he missed while marooned on Lian Yu. In a later episode, he takes his upper-class mother for burgers and malt drinks when she expresses a desire to reconnect to her emotionally distant son.

When they first meet her, Runaways Karolina Dean and Molly Hayes take Klara Prast out for lunch, which helps them earn her trust and leads to her seriously considering leaving her abusive husband. In a later arc, Molly offers pizza to a captured Majesdanian who attacked the team, though it doesn't endear her to him. And then, during the final arc, Chase is seen bringing Klara a sandwich and a soda as a way of making amends for the way he treated her earlier in the arc.

The Monuments Men. Confronted at gunpoint by a lone German soldier who can't speak English, Campbell breaks the ice by offering him cigarettes so they can sit down and have a smoke. This serves as a deliberate contrast to a later hostile interrogation where the German refuses a cigarette from the American soldier.

The Expanse. Invoked by Alex at the end of the first episode of Season 2, when he makes lasagna (albeit missing some ingredients as they're IN SPACE!) for the crew of the Rocinante and insists they eat it around the same table. This is especially important for easing tensions with Miller, who has only just joined their crew. There's a discussion during this meal of how a confiscated shipment of black market cheese mysteriously disappeared from the police lockup to be consumed by the population of Ceres, leading to a short-lived outbreak of brotherly love on that Wretched Hive.

In the Honor Harrington backstory, it is mentioned that Sphinxian Treecats go absolutely nuts for celery, being more than happy to utterly debase themselves to convince a human to hand over any stalks in his possession. It is mentioned that when she was at Saganami Island, Honor's instructors would bring some to give to Nimitz even while they were chewing her out over something.
This backstory is fleshed out more in the Stephanie Harrington spinoffs, where it is explained in A Beautiful Friendship that the breed of celery raised on Sphinx has high concentrations of a chemical that boosts Treecats' telepathic abilities. In fact, celery is to blame for the First Contact between the two races, when a treecat got caught raiding a greenhouse.
Later, in The Treecat Wars, several of the characters discover a clan of Treecats suffering from famine, and arrange for a discreet food drop to help them and earn their trust.
Honor herself regularly hosts dinners as a major part of her technique for forming a Band of Brothers out of her subordinates.

SD Gundam Force episode "Tears of Cobramaru" ends Cobramaru — once-again thrashed by the good guys, and abandoned by his once-allies — all but losing his will to live. Bratty Half-Pint Genkimaru tries to cheer him up with some riceballs, and the last scene is Cobramaru — tearfully — eating as the sun sets. This pays off as Cobramaru shows up as an ally.

Lyrical Nanoha:
The scenes showing Hayate's attempts to connect with the Wolkenritter in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's included one where Hayate cooks their first meal together, with Vita hesitantly tasting her share, finding it delicious, then asking for seconds in a Tsundere-like way.
The Blu-ray release of the first three seasons contained a What If? story where Hayate found Raising Heart instead of Nanoha. She ends up defeating Fate by cooking her a gourmet meal.
A flashback near the end of ViVid Strike! revealed that Rinne and Fuka became friends when Rinne gave Fuka a treat she had been saving.

Hannibal finds a way to make this trope creepy. Will Graham is fairly cold to Hannibal Lecter in their first meeting, but Hannibal later wins him over by bringing him a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausages. But this is Hannibal Lecter, so unbeknownst to Will, the sausages are almost certainly made of people. In later episodes, Lecter is shown cooking delicious meals for all his friends. Those meals are definitely made of people.

The Boys. Averted when Frenchie prepares a meal for the Female; she knocks it aside and tries to tear his eyes out, but she's chained up. What works is when he has to abandon his hideout because the Supes are coming for him, he takes the risk of freeing her so she won't be found and killed, and she reciprocates by saving Frenchie from Black Noir.

In School Rumble, Harima first got to know Karasuma at the school's watering area because neither of them ever bring lunch. Harima offers Karasuma friendship in the form of treating his fellow curry-fan to lunch at his next paycheck. Needless to say, seeing as this never happened, the two never became friends; Harima saw Karasuma eating with the girl he loves (Tenma) at the end of the chapter.

