* [[ManiacMonkeys Gorilla Grodd]] of ''Franchise/TheFlash'' hates bananas. It's [[BerserkButton a bad idea]] to try and offer him one (a trait that carries over into most adaptations).

** Tohru's dislike for fish is a constant thorn in his side. This may have had to do with a RunningGag where he was often defeated by fish used as an impromptu weapon before his HeelFaceTurn, though he is shown to actually dislike it as food as well.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Mario, strangely enough, does not like ''mushrooms'' of all things. This becomes a minor RunningGag when he's transported to the Mushroom Kingdom, and he's mildly exasperated by all the mushroom stuff, including the PowerUpFood, which is also mushrooms. At one point, he throws up after having to eat many of them in rapid succession.

* ''Series/AlexRider'': After finding out from Jack that Alex has been recruited as a spy, Tom visits him at the Friend estate under cover of delivering a pizza. With anchovies.

* ''Series/BizarreFoodsWithAndrewZimmern'': Andrew will cheerfully eat almost anything: bloody entrails, duck eggs with a fetus inside, pig brains preserved in aspic, etc. But in an episode about Hawaii, he was presented with a dish made of spam and could barely force himself to taste it. He even went on for about five minutes about how much he hates spam. He also has a strong aversion to durian (a fruit in which fellow travel host and chef Anthony Bourdain liked). He also does not like [[spoiler:walnuts]]. When Zimmern guest starred on the Minneapolis episode of ''Series/ManVFood'', he had host Adam Richman (who makes his living eating enormous amounts of fatty, sugary, and/or unearthily spicy foods) try some lutefisk. He couldn't stomach more than one bite.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcgee'': It turns out that Molly hates maple syrup, describing it as "tasting like a trees tears".

* The famous ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' "[[Recap/MontyPythonsFlyingCircusS2E12 Spam]]" sketch: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "I Don't! Like! Spam!"]] The {{Trope Namer|s}}, this one is {{justifi|edTrope}}able: rationing had forced Britons to eat the stuff for ''years'' after [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII the War]], and even after that, meat remained expensive, so by the time the Pythons came around, the whole island was heartily sick of it. The sketch plays on this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODshB09FQ8w Lovely Spam! Wonderful Spam!]]

* The famous ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' "spam" sketch: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "I Don't! Like! Spam!"]] The TropeNamer, this one is justifiable: rationing had forced Britons to eat the stuff for ''years'' after [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII the War]], and even after that, meat remained expensive, so by the time the Pythons came around, the whole island was heartily sick of it. The sketch plays on this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODshB09FQ8w Lovely Spam! Wonderful Spam!]]
