There are all manner of foods in this world, with restaurants catering to nearly every cultural and ethnic cuisine you can name. However, if you really want to show that your characters are Cloudcuckoolanders, you can have them order dishes with ingredients that simply should not be available from your standard restaurant, let alone combined together. A sub-trope of Cordon Bleugh Chef. Related to Bizarre Taste in Food, with the added note that this is a restaurant order. In other words, not only did someone request a dish with these ingredients, they found a restaurant that honors and supplies said ingredients. Note that in many nations, ingredients might be used for dishes that are seemingly odd to an American palate, but are perfectly normal to those regions. As such, No Real Life Examples, Please!.

The Whiteboard uses pizza toppings as a Furry Reminder; for instance, Swamp Fox tends to order fieldmouse and groundsquirrel, the lynx couple favor thin-sliced hamster, and Doc (a polar bear) gets fermented walrus liver on his pizza. | |

The "Sinner's Sandwich" from Deadly Premonition contains the unlikely combination of turkey, strawberry jam, and breakfast cereal. York gives it the name because he's convinced that Mr. Stewart eats it as some kind of self-inflicted punishment... until he tries one, and is amazed at how much he enjoys it. | |

In the Discworld novel Mort, one of the things Death does on his vacation (having left his new apprentice Mort to handle the job) is work as a restaurant cook. To the owner's amazement, Death turns out to be an amazing chef and is somehow able to give customers literally any dish they ask for. The owner asks for an "alligator sandwich" just to see what happens, and he receives a sandwich that, as far as he can tell, actually does contain alligator meat. | |

Elf: While eating dinner with his human family for the first time, Buddy asks for the syrup to be passed to him. Since they're having spaghetti, there is no syrup on the table, but luckily Buddy always carries some around in a flask. Apparently, elves eat nothing but sweets: they consider the four food groups to be candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. | |

Zig-zagged in a "U.S. Acres" segment of Garfield and Friends. Orsen opens up a restaurant and claims he can fill any order, or it's free. Roy tries to put this to the test, requesting one outlandish concoction after another, only for Orsen to dish it up. Roy finally requests an elephant sandwich with mustard. As luck would have it, an elephant does show up on the farm, but Orsen can't bring himself to turn him into a sandwich. He tells Roy his order is free, and Roy guesses he didn't have an elephant to serve. The elephant then trumpets from his trunk, and Orsen smugly says that he has elephant...he just ran out of mustard. | |

Scooby-Doo: Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!: Shaggy orders sandwiches for the whole gang at the Malt Shop. Liverwurst a la mode. Two notable things about this; first, the restaurant owner does balk at having to make it, and second, this is the first, and only time we see that the whole gang might be eating this bizarre food combination. The New Scooby-Doo Movies: At one point, Shaggy says he wants a chocolate pizza. This was in an era before the advent of dessert pizzas, so this might not sound strange to a modern audience, but the implication at the time was a standard pizza with chocolate added. |

Sam & Max: Freelance Police: Sam and Max love placing bizarre orders at Meesta Pizza and Stinky's Diner, just to Troll the staff. Both restaurants are oddly nonplussed ("He [Meesta Pizza] said toppings are extra, and they're all out of entrails"), while Stinky's exact response varies depending on the game. In Beyond Time and Space, Girl Stinky relays the orders to offscreen cook Sal in humorous Hash House Lingo, but in The Devil's Playhouse, she blows them off completely. | |

In Burger Shop, this is the main gimmick of Clown-type customers, who will order nonsensical things that other customers won't order, such as ice cream with mustard or a pizza with whipped cream; you have to fulfill their orders regardless. This isn't always the case however, as Clowns can also order more conventional food (but still rare for other costumers), including a burger with four stacks of beef patties or one that combines beef and chicken. | |