Harry Potter:
Harry and Ron in their first year on the train to Hogwarts. Though the fact Harry bought every single kind of candy that was for sale on the cart certainty didn't mitigate anything.
Another Harry Potter example would be in the third book where Lupin gives Harry chocolate after the Dementors attack. Though in this case, the chocolate does more than just introduce the two. Chocolate in the Potterverse is apparently an actual remedy for the effects a Dementor has on people.
When Hagrid first arrives, he gives Harry a birthday cake.
Hagrid feeds Ron when they are being introduced as well.

This backstory is fleshed out more in the Stephanie Harrington spinoffs, where it is explained in A Beautiful Friendship that the breed of celery raised on Sphinx has high concentrations of a chemical that boosts Treecats' telepathic abilities. In fact, celery is to blame for the First Contact between the two races, when a treecat got caught raiding a greenhouse.

In Princess Tutu, one of our first indications that Fakir is not the Jerkass he seems is that he feeds, and is just generally kind to, a duck he found in his locker. The main character gets the same hint, since she's the duck.

In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Miles tries to invoke this trope when he first meets Miguel by offering him an empanada, since he hopes to get on the latter's good side and Jessica mentioned earlier that Miguel is fond of the empanadas they serve in the Spider-Society HQ's cafeteria. It's quickly subverted when Miguel seems to accept the food, but almost immediately throws it back at Miles in a fit of anger—an early indication that Miguel does not want to be friends with Miles due to viewing the latter as an "anomaly" that goes against his strictly fatalist views.

Discworld: According to Mrs Bradshaw's Guidebook to the Ankh-Morpork and Sto Plains Hygenic Railway, this has become a popular way of breaking the ice when getting to know your seatmates. Mrs Bradshaw specifically notes a man who shared a large amount of assorted pickles with the entire carriage (his wife ran a pickling company, so this largesse was actually a combination of stock-control and advertising), and a dwarf who offered her one of his sandwiches, which turned out to be rat pate on traditional dwarf bread, but which she ate, to the best of her ability, out of politeness.

The Mandalorian
In "Sanctuary", Din Djarin gets into a hand-to-hand fight with rebel deserter Cara Dune who thinks he's there to collect a bounty on her. They end up with their blasters pointed at each other, only to realise the Child is watching them while drinking a bowl of soup. Din then asks Cara if she wants soup as well, and they have a more civilised discussion.
In "The Marshal", Din is negotiating the help of the Tusken raiders to kill the Krayt Dragon, and one of them offers Marshal Cobb Vanth a black melon that smokes when it's cut open. Cobb nearly ruins everything by refusing to eat it, out of disgust of the fruit and hatred of the Tuskens. Eventually they form a reluctant alliance and just before they implement their plan, a Tusken offers Cobb another such fruit. He grimaces but eats it without complaint. After they kill the Dragon the Tuskens are shown cutting it up for food, and Din loads a huge cut of meat onto his speeder.

In Dinoverse the kids regroup after finding themselves in the Cretaceous and in the bodies of dinosaurs (and a pterosaur). Candayce takes being a dinosaur the hardest and is nearly unresponsive, but Betram manages to persuade her to eat some leaves, which brings her back to herself. Janine and Mike, as carnivores, go fishing in the sea and have a sincere conversation. Later, Janine notices that Bertram hasn't been eating and realizes that that's because his dinosaur ferments its food in its hindgut resulting in terrible flatulence, and takes him aside to persuade him that fainting from hunger will be worse.

Initially averted in Kamen Rider Ghost as when Alain was first offered food by Grandma Fumi, he rejected it as a piece of stupid humanity and suspected her of ulterior motives. She was just trying to be nice to that weird, angry kid who occasionally ended up at her takoyaki cart. Then it was played straight when he accepted the peace offerings of rice and a juice box from Makoto, allowing the two of them to actually have something like a normal conversation.
Onari earns Javel's favor by giving the downed warrior some rice balls, which he then comes to repay at the right time.

