* In ''[[CircleOfMagic Street Magic]]'', when Briar is entering the stronghold of the Big Bad, he notices at once the luxuriant and flourishing gardens of the rich widow -- very strange in a landscape that has been suffering from a long drought. [[GreenThumb When he asks the plants how they're so strong,]] they answer "[[SoylentGreen Rich food!]]" This is before Briar learns what the widow is using as fertilizer...

* Horrifying variation in IClaudius. [[spoiler: Livia gets around her husband only eating directly from his fig orchard to avoid poisoning by putting poison on them while they're still on the trees.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Mr. Incredible eats with Mirage, Syndrome's SexySecretary, who points out how everything was grown on the island, thanks to the volcanic soil.

* Played in a horribly straight way with the products of the [[CosmicHorror Garden of Nurgle]], Chaos God of Despair and Decay from TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} and TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} mythos. Roughly everything [[{{Plaguemaster}} Nurgle]] makes is a [[MysticalPlague horrifying, grotesque disease]], and likely to make you DeaderThanDead ([[TheCorruption unless you join in with him]]). Nurgle [[BlueAndOrangeMorality considers these to be gifts]], and will [[AffablyEvil jovially bestow them onto a populace, now matter how ungrateful they will be in the end]].

* Mercilessly warped in ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' during the second tea party. Beato starts bragging about how [[spoiler:every dish Rosa is eating was made from her siblings]].

** Not that that's much better than [[YouDoNotWantToKnow what gelatin is normally made of]].[[hottip:*:Boiled pig skin, mostly. And now you know.]]

* In {{Halo}}: FirstStrike, while negotiating with an insurrectionist community for repairs for their ship the bridge crew of the ''Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice'' are treated to refreshments that Governor Jiles brags are grown from the hydroponics gardens in the asteroid.

* ''StargateAtlantis'' plays it for laughs '''and''' NightmareFuel.

-->'''Beato:''' It's a sweet aperitif of noble rot German-made wine. A wine cocktail made of white wine mixed with a crimson golden drop. If I had to give it a name, I'd call it a Bloody [[spoiler:Krauss]]. Soaked with just a golden drop of [[spoiler:[[{{ImAHumanitarian}} your brother's blood]]]] that was squeezed out of a compressor.

<<|FoodTropes|>>

* The [[StarTrekVoyager Voyager]] two-parter ''Year of Hell'' has a NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine scene where Tom Paris gets the opportunity to taste the typical food of alien civilizations that ''never existed''! The BigBad Annorax has [[RetGone wiped them out of time itself]], and keeps the [[LastOfHisKind last artifacts of their culture]] on his ship. Granted, this stuff was not grown by Annorax himself, but at least the access is quite exclusive.

* ''JusticeLeague'': In the episode ''Hereafter'', after {{Superman}} realizes the futility of fighting Vandal Savage, the latter invites the former to lunch. The food is great because [[PlanetOfTheApesEnding Vandal Savage has had 30,000 years to rediscover the principles of agriculture]].

* A variation in ''[[TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea]]'': Captain Nemo informs his prisoners that everything they are eating was taken from the ocean. One of them is [[{{Understatement}} less than thrilled]] to know he's eating [[{{Squick}} octopus embryo gelatin.]]

* HORRIFYING variation in IClaudius.

Alice invites Bob to dinner, or lunch. Bob is impressed by the excellent cooking, and Alice smugly informs him everything was grown in her very exclusive garden. Interestingly, Alice is usually a villain, either because villains are the ones who tend to have [[SmallNameBigEgo big egos]] and be obsessed with living "off the grid" somewhere in Waso or because HitlerWasAVegetarian.
