From My Own Personal Garden: Difference between revisions

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* Mercilessly warped in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' during the second tea party. Beato starts bragging about how {{spoiler|every dish Rosa is eating was made from her siblings}}.

 

== [[Film]] -- Animated ==

== [[Live Action TV]] ==

* Parodied hilariously in ''[[Seinfeld]]'':

'''Kramer:''' Yes, I prepared it ''[[Squick|as I bathed]]!'' }}

* Horrifying variation in [[I, Claudius]]. {{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.}}

* Sent up in ''[[Bottom]]'', when Richie attempts this ("All the ingredients in tonight's main meal have either been grown, found or foraged") despite living in a grotty garden-less upper floor flat in the middle of London:

'''Richie''': Well it's just a couple of greenfly, for heaven's sake! Well they're dead now, they've been under the grill for ages. Really, I watched them pop. }}

* The [[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]] two-parter ''Year of Hell'' has a [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine]] scene where Tom Paris gets the opportunity to taste the typical food of alien civilizations that ''never existed''! The [[Big Bad]] Annorax has [[Ret-Gone|wiped them out of time itself]], and keeps the [[Last of His Kind|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.

* ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' plays it for laughs '''and''' [[Nightmare Fuel]].

'''Todd:''' ''(dismissively)'' Oh, we picked them up during our travels. I thought they would make our discussion a little more comfortable. ''I hope they prove as delicious as the farmers who grew them...!'' }}

** Note: as vampiric entities feeding on lifeforce, Wraith have no need for "normal" food on their ships. Also, the entire human population of the Pegasus galaxy is Wraith cattle, hence the trope.