If Wishes Were Ponies: When Harry (newly arrived in Equestria) meets Princess Celestia for the first time, he's terrified of her and almost runs through a wall. When he meets her again (this time reassured that she's not a threat), she earns his trust and wins him over by giving him pancakes (and helping him eat them, because he broke both arms/front legs trying to run away). While he still fears her for a while, he's clearly more at ease around her than he was before.

Unfortunately, Sodam lived on Daxam, a notoriously xenophobic planet, whose inhabitants proceeded to kill and stuff the alien and try to Mind Rape Sodam into fearing everything concerning space. It didn't take and pissed Sodam off so much, he had to be convinced his people were worth saving when Mongul conquered Daxam years later.

Gourmet Girl Graffiti is about the social experience of food, so there are a few examples such that after Food Porn and Orgasmically Delicious, this is the most important trope of the series. The straightest ones include:
In Episode 10, the ice breaker between Ryou, Kirin, and Yuki is in fact Yuki's pizza that was delivered mid-conversation.
In Volume 3's coloured specials, it turned out Ryou and Shiina's friendship started by sharing lunches.

Stargate SG-1: Daniel exchanges food with an Unas who captured him. Daniel goes from being an intended sacrifice to a valued friend. He even hangs a lampshade on this with a Continuity Nod, mentioning he met his father-in-law the same way.
Which would make Daniel's third use of the trope, and that's just the ones noted so far on this page. He'd already used it several times on earlier SG1 episodes. You might as well call it "The Daniel Jackson Method".

Doraemon:
One of Doraemon's few useful gadgets is the Momotaro Dango (a reference to Japanese folklore), which can instantly befriend any creature it is fed to.
Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur have the Tomodachi Chocolate, which can turn any animals into loyal, obedient pets to the feeders. Including dinosaurs. Gian managed to tame a Tarbosaurus attacking the gang by throwing the Tomodachi Chocolate into it's mouth, turning the Tarbosaurus into a doe-eyed cutie in the process who then follows Gian everywhere, and later on Suneo and Doraemon does the same, respectively to a Sinoceratops and a Brontosaurus.

Kung Fu Panda:
While the Furious Five have differing levels of animosity toward Po essentially taking their chances at being the Dragon Warrior, they (aside from Tigress) start to bond after Po cooks his dad's noodle soup for them. They start off genuinely interested in Po's story as he's cooking, find him an amazing cook after trying it, and start laughing and joking with each other.
The Stinger has only Po and Master Shifu sharing a bowl of dumplings. As well as a Call-Back to their epic dumpling fight, it shows how the often harsh and grumpy Old Master has lightened up and accepted Po not only as the Dragon Warrior but as a friend.

Lonely Wolf Treat: The friendship between the wolf Treat and the rabbit Mochi begins when Treat saves Mochi from a fox and Mochi prepares a curry dinner for Treat as thanks. This is a significant moment for both parties, because Treat is happy to make a friend after facing constant racial harassment from the other rabbits, and Mochi comes to realize that wolves and foxes are not as scary as she thought. Mochi then starts planning to make more curry and share it with the foxes in an attempt to befriend them.

Kamen Rider places a major significance on the act of sharing food / offering food.
Kamen Rider Blade: Kenzaki took care of Hajime after finding him out cold after a bad fight, including making him some food. Hajime is hesitant to accept but does so anyway and this becomes the first step at improving their previously hostile relationship.
Initially averted in Kamen Rider Ghost as when Alain was first offered food by Grandma Fumi, he rejected it as a piece of stupid humanity and suspected her of ulterior motives. She was just trying to be nice to that weird, angry kid who occasionally ended up at her takoyaki cart. Then it was played straight when he accepted the peace offerings of rice and a juice box from Makoto, allowing the two of them to actually have something like a normal conversation.
Onari earns Javel's favor by giving the downed warrior some rice balls, which he then comes to repay at the right time.
Kamen Rider Build: Sawa thought her new family will reject her after her past and lies have come to light. She was moved to tears when Misora invited her to the dinner table and it cemented her decision to become her own person unburdened by past and orders.

