Not everyone has had the fortune to grow up in an environment where there was enough time and opportunity available to learn proper dining etiquette. Such folks may shock others when they sit down to eat. Sometimes Played for Laughs if the work in question is poking fun at the character for their table manners. Comical examples might be accompanied by Buzzsaw Jaw. May be a case of Values Dissonance, as dining etiquette varies from culture to culture. May overlap with Raised by Wolves and My Instincts Are Showing. May also overlap with Big Eater, but this trope does not necessarily require that the character eat a lot. May be a trait of one with One-Track-Minded Hunger. Compare Jabba Table Manners, which is similar to this trope, but uses bad table manners to demonstrate that a (usually rich and villainous though equally likely with poor and villainous) character is overly gluttonous. This trope involves less moral judgment. Also compare Too Desperate to Be Picky, and Bratty Food Demand. |

Neko Zombie from Gregory Horror Show is like this almost all the time. He is locked in his cell all day and breaks out from time to time in a desperate search for something to eat. This hunger drives him to eat anything he can get his paws on, including the main character's mobile phone. | |

In Runaways, Klara comes from a rural background, and prior to joining the Runaways, was married off to an abusive older man who almost certainly starved her. Whenever she's seen eating in the series, she's usually wolfing down her food. Given her background, her teammates are very understanding. | |

In Great Teacher Onizuka, Onizuka's students blackmail him into taking them to an expensive sushi restaurant, where they order several platters of expensive fatty tuna. Eventually, Onizuka snaps and buys five more servings for himself and starts eating like there's no tomorrow. Then he orders five more servings of abalone and sea urchin. And a sashimi boat. And 10 MORE servings of salmon roe, ark shell, and sweet shrimp. Throughout all of this, he's shoving whole platters of sushi into his mouth with his hands and messily washing it down with green tea. And then, to add insult to injury, he runs away without paying. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Jounouchi is a Big Eater and former street punk, and you'd do best to keep your hands away from his mouth when there's free food around. This comes up with Bakura a few times, which is kind of funny since he's usually very polite. But the evil spirit sharing his body doesn't seem to bother about keeping him fed, so when he finally gets his hands on food he ends up wolfing it down with both hands and a napkin tied around his neck, sitting on the floor in front of the fridge, etc. His Ancient Egyptian counterpart had equally bad manners, but being an orphan and an outlaw it's to be expected. |

Cookie Monster from Sesame Street is a classic example of this trope. Whenever he gets his hands on any kind of food, and not just cookies, his table manners reflect very poorly on him. One sketch even has him share a cookie with a starving little girl, and she eats it exactly like he does! | |

The students of Sifu Chiu's dojo in Seis Manos invite the young orphan Domingo to have dinner with them in Episode 1, and his table manners leave much to be desired. When he realizes he's bugging Silencio (a mute young man who doesn't need a voice to express how annoyed he is with Domingo's slurping), he sheepishly admits he was hungrier than he thought. | |

In the Superman: The Animated Series episode "Ghost in the Machine", Lex Luthor is held hostage inside his own lab by Brainiac, who forces him to build him a new robot body. When Brainiac finally allows Lex to take a dinner break, Lex gorges himself on a handful of candy bars from a nearby snack machine. In the middle of this, he sees his reflection in one of the wrappers and shudders at how low he's fallen. | |

In Wolf Hall, Thomas Cromwell has a servant named Christophe who grew up poor and starving and as a result, is an always hungry Big Eater when he finally has access to regular meals as part of Cromwell's household (especially when it comes to sweets, which he previously had no access to). In particular, there's a scene where Cromwell is serving pastries to a noblewoman who mostly just picks nuts and fruits off the top. The moment she leaves, Christophe starts snarfing down her leftover food. | |

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe fic A Little Red and Blue, Sharon is inadvertently sent to the year 1944 by Wanda. Lacking time period appropriate currency, she is unable to get herself any food until she runs into the past Steve and Bucky who, after briefly interrogating her, take her to a diner where she wolfs down two cheeseburgers and a plate of cheese fries. In a later chapter, after again going through some time without food, Steve treats Sharon to a breakfast of bacon, eggs and ham which she very quickly scarfs down. He comments that she eats faster than the Howling Commandos. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Toph usually eats with a complete disregard for etiquette, as a form of rebellion against her stiflingly proper upper-class upbringing. When dealing with refined characters she genuinely respects, her manners become perfect. Played with in an episode where Iroh is imprisoned. When his guards are watching him eat, he makes a point of shoveling his food into his mouth with his hands like a madman, so that they think that he's losing his mind and thus don't suspect that he's planning to escape. When not being observed, on the other hand, he eats like a civilized human. |

Arcane: Vi eats with her hands, slurps food down noisily, and talks with her mouth full; it's hard to find a table manner she doesn't violate while eating next to Caitlyn. She's got the excuse of being fresh out of prison but the incredibly brief shot of her eating in "Enemy" MV implies this is just the norm down in the Undercity. | |

Lampshaded and defied in Fables; Prince Brandish claims that he's been kept in a prison and starved by Mister Dark in order to gain the Fables' trust, but Grimble notices that he showed impeccable etiquette and patience at dinner, which seems unlikely for a man having his first proper meal in months. That, combined with his exercise regimen showing him to be in far better shape than a starving man could possibly be, makes Grimble realise he's up to something. | |

