* [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] rather likes jelly babies in [[TheNthDoctor a lot of his incarnations]].

Later he grows very fond of fish fingers and custard.
* ''Series/{{Supergirl}}'':

* ELF (a clear parody of ALF) from ''WebComic/{{Nicky510}}'' likes to eat soap. He initially mistook it for food, but even finding out that it was not, failed to stop him from eating it at every opportunity.

** The Bird-like alien Falco (not to be confused with [[VideoGame/StarFox THAT Falco]]) isn't especially fond of Earth foods (In one episode, he tries maple syrup and ends up wiping his tongue on the floor). But he does seem to be ''extremely'' fond of salmon, especially while it's still live and squirming, which makes sense considering he's an [[IntelligentGerbil evolved alien heron]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Starfire is very fond of mustard, going so far as to drink it.

In ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'', Tee's first mate Ess also develops a thing for sweets.

* In the 1995 MadeForTVMovie version of ''Series/TheInvadersTVSeries'', the eponymous invaders liked very fatty foods and smoking cigarettes - it was actually good for them.
* Film/{{Aquamarine}} added salt to everything she ate, but that probably has to do with her being a mermaid and all and used to salt water. The actress who played her, Sara Paxton, was actually pouring lots and lots of sugar to mimic the look without actually having to eat all that salt.

** On a similar note Zander (who is a member of the same species as Falco) is also fond of Earth's fish, but he also seems to be very fond of apples -- this may be because his mate Matoaka, gave him an apple as a present the second time they met. This simple gesture seemed to have great emotional significance for Zander.