A tragic example in M*A*S*H occurs when an American soldier and the North Korean soldier he shot are brought to the MASH together. The American is proud of shooting the North Korean at first, but when they're placed in beds next to each other in Post-OP, an uneasy friendship starts to grow between them, helped by the North Korean giving the American a chocolate bar. When the North Korean ultimately dies from his wounds, the American is devastated.

As he stands under an awning outside her hotel trying to keep out of the rain, she brings him coffee, and Tony gives her a slice of his pizza in return. The exchange lampshades their future partnership — though as they haven't reached that level of trust yet, Tony makes sure to take her coffee rather than the one she's offering him.

A Song of Ice and Fire
Guest right is traditionally invoked with an offering of bread and salt.
In a subtle version of this trope, Sandor Clegane is always sharing his food with his hostage Arya Stark in scenes where they threaten and insult each other. Although they never become friends, they do form an unconscious bond via A Shared Suffering.
In Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories, the peasant girl Nettles is able to tame a feral dragon and become its Dragon Rider by bringing it food, whereas more foolish men tried to tame it the hard way.

One Piece:
Even after Nami betrays Luffy and lets him get captured by Buggy early on, the audience knows she's gonna stick with the crew when she feeds Luffy while he's tied up and caged. Apparently, you can do anything to Luffy and he'll still wind up liking you if you give him some food and nice treatment.
Much later, in the Dressrosa arc, he was quick to befriend Rebecca after she gave him food, and likewise shrugged off her feeble attempt to kill him for that reason (well, that and the fact that she didn't even have any killing intent anyway, only doing it reluctantly (long story)).
Also happens between Hiriluk and Chopper; this being the first time anyone's been compassionate and kind to him, the poor little reindeer boy cries tears of joy on the bread he's eating.
The crew of the Roger Pirates initially gave a cold reception to the new arrival, Kozuki Oden, declaring that they only needed him for the information he possessed. As soon as he cooked them his namesake, all animosity dropped and they became lifelong friends.

After Eom recovers he takes Eom to a noodle restaurant where the by-now famished North Korean helps himself to several bowls. Kwak unlocks the handcuffs that Eom is wearing and attachs a cuff to his own wrist so Eom can eat, and by the end of the meal decides to discard the handcuffs altogether.

Several Pokémon in the Safari Zone can only be caught if you leave food out for them.
Additionally, in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, sometimes, you'll find a traveling Pokemon fainted from hunger. If you give them an apple, they'll join your team. This can also happen in the remake of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team games.
The player character giving the tired cover Legendary a sandwich kickstarts the overarching plot of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The fierce-looking Pokémon immediately becomes loyal to them, becoming your main mode of transportation until it's strong enough to battle with your command.
You "catch" Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep by giving them Biscuits. Biscuits come in Poké Biscuit, Great Biscuit, the daily Bonus Biscuit, and Master Biscuit varieties, with each subsequent tier granting a bigger boost to the Friendship Gauge. Giving a Pokémon a Master Biscuit immediately maxes the gauge out, while a Pokémon that is particularly hungry will triple the boosts it gets from eating Biscuits once. However, you cannot skip Snack Time because any leftover Bonus Biscuit will be fed to a random Pokémon if you try to do so.

Éowyn offers Aragorn stew during the journey to Helm's Deep in the extended edition of The Two Towers. Though it's clearly awful, he tells her he likes it, and when she turns away, he goes to pour it out — but she turns back with a question, and he spills a bit on his hand, visibly attempting to prevent a grimace of pain at the presumably hot stew.

In The Stand, the first thing Glen Bateman does when he finds Stu Redman, the first fellow survivor he's met in weeks, is to invite him to lunch. Mother Abigail does something similar when she greets the first group of survivors to find her with a small feast of fried chicken, corn-on-the-cob, and strawberry-rhubarb pie. Even the villains get in on this: Flagg gains Lloyd's loyalty by rescuing him from starvation. When Trashcan Man reaches Vegas, Lloyd's first act is to offer him some Kool-aid and a burger dinner.

