Line 4:
'''Waitress''': Bleagh, it wouldn't be egg, bacon, spam and sausage, would it?
'''Wife''': I [[Trope Namer|DON'T LIKE SPAM]]!
'''Husband''': Don't cause a fuss, dear; I'll have your spam, I love it! I'm having [[Overly Long Gag|spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, and spam!]]

When a food is said to be loathed by someone, sometimes to the point of [[Characterization Tropes|characterization]]. Basically, the exact opposite of the [[Trademark
Not to be confused with [[I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham]], or [[Does Not Like Men]], for that matter. (Unless [[I'm a Humanitarian|you eat human women instead]]... [[Double Entendre|Get your mind out of the gutter!]]) Also [[I Thought It Meant|has nothing to do with junk e-mail (which many of us quite justifiably despise)]].<ref>The use of "spam" to describe junk e-mail is actually indirectly derived from the [[Monty Python]] sketch.</ref>
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* Kanako Urashima in ''[[Love Hina]]'' doesn't like sweets at all. Naturally, she was adopted into a family of confectioners, and she crushes on her adopted brother, who is an expert even amongst the family at them.
* Akisame Koetsuji of ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'' loathes bell peppers to the point that they're occasionally used as a threat for dinner if he doesn't do something or other. He ''always'' complies.
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'': Misty loathes carrots and peppers.

Line 53 ⟶ 54:
* Tita in ''[[Like Water for Chocolate]]'' can eat just about anything except soft-boiled eggs.
* In one of the short stories in ''Marcovaldo'' by [[Italo Calvino]], Marcovaldo develops an absolute loathing for sausage after eating it every day for weeks.
* [[Dr. Seuss]]'s
* ''[[Pumuckl]]'', the kobold protagonist of a German children's series hates cheese (which he calls "foul milk").
* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'': Dumbledore, despite his [[Genius' Sweet Tooth|general fondness for sweets]], avoids Berty Bott's Every-Flavor-Beans after coming across a vomit-flavored one in his youth. He tries them again at the end of the first book, and...
Line 145 ⟶ 146:
* ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'': Jerry The Bellybutton Elf hates [[Large Ham|'''LINTLOAF?!''']]
* According to one episode of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', all kids and broccoli (used to figure out robot duplicates had replaced nearly the entire cast).
* Kuzco makes several comments throughout ''[[The Emperor's
* ''[[Justice League (Animation)|Justice League]]''; despite being a gorilla, Grodd claims he ''hates'' bananas.
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'':
** In the pilot episode (the first "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.") the Delightful Children invite Laura Limpin, a.k.a. The Big Badolescent to their party as a bodyguard to keep the heroes at bay. Unfortunately, this turns out bad for the villains when Laura actually tries the cake and finds out it has coconut in it, which she hates.
** [[Those Two Bad Guys|
** The whole team is revolted by tapioca pudding, and after unintentionally getting a tanker full of it, they're at a loss on how to get rid of the stuff. To their surprise - and delight - [[Could Have Avoided This Plot| it's what the villains of the episode are after.]]
** Father hates [[Stock Yuck|broccoli.]] In fact, he claims that ''everyone'' hates it, and that the reason adults make kids eat it is so that ''they'' won't have to. The stuff is downright poison to KND Operatives (with the exception of Numbuh Two). Numbuh 362 eats her way through a wall of broccoli to confront him, and while she manages to triumph and save the day, it sends her into a two-week coma afterwards.
Line 159 ⟶ 160:
** Numbuh Two is a [[Big Eater]] who will eat almost anything (including broccoli and spinach) but draws the line at [[Stock Yuck|rhubarb pie.]]
** While ice cream is the [[Trademark Favorite Food]] of nearly every character on the show, sorbet definitely is not. In "Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E", Father's [[Evil Plan]] involves constructing an ice-cream cake the size of the Death Star; when he has the captured Numbah 86 and Numbuh 18th Century thrown in the detention block, they quickly find that eating their way out is impossible, because he was savvy enough to build that part of the complex out of sorbet.
* On ''[[The Smurfs]]''
* In ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', Odd is a Big Eater who'll eat almost anything. He doesn't like sushi, however, telling Yumi's mom that he "didn't care for" it in one episode where she offered it.
** He also wasn't happy in one episode when the cafeteria was serving peas and carrots - ''again''.
Line 174 ⟶ 175:
** Plagg [[Trademark Favorite Food|loves cheese]], but he claims to have had nightmares about the non-dairy kind.
** Lila seems put off by ''all'' cheese, given her reaction to Plagg's stash.
* ''[[My Little Pony
* In ''[[The Emperor's New Groove]]'', Yzma isn't too fond of gravy, or at least dishes that use too much of it, as she complains about such dishes at a restaurant she and Kronk are dining at. She also hates spinach puffs - at least the way [[The Dragon| Kronk]] makes them.
* In the [[DuckTales (2017)|2017 reboot of ''Duck Tales'']], Louie hates hot dogs. When the boys and Webby are planning a boat trip in one episode, Webby [[Sarcasm Mode|suggests dressing like hot dogs]], so when they get lost (as they always do) he wouldn't try to eat them when he went mad with hunger. Louie actually seems to acknowledge this as a good idea.
* In the ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'', The Joker isn't fond of raisins, and becomes furious at Harley for bringing him raisin pudding. He's a little embarrassed when she tells him they're actually chocolate chips, which he ''does'' like.
* In the mostly-forgotten series ''[[Popeye and Son]]'', Junior hates spinach; unfortunately for him, he often has to force himself to eat it, as it gives him the same strength boost it does for [[Popeye|his dad.]]
* ''Everybody'' in ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' shorts seems to have a problem with onions; whenever someone is cooking something (like Bugs does in "French Rarebit") someone tells him to "Hold the onions!"
*

* Initially, children and vegetables (they generally contain substances that taste bitter even to adults). Over time, as they grow older, some
* [[George H. W. Bush]]: "I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli."
** Broccoli farmers sent 20,000 pounds of broccoli to the White House in protest. We're guessing he didn't eat it.
* [http://www.rogermwilcox.name/vegetable This guy] really really hates vegetables.
* 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|
* 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.
