This trope covers instances when a character eats or drinks something that's not intended to be food. Most of the time, [[Senseless Phagia|the character is not aware of what they're consuming]]; typically results in a [[Spit Take]], [[Vomit Indiscretion Shot]], or some other response once the discovery is made.
Line 9:
Inevitably produces lots of [[Squick]] and [[Nausea Fuel]]. Might lead to [[It Tastes Like Feet]] when the dust settles. Often played for laughs as a form of [[Refuge in Vulgarity]].
 
Differs from [[Foreign Queasine]], [[Reduced to Ratburgers]], and [[Alien Lunch]] in that thethis stuff eaten wasn't supposed to be eaten by ''anyone'', even in desperation. Bob drinking Rigelian bloodwine ("a delicacy on my planet!") is [[Alien Lunch|not this trope]], but Bob drinking Rigelian rocket fuel ''is''.
 
One of [[The Oldest Tricks in The Book]]. A very popular tropesubtrope is [[Eating Shoes]]. Another subtrope is to mistake pet food for human food: see [[Dog Food Diet]]. Another is [[Tampering with Food and Drink]] in various forms to conceal drugs or medicines, ranging from [[Laxative Prank]] to [[Slipping a Mickey]].
 
Compare [[Eat That]], [[Secret Ingredient]]. Contrast with [[Gargle Blaster]], [[Masochist's Meal]], and [[Fire-Breathing Diner]]. Also see [[Lethal Chef]] and [[Evil Chef]], two people who may be involved with this trope. [[Cool, Clear Water]] might be subverted for the drink-based version of this trope.
Line 185:
* In ''[[Little Britain]]'', there was a series of sketches where a bigoted old lady would sample some food and initially love it, but when she found out a minority made it, she then would proceed to vomit everywhere.