In Rollo and the Spirit of the Woods, Rolli initially refuses to befriend Millie the Elf out of the fear of what other rolleys might think. When he sneezes, she offers to make him lichen tea in order to strike up a friendship, but the offer is immediately rejected. She then notices some captured viviparous lizards and offers to make soup from their tails. That piques Rolli's interest, and they're soon conversing over lizard tail soup.

By the Sea: Because Cody is confined to a bathtub, Obi-Wan shares his food with Cody as the latter recovers. It means a lot more in Cody's culture to share food, and Cody reads this gesture as a show of Obi-Wan offering friendship, although Obi-Wan himself wasn't thinking of it as anything more than a necessity. Cody, in turn, shares a raw lobster with Obi-Wan and is at first baffled and a little hurt when Obi-Wan declines at first before relenting at Cody's insistence. Later on, Obi-Wan shares more and more surface-world foods with Cody, in particular fruits and later some Chocolate of Romance. Obi-Wan continues the tradition with Cody's brothers- Eyayah becomes obsessed with blueberries, and Wolv comes to love peanut butter.

Delicious in Dungeon: One of the major themes is about food bringing people together, so this happens frequently. A few examples:
Team Chef Senshi introduced himself to the party by demonstrating his monster-cooking expertise — and how delicious the results can be.
Captured by a band of orcs, the party befriends them by showing them how to make leavened bread, and then by convincing them the bread should be enjoyed with a full meal. When the last of the food is finished off, the orcs let the party go voluntarily, with their blessing.
The party befriends the standoffish loner Izutsumi over the course of several meals. Izutsumi's character arc comes full circle when the rest of the party is incapacitated, and instead of abandoning them, she cooks a basic recipe on her own and nurses them all back to health.

Doctor Who:
"Would you like a jelly baby?"
In Matt Smith's first episode, he meets a little girl who feeds him. She grows up to be his Companion.
Also used to consolidate a relationship with a Companion. At the end of their first adventure off-world, the Ninth Doctor asks Rose Tyler whether she wants to keep traveling with him. As she nearly got killed, Rose hesitates...but then asks if he wants fish and chips. Even though she's delaying her decision, we know then that she's going to stay. Likewise, when the Doctor regenerates into his Twelfth persona, he worries whether Clara Oswald will stay with him, so at the end of the episode he asks her out for coffee. Or chips. Or something with chips and coffee?
In Series 10, the Twelfth Doctor has what is implied to be a highly dangerous monster imprisoned in a vault in his basement. However, at the end of one episode, the Doctor is shown bringing Chinese food and offering to share his latest adventure. It's no surprise when the prisoner turns out to be Missy.

In Monster, Tenma makes a traditional Japanese meal for his shooting instructor and his adopted daughter, whom he dragged home from Myanmar after killing her mother in self-defense. The girl shows nothing but icy hatred for him until his piss-poor skill with chopsticks makes her smile. The last we saw of them, she was happy as they walked hand in hand.
This trope goes in the other direction quite often, as well — Tenma Forgets to Eat, so a number of the good guys wind up feeding him (Maurer, Reichwein, and Grimmer, for instance).

Subverted in the final episode of Blake's 7. Roj Blake is cooking an animal he's killed, and offers some to a wary Action Girl who's creeping up on him. This seems like the fundamentally decent Blake we all know, but it turns out he's now a Bounty Hunter and he takes her prisoner after they share a meal and fight off some other bounty hunters. Blake does turn out to be still one of the good guys, but the Action Girl turns out to be a Federation spy sent to capture Blake, so the trope is subverted again.

