Alice invites Bob to dinner, or lunch. Bob is impressed by the excellent cooking, and Alice smugly informs him everything was grown in her very exclusive garden. Interestingly, Alice is usually a villain, either because villains are the ones who tend to have [[Small Name, Big Ego|big egos]] and be obsessed with living "off the grid" somewhere in Waco or because [[Hitler Was a Vegetarian]].
Often (but not always) paired with [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine]].

'''Eddie''': They've got black bits all over them.<br />
'''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]].
