* ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII'': Many sidequests in the Wildlands have food as a reward in addition to the usual stat boosts. Unusually for the trope, Lightning doesn't get to eat any of it (at the player's direction, anyways); her chocobo, the Angel of Valhalla, is wounded and refuses food from anyone but her, and the sustenance is all that stands between him and recovery.

Added DiffLines:

* If you wish to thank a nurse for taking such good care of you, and you wish to send a gift to him/her (as opposed to just a thank-you note), edible gifts sent to the whole team s/he is part of (such as all the nurses on 2 West, as opposed to just that one nurse) are the best way to go. This is because many hospitals have policies against nurses and doctors accepting personal gifts (with a few exceptions, such as homemade items). If you send a consumable and relatively inexpensive item to the whole team (e.g. a fruit basket, one of those edible fruit arrangements, popcorn, chocolates, a cheese board, etc.), it doesn't create the appearance of a conflict of interest, bribery, or other impropriety.

* A standard trope in British humour comics such as ''Comicbook/TheBeano'' and ''Comicbook/TheDandy'' is for the NaughtyIsGood main character's shenanigans to somehow, possibly inadvertently, help a rich adult, who rewards them with a "slap-up feed" at a restaurant (which for some reason is ''always'' bangers and mash, represented as a huge mountain of potato with sausages sticking out of it).

After George claims "There is ''no'' way you can get us to do this video," two Heineken's slide into view. Cue a resigned "Alright" from Dermot.

At least one quest in [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]] sees you get a free beer placed on a bar next to you in the course of a quest.