Averted, subverted and played semi-straight in Nation. Daphne first sees Mau when he's dragging the bodies of all the Nation's people into the sea; recognising his numb grief, she leaves him mangoes when he finally goes to sleep. When she wants to make a proper introduction, she decides that tea and scones will surely overcome the communication barrier; unfortunately, she's trying to have a civilised English tea party in a grounded and listing shipwreck, and her terrible (first-time) attempts to make scones taste like rotten lobster, as the rather odd captain kept one in the flour barrel to eat the weevils; Mau comes away from the whole experience bemused and horrified by the foul taste, but recognising that the poor, strange Ghost Girl is making an effort. The third time, Mau makes a fish stew on the beach, which is much better; though they still can't talk to each other, their nervousness (and ridiculous attempts at table manners given the circumstances) makes them crack up laughing, and they become proper friends.

In one Eighth Doctor Adventures novel, it's mentioned that the Doctor's companion Fitz Kreiner, who had a really crappy childhood due to being half-German during World War II, doesn't think too badly of military-type people because his most prominent memory of them was meeting some American GIs when he was about nine, who played with him and gave him a candy bar. He doubts they'd have been as nice if they'd known his surname, though.

In Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, this is how the Gargantians open negotiations with Ledo: Amy shares a dried fish with him. He's reluctant at first because he's never eaten "animal corpses" before, but when he realizes it's a diplomatic gesture of goodwill he accepts it. Tensions with the Gargantians do not drop immediately, but they are eased a bit by the exchange.

Doraemon: Nobita's New Dinosaur have the Tomodachi Chocolate, which can turn any animals into loyal, obedient pets to the feeders. Including dinosaurs. Gian managed to tame a Tarbosaurus attacking the gang by throwing the Tomodachi Chocolate into it's mouth, turning the Tarbosaurus into a doe-eyed cutie in the process who then follows Gian everywhere, and later on Suneo and Doraemon does the same, respectively to a Sinoceratops and a Brontosaurus.

In Spore's Tribal Stage, you can domesticate wild creatures by offering some food to them; this turns the entire species into your allies, if they didn't have the "mortal enemy" relationship status with you.

In Surf's Up, a tribe of native (cannibal?) penguins try to eat Chicken Joe, until Joe offers them roasted squid on a stick. Finding that it "tastes like chicken", they make him their leader instead.

Pokémon: The Series:
Subverted in an episode of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, when Jessie fails to lure Maylene's Lucario to her by offering chocolate. The offer itself is a reference to Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, where Max succeeded in making friends with Aaron's Lucario — who was untrusting of humans — this way (so the movie is a straight example).
Played straight with James, who caught three of his Pokémon by offering them food. Though Inkay's sandwich-assisted capture was technically a trick, a croissant later snaps Inkay out of mind control by reminding it of their friendship. In an early episode, James also got a kidnapped Donphan to work for them when he fed it a huge pile of hay.

Skull Island (2023): Annie and Dog's first meeting in the flashback of episode 6. Dog tried to make off with a pack of hotdogs from the shipwreck where Annie was holing up, only to stop and hesitantly return them to her when she demanded it. After cutting the pack open and eating half a hotdog for herself, Annie offers Dog another half, to the latter's visible and pleasant surprise. Ten years later, girl and monster are practically inseparable.

Noblesse Shinwoo buys Rai a bowl of ramyeon/ramen on his first day since Rai came to the school carrying nothing; Shinwoo also buys lunch for Ikhan because he forgot his wallet. This is especially significant because this is the first meal Rai has had since waking up in Korea after 820 years of sleep and has been friends with Shinwoo and his friends ever since.

The Innsmouth Legacy. A flashback shows how the Marsh family met the Kotos in a US government concentration camp, which has just been filled with Japanese-American internees during World War 2. Rei Koto brings them tea, having heard one of them coughing (because he's dying as they're far away from the water). She's shocked to see who they are nursing, but then asks if maybe he needs tea as well? The Marshes find this Actually Pretty Funny.

Another Harry Potter example would be in the third book where Lupin gives Harry chocolate after the Dementors attack. Though in this case, the chocolate does more than just introduce the two. Chocolate in the Potterverse is apparently an actual remedy for the effects a Dementor has on people.

In the Once Upon a Time episode "Good Form", Regina tries to win one of the Lost Boys over by offering him chocolate. Subverted in that, while he seems to accept it cautiously, he instead throws it as far into the woods as he can and laughs. So she seizes his heart and uses it to mind-control him instead. She only tried doing it the other way because she was working with the heroes.

