* The fruit in "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti. Unfortunately it's also a metaphor for drugs. Or sex. Or... [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic something.]] (Maybe temptation itself.) Once Laura eats some she loses the will to eat anything else, it's that delicious -- but from that day on the goblin sellers of the fruit are invisible to her.

* The bizarre short story "Biscuits of Glory," collected in one of Bruce Coville's anthologies of children's stories, features biscuits that are "heavenly" in a near-literal sense. In a normal person, this causes levitation. [[spoiler:When given to a ghost, it "feels like it went to heaven," and is exorcised.]] Of note is that this is ultimately a negative effect, because nothing else can compare to the taste of the biscuits.

On the flipside of ForeignQueasine and AlienLunch lies this. This is the foodstuff of legends, often produced by a SupremeChef. FoodPorn doesn't do it justice. The DeliciousDistraction pales in comparison. Just one bite will prompt anyone to [[YumYum moan with pleasure]]. Countries have gone to war for the taste. It's an Impossibly Delicious Food—like ImpossiblyCoolClothes, it's food that's over-the-top in terms of deliciousness.

It's so delicious that all the people in Retroville develop an addiction to it and act like zombies, caring about nothing but getting more of his candy(luckily Jimmy never got to try it). Jimmy, of course, saves the day, though it was his invention that created the peril in first place, like he does OncePerEpisode.

* A major plot point in one of Bone Chiller's novels (a series of childrens horror fiction novels similar to Goosebumps). A new lunch lady makes food so delicious that all the students and teachers flock to the cafeteria every day to get a taste of her meals, and even fighting over them. It's so good that the main character cannot bear to eat anything other than her cooking, comparing his cornflakes he ate for breakfast to sawdust. However, over a series of strange events the he realizes that the lunch lady is actually a giant insect who implants eggs in her cooking so that they will incubate in the hapless residents, controlling their movements until they eventually hatch and discard their hosts' bodies. The main character manages to bring the bug lady down with the help of a fellow student (who was allergic to outside food and had to bring her own lunch to school).
