Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it!
—"Eat It" by "Weird Al" Yankovic

"I don't like food any more."

"How come everything I don't like is good for me and everything I do isn't?!"

"Now cut the turkey thin, but not too thin. Now put the mustard on the turkey in a clockwise motion, and then place a slab of cheese on top. Pour the mayonnaise on top of that, but in a counterclockwise motion. Add an extra slice of turkey on top, and then place the second slice of bread on top, and make sure the two slices of bread are even."
Sherman (describing a sandwich), Calvin & Hobbes: The Series, "The Genius Hamster"

"I don't "like" food, I love it. If I don't love it, I don't swallow."
Anton Ego, Ratatouille

SpongeBob: (hands Squidward some lemonade) Here you go, your majesty.
Squidward: I can't drink that!
SpongeBob: Why not?
Squidward: Are you blind?! Just look at it!
SpongeBob: What about it?
Squidward: That lemon has three seeds in it. THAT'S AN ODD NUMBER! I can't eat anything odd-numbered!
SpongeBob: Fine, I'll just take it out!
Squidward: NO! NO! It's already contaminated by the bad lemon! It won't work!
SpongeBob SquarePants, "Can You Spare a Dime?"

Lilith: You haven't seriously been living on just crumpets for the past few years, have you?
Tina: I...do not understand the question.
Lilith: I brought food for lunch, you could—
Tina: OH, GOD, WHAT IS THAT?!
Lilith: What? It's a salad—
Tina: WHY IS IT GREEN?! IT LOOKS LIKE THE DEVIL!!
Lilith: Just calm down—
Tina: It's staring at me!
Borderlands 2, "Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep"

"I can't even eat. The food keeps touching. I like military plates, I'm a military man, I want a military meal. I want my string beans to be quarantined! I like a little fortress around my mashed potatoes so the meatloaf doesn't invade my mashed potatoes and cause mixing in my plate! I HATE IT when food touches! I'm a military man, you understand that? And don't let your food touch either, please?"
Patrick Zevo, Toys

Mum makes us bacon and eggs and fried tomatoes and baked beans for breakfast the next day. It is a very classic British breakfast, and one of my dad's favourites. I don't like bacon very much because it is covered in white, sticky fat, and I don't like beans because they're red and covered in red, sticky sauce, and I don't like eggs because the yolks are too yellow and sticky. I don't mind tomatoes, though, so I poke at them with the prongs of my fork. I don't eat the bits of fried tomatoes that have touched the beans or the egg yolks, because that taints them, and mum scolds me.
Lilac, The Mermaid of Zennor

Sam: Yellow and green in one bowl. Could you separate the lima beans from the corn, please?
Rita: Sam, don't be impossible. Can I have the spinach omelet - only egg whites, no fat, no oil, no butter, and extra mushrooms?

Marna: If I hadn't [convinced Eclair to eat her veggies to get big], the only thing I could have gotten her to eat is macaroni and cheese and chicken nuggets.
Fiona: Those are still her favorite!
