* ''[[Fringe]]'' Observers will cover their food in peppers and douse it in Hot Sauce before eating it.
* Subverted and invoked in an episode of ''[[The Voyage
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'':
** In ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]]'', [[The Brute|Loki]] likes to eat rats, preferably ones that aren't dead yet. This might be justifiable on the surface (seeing as he's a demon) but even they ''other'' demons find his eating habits disgusting.
Line 55:
* A ''[[Garfield]]'' strip had Garfield douse Jon's scrambled eggs with ketchup, much to Jon's disgust.
* ''[[Zippy the Pinhead]]'' enjoys Ding Dongs with taco sauce. Creator Bill Griffith recounted how he had the combo available, as a joke, at a book signing - and gave away a ''lot'' of them!

{{quote|'''Lucy:''' BLEAH! What in the world are ''those?''
'''Linus:''' ''(nonchalantly, reaching into the bag)'' Sour marshmallows!}}

Line 79 ⟶ 82:
** In an episode where their friend Napoleon Bonafrog (one of the Punk Frogs) comes to visit, Michelangelo makes him a special pizza with mealworms, gnats, and mosquitoes; Napoleon is upset that it doesn't have flies.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Homer is known to be a [[Big Eater]] with little regard for eating healthy, but he's eaten some pretty odd things, like mayonnaise (as in ''just'' mayonnaise, without putting it on anything), Maggie's baby food, flour (when he's depressed), and Vaseline. (In regards to the last one, the writers commented it was the most disgusting thing Homer ever ate.)
* In''[[The Smurfs (animation)|The Smurfs]]'' episode "The Grumpy Gremlin", the eponymous gremlin's favorite food is grelch, a relish made from wild onions and garlic that smells pretty foul, likely why the gremlin has no friends (well, that and the fact that [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin| he's pretty grumpy]]) but he eventually makes friends with a dragon who also loves grelch.
* In an episode of ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', Garfield and Odie get stuck in a shelter (which is, of course, [[Pounds Are Animal Prisons|an animal prison]]) where the food is so disgusting, Garfield refuses to eat it. ([[I Can't Believe I'm Saying This|"Never thought I'd ever say ''that'',"]] he remarks.) Odie, however, likes it, prompting Garfield to say, "You'd think a tongue like that would have ''some'' decent taste buds."