In Shrek 2, Shrek makes several mistakes when having dinner with Donkey, Fiona, and her parents, such as drinking water meant for washing hands and belching at the table. While this is a sign of his grungy upbringing, it escalates into a sign of anger when both he and King Harold start ripping apart the food in tune to their insults at one another. | |

In Splash, Allen takes Madison to a seafood restaurant and orders a lobster. Madison, being a mermaid, picks the whole thing up and bites into the carapace with a loud crunch, thereafter pulling it apart and eating it with her fingers. Allen excuses her unorthodox approach by saying, "She's really hungry." | |

The Perilous Gard: Defied by Kate, who's been abducted by the Fairy Folk to be a maidservant. When she's served her first meal in the Hill, she eats it slowly and with attention to her manners, despite how ravenous she is after having been kidnapped. The other maids, by contrast, toss away the spoons and tear the meat with their fingers, stuffing big chunks of it into their mouths. | |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, when Elizabeth gets captured by Barbossa, he invites her to dinner in his private chambers. At first, she plays her role as the governor's daughter and refuses to touch the mountains of food on the table, but when Barbossa encourages her on account of her being half-starved after being held on his ship for quite some time, she forgets all table manners and messily devours what she can grab. Barbossa looks on longingly as she gorges herself and then offers here even more, although she had to pause for a bit when he offers her an apple and she assumes it was poisoned, and he assures her it's not.note He's unable to sate himself on food and drink because of the Aztec gold curse, so he's practically getting his rocks off watching her do it. | |

Ever since becoming a zombie in The Undead Schoolgirl: Dead Pulse, Izuku doesn't so much eat as she attacks her food like... well, like a ravenous zombie. Bakugo figured out through experimentation that she only gets like that around food that's good for brain growth, muscle growth, or blood production; anything else, she eats normally. While funny when she steals Bakugo's Greek yogurt in the time it takes him to blink, others are a bit unsettled when she rips a leg off a pig roast and tears off chunks of meat with her teeth. After finishing the leg, she devours the rest of the pig, several apples and parfaits, and most of a chicken before her hunger is satisfied and she snaps out of it. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: In “The Romantic�, Gumball sets Penny up on a romantic scavenger hunt, most of which injures or endangers her because of his incompetence. By the time Penny reaches the dessert place, she's so dehydrated and worn out that she wordlessly snatches the ice cream that was waiting for her straight out of Larry's hands and wolfs if down. She also hisses at Larry when he tries to speak to her. | |

In Thor, after Thor arrives on Earth and joins his new friends in a small-town diner for breakfast, he finishes drinking a cup of coffee, throws it down to the floor like a mug of ale at a Viking feast, and loudly exclaims "Another!", to the embarrassment of his companions. In Thor: The Dark World, it's revealed that smashing mugs is a common practice in Asgard. | |

Dragon Ball: Goku, who was raised in isolation from other people, doesn't have any table manners whatsoever and devours everything he gets his hands on. And he eats a lot. Most Saiyan characters, including Vegeta and Gohan, eat with little regard to proper etiquette. No matter how many times their friends and allies bear witness to their ghastly table manners, they always stare on in dumbfounded awe. |

Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure: The Greedy is this, constantly and very loudly stuffing himself with the candy that makes his body, spilling it everywhere as he does so. Notably, he constantly apologizes for this as he interrupts his own speech and generally breaks every rule of etiquette, but he's so damnably hungry he can't afford to have manners. | |

In the first book of The Hunger Games, when Katniss and Peeta are having dinner with Effie, she mentions that the previous year's tributes ate everything with their hands "like a couple of savages". Knowing that the last year's tributes were starving kids from the Seam, Katniss makes a point of eating the rest of her meal with her fingers and wiping her hands on the tablecloth afterwards. | |

In a seemingly minor example, in The Ben Stiller Show sketch, "The Legend of TJ O'Pootertoot", a diner snaps at the sketch's protagonist, a waitress, then grumbles, "God, I'm hungry..." It's later implied this is related to the ravenous hunger that drove the Donner Party, of which the restaurant's namesake was a survivor, to resort to cannibalism. | |

Sanosuke and Yahiko, both of whom have probably only ever used chopsticks rather than western silverware, ignorantly hold their steak with their hands and bite into it. Kaoru angrily asks what is wrong with them and orders them to use their utensils. | |

After an incident leaves Kerry stuck outside of Cary's body for a while, Cary decides to teach her about food.

Justified, because up until Mad Scientist Nimnul's device changed him into a human, Harry had been a grey wolf in a zoo. Harry is ecstatic about the quantity and variety of food humans can access. | |

Both played straight and inverted in Heidi (2015). The straight example is Heidi's complete lack of dining etiquette when she first joins the Sesemann household, which horrifies Fraulein Rottenmeier but amuses Klara. The inversion comes late in the film when Klara goes to visit Heidi in the Alps; having spent her whole life eating the "proper" way, Klara has to be encouraged to abandon proper dining etiquette at Alm-Uncle's home, because he doesn't have any proper utensils. | |