The Book of Boba Fett
In the first episode Boba is Made a Slave of a Tusken tribe and forced to dig up the black melons. It's thirsty work in the desert, but when he tries drinking from one the Tusken child who's guarding the slaves beats him. However when Boba saves that child by killing a sand monster, he earns their respect and the chieftain hands him a melon to drink from.
Inverted in "Return of the Mandalorian". Din Djarin brings the head of his bounty to his current paymaster. Impressed, he asks Din to join him at his dinner table and discuss further business. Din shows they're not friends or even business partners by curtly refusing and leaving once he's received payment (in fairness Din was in pain from a leg injury).
At the end of Season One, Boba Fett has won the respect of the people of Mos Espa, and some children come up and offer him a bowl of fruit. Boba takes one, which he then throws to Black Krrsantan who fought at his side. Krrsantan though growls at the others when they jokingly suggest sharing.

He promises Peter that the Bat family members have all seen their fair share of traumas, and that they all want to help him through his. This is what gets Peter to open up about the events of Infinity War, Endgame, and No Way Home, and is what helps him finally accept the Bats as his new family.

Subverted in the seventh season when Giles picks up one of the Potentials, and since they share no common language, he takes her out for ice cream as a way to show friendship. Unfortunately, like most Asians, she's lactose intolerant.
In "Killed By Death", Xander and Cordelia are on stakeout and start arguing as usual. Cordelia storms off, but returns later with coffee and donuts for Xander.

Not as great a cultural barrier as in other examples, but when Shima from Stellvia of the Universe goes to study into space, she takes a can of confections with her, which play an integral part in her making-friends process.

Star Trek: Voyager
In "Gravity" Tuvok is stranded on a desert planet and rescues an alien female from attackers. It's a Scavenger World with other stranded aliens fighting for resources, so to gain her trust Tuvok offers her a ration bar, no small gift given that she has to hunt her own food, and that consists mostly of large spider-like creatures.
In "Muse", B'Elanna Torres has crashlanded but is saved by a local poet, who sees her as the inspiration for a play he's writing. B'Elanna drives him off at phaser-point, but he just returns the next day with food, knowing B'Elanna hasn't eaten for a while. She's in a more conciliatory mood by then, realizing she's going to need his help getting off the planet.
Invoked in "Parallax". After B'Elanna Torres punches Joe Carey, Chakotay suggests she try bonding with him over a hot cup of perjuta instead.
Subverted in "State of Flux". Chakotay's New Old Flame Seska is introduced bringing him mushroom soup, but they get into an argument when Chakotay finds out the mushrooms were stolen by Seska. At the end of the episode, Seska is revealed to be a Cardassian Deep Cover Agent who has been spying on Chakotay the whole time.

You "catch" Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep by giving them Biscuits. Biscuits come in Poké Biscuit, Great Biscuit, the daily Bonus Biscuit, and Master Biscuit varieties, with each subsequent tier granting a bigger boost to the Friendship Gauge. Giving a Pokémon a Master Biscuit immediately maxes the gauge out, while a Pokémon that is particularly hungry will triple the boosts it gets from eating Biscuits once. However, you cannot skip Snack Time because any leftover Bonus Biscuit will be fed to a random Pokémon if you try to do so.

The Punisher (2017). The strength of Frank Castle's relationship with David Lieberman can be tracked by their food preparation. At first, David does not even bother to let Frank know about the sandwich ingredients in the fridge, letting him eat StarKist Pouches while making subs for himself. In later episodes, Frank can be seen eating a nice pasta dish made for him by David, and he later cooks a meal for his new buddy.

Star Trek: The Next Generation. In "Journey's End", Captain Picard realizes that his ongoing tension with Admiral Nechayev isn't good for either of them, so he prepares tea and her favourite canapes when she visits to give him a Mission Briefing. Surprisingly this has some effect, probably because she recognizes that Picard is extending an olive branch.
