Does Not Like Spam: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

Sometimes, an [[Extreme Omnivore]] will have just that one item they don't like, and this trope will be played for laughs. In this case, it's usually something very mundane, so that while a character might be willing to eat disgusting and probably poisonous mixtures, they absolutely refuse to eat something everyone else enjoys.

(Ironically, although ~~Spam~~ is an acquired taste for most people, it's not actually that horrible, and it's very popular in much of the Pacific, particularly Hawaii and South Korea.)

Line 27:

* BT from ''[[.hack//Sign]]'' named her character based on the removal of this from her favorite food. I'll give you a hint. It's not Bacon and it's not Tomatoes.

** Mimiru points out it has no taste upon being informed of this which leaves her bewildered as to why BT dislikes it.

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'': Each of the Sailor Senshi have a least favorite food listed in their profile. ~~Usagi's is,~~ [[Meaningful Name|~~ironically~~]], carrots.

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'': Each of the Sailor Senshi have a least favorite food listed in their profile. [[Meaningful Name|Usagi]]'s is, ironically, carrots.

* ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]'': Shin-chan hates green peppers. Possibly the reason why he always asks older girls if they like them is to allow him to keep hitting on them.

* Similar to ''Sailor Moon'', most of the cast of ''[[Naruto]]'' has a food they dislike, with the exception of Lee, who cannot dislike any kind of food. Naruto in particular hates vegetables, and a brief flashback shows Kakashi appearing in his window to offer him some vegetables with his ramen.

Line 181:

** He also wasn't happy in one episode when the cafeteria was serving peas and carrots - ''again''.

* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'':

** Pizza may be the heroes' [[Trademark Favorite Food]] but Splinter doesn't like it, [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987| at least in the 1987 version.]] In fact, in one episode, when he and the Shredder are victims of a [[Freaky Friday Flip]], seeing "Splinter" enjoy it is the first thing that makes the Turtles suspicious. At the end of the episode, when the two are supposedly switched back to normal, Michelangelo offers him a slice [[Impostor Exposing Test| just to make sure]]; when he is repulsed by it, they're certain it's the real Splinter. Of course, this is probably justified due to the Turtles' [[Bizarre Taste in Food| choices of toppings.]]

** April turned up her nose at pizza too in the pilot, preferring the sushi Splinter gave her, but she'd get used to it later. Consequently, Donatello expresses his dislike of sushi in the same scene.

** Whether the Turtles like [[Stock Yuck|anchovies]] or not depends on the continuity. They have no problems with them in the aforementioned cartoon, but Mikey doesn't like them in the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|first live-action movie]], emphasizing this when ordering for delivery. Shredder, on the other hand, clearly does not like them in the 1987 version, given [[Anything But That|how he reacts]] when Michelangelo [[Pie in the Face| hits him in the face]] with a pizza with anchovy topping.

Line 210:

* Pythagoras (of Pythagorean Theorem fame) was known for his hatred of beans. To wit, Pythagoreanism was a religion based off his work and philosophy, and beans were verboten in said religion, deemed "unclean."

* [[H.P. Lovecraft]] was allergic to seafood. This explains the cephalopoidic and piscine nature of a great many of the monsters that appeared in his works. It probably didn't help that he [[Lovecraft Country|lived in New England]], where [[Cuisines in America|seafood can be a little hard to avoid.]]

* For some, a food allergy ~~is the reason that~~ [[Justified Trope|is the reason why]] they would avoid a certain food.

* [[Gordon Ramsay]] and the [[Trope Namer]]; he makes no secret of how much he hates ~~Spam~~. In fact, he claims this is one big reason why he became a chef to begin with, he was so ''sick'' of processed food, which he recalls his parents tended to use a lot of.

* [[Gwyneth Paltrow]] notoriously said, "I'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a can." [[Dude, Not Funny|It didn't exactly go over well.]]
