Line 8: They might even suggest that you, [[Affably Evil]] in its purest form, poisoned or drugged the food. Other forms of rejection of comforts in captivity are possible: a nicer cell (or [[Gilded Cage\|The Presidential Suite]]), a clean set of clothing, etc. The villain may enforce the comforts by force or threats. May be a reaction to [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine]]. Sometimes a character who claims [['''I'm Not Hungry]]''' may be subjected to [[Force Feeding]]. {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[Laputa: Castle in ~~The~~the Sky]]'', Sheeta is offered a plate of food while on the [[Cool Airship\|airship]]. She continues to look out the window. Later, she rejects a nice dress. * In the manga version of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', {{spoiler\|Azmaria}} is kidnapped by the [[Big Bad]] Aion and taken to his hideout. While there, she's taken to their dining room and served a meal, but she refuses to eat ~~it--citing~~it—citing her reasons that her hosts are "bad people" and hurt her friends. The response of Shader, one of Aion's followers, is to tell her that she's "a good kid, and honest" but "food isn't evil or good". She then eats it and discovers that it's delicious. * In the ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~½\|Ranma 1/2]]'' [[The Movie\|movie]] ''Big Trouble In Nekonron, China'', Akane refuses the hospitality of her kidnappers, first on dignity, and then on the basis that a bowl of rice and a few slices of pickled vegetables is not a real meal. Annoyed at being told to conform, she storms off. Her stomach objects ''loudly'' afterwards. ** In one manga story, Ranma tries to use this excuse to get out of having to eat [[Cordon Bleugh Chef\|Akane's]] cooking. It might have worked better if he hadn't ordered and eaten a meal of real food seconds beforehand... while Akane was ''right there''. * In the 3-part pilot for ''Pokemon Diamond and Pearl'', newbie trainer Dawn offered Piplup some Pokemon food, but due to the Penguin Pokemon's proud nature, he refused. However, his stomach growled, much to his embarassment and he decided to accept Dawn's offer. Line 30: == [[Film]] == * In ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'', Elizabeth Swann tries to reject Captain Barbossa's dinner invitation and gown for it. {{quote\| If that be da case, den you be dinin' wiv de crew. An' yewll be nekkid.}} ** Elizabeth again in the third film, {{spoiler\|refusing [[An Officer and a Gentleman\|Norrington's]] offer of his quarters to remain with her crew in the brig}}. * Used in ''[[Hellboy (film)\|Hellboy]]''. HB isn't a prisoner, but he gets passive-aggressive upon discovering that Agent Myers is taking his [[Love Interest]] out for coffee: {{quote\| '''Myers:''' Hey, your chili's getting cold.~~<br />~~ '''Hellboy:''' I'm not hungry.~~<br />~~ ''[...]''~~<br />~~ '''Myers:''' Anything else you need?~~<br />~~ '''Hellboy:''' Not from ''you''. }} * The captured American general in ''[[The Mouse That Roared]]'' insists on being given treatment of a specific minimum standard, a point to which he stubbornly clings as the rest of his men are treated to the best hospitality that the Duchy of Grand Fenwick has to offer. Line 50: * ''[[Ella Enchanted]]'': when she is at the finishing school, she does this once. * [[C. S. Lewis\|CS Lewis]]'s ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]: The Horse and His Boy'': {{quote\| ''Rabadash was brought before them in chains. To look at him anyone would have supposed that he had spent the night in a noisome dungeon without food or water; but in reality he had been shut up in quite a comfortable room and provided with an excellent supper. But as he was sulking far too furiously to touch the supper and had spent the whole night stamping and roaring and cursing, he naturally did not now look his best.''}} * The ''[[Arabian Nights]]'' tale "[[Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves]]" involves a variant: a visitor informs the host that he can't eat anything with salt in it. Because "sharing salt" is a culture-specific form of [[Tastes Like Friendship]], this is a clue that he's secretly a villain. * In [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]'s '[[John Carter of Mars\|Chessman of Mars]]'', when O-Tar declares that Tara shall dine as a princess, Tara declares she sits as a prisoner, not a guest.
