History Main / ImpossiblyDeliciousFood

* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'': Some of Haruna's cooking. [[OneNoteCook Especially if she's cooking eggs.]]

* In ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'', Shiroe's party pretty much viewed [[SupremeChef Nyanta]]'s food as this, after subsisting on a diet of food which uniformly tastes of unseasoned rice crackers for a couple of weeks.

* LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom: Maria's cookies and desserts are so delicious that when she decides to sell them in the school festival, they ran out almost instantly.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Milk from Miltank is like this, as Ash and his entourage quickly find out after Whitney - who raises Miltank on her family's farm - offers it to them; Whitney actually sells it, along with milk-based products made from it like cheese, butter, and ice cream.
** In ''Sun & Moon'', Mallow is 100% capable of producing any tasty dish (unlike how her in-game character is [[CordonBleughChef into exploring beyond her abilities using strange ingredients]]).

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': [[SupremeChef Asuna]] creates the most delicious stew with a ragout rabbit, a super rare S-class ingredient that Kirito found out of sheer luck.

* ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged'' amplifies the example from ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'''s episode 8, and [[SupremeChef Asuna's]] meal made from an S-ranked ingredient comes out of the oven with an [[PowerGlows overwhelming golden aura.]] But it also shows the downside of this sort of food when afterward, Kirito and Asuna find that even her sandwiches now taste like she "dipped a dog turd in Cool Ranch."

[[caption-width-right:350:The potatoes were apparently so good that their taste alone [[TearsOfJoy will make you cry]], whether you like it or not.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': No one can resist Krabby Patties. When Squidward tries a tiny bite of one for the first time after saying he hates them, he becomes obsessed with them, starts having dreams about marrying a Krabby Patty and having children with it, and ends up breaking into the Patty Vault and eating so many patties that he bloats up to a gigantic size and then explodes.

* ''Mister Ajikko'' is probably the modern TropeCodifier. Almost as old as ''Manga/DragonBall'' with everything the trope as to offer.

* A notable UsefulNotes/McDonalds commercial has a singer singing all about how he knows his girlfriend's secret and shows her sneaking around in the rain only to reveal that he knows she doesn't share her ten-piece Chicken Nuggets.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation has numerous examples of incredibly delicious supernatural food. However, it's also usually SchmuckBait and incredibly dangerous in some manner.

* There was this one ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketch when Lindsey Lohan was hosting where the characters are in a fancy restaurant and eat this impossibly good chocolate dessert. Their expression of this deliciousness is taken up a notch when one guy starts smashing plates on his head and Lindsey starts smearing the chocolate all over her face and chest.

* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' has a series of short stories in the form of memories. One tells the story of a wine connoisseur who is offered a wine so delectable that he is willing to literally do ''anything'' to get another taste.

** In ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'', newly incarnate entities known as the Auditors are exposed to chocolate for the first time; the experience is so overpowering that it physically kills them. Though this is sort of an inversion; the chocolate is "ordinary" chocolate, albeit [[http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Chocolate the very best the Discworld has to offer]].[[note]]It is Weinreich and Boetcher's, which is as far above ordinary chocolate as Cadbury's is over Hershey's. Or indeed Belgian or Swiss is over Cadbury's in the hierarchy of great chocolate. Terry Pratchett makes it clear there is a hierarchy - he describes the (nasty) [[http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Guild_of_Confectioners ingredients of mass-market cheap Discworld chocolate]] in some detail![[/note]] The Auditors designed their bodies under the assumption that more sensitive taste buds would allow them greater analytic accuracy but meant they could not handle strong tastes such as from chocolate. When the heroes are launching this attack, Susan is unable to keep herself from constantly snacking on it herself. When the monk Lu-Tze doesn't really care for it (being more of a yak yogurt fan) it freaks her out a bit.

On the flipside of ForeignQueasine and AlienLunch lies this. This is the foodstuff of legends, often produced by a SupremeChef or a [[GrandmasRecipe beloved grandparent]]. FoodPorn doesn't do it justice. The DeliciousDistraction pales in comparison. Just one bite will prompt anyone to [[OrgasmicallyDelicious moan with pleasure]]. [[SeriousBusiness 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.

* Literature/TheBible is low on references as to what the catering will be like in Heaven. We are assured bread, water, milk and honey will be part of the post-mortem deal; but the only Biblical reference to the taste of heavenly foodstuffs concerns a "scroll" offered to St John of Patmos on his visit to the heavenly realms in the book of Literature/{{Revelation}}. This is described as being impossibly sweet in the mouth, sweeter than anything the saint has ever tasted before (but bitter in the stomach).

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-597 SCP-597]] is a massive blob of flesh covered in nipples for every species of mammal. Those in its presence will be immediately compelled to find a teat and begin to nurse. The milk produced is identical to that of the drinker's mother, makes one feel safe and comforted, and drinking it will reduce anyone to a mentally infantile state regardless of their age and compel them to never stop nursing.

* The bizarre short story "Biscuits of Glory," collected in one of Creator/BruceCoville'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.

* A major plot point in one of ''Bone Chiller'''s novels (a series of children's horror fiction novels similar to ''Literature/{{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 the cornflakes he ate for breakfast to sawdust. However, over a series of strange events, 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).

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-261 SCP-261]] is a vending machine that produces all sorts of packaged food, including some that are from other planets, realities or points in time. One of the items it produced was a bottle labeled "Mr. Mercer's amazing condiment" which makes anything taste delicious. And we mean ''anything''. Including wood, stone, sand, rotten meat, and brussels sprouts. However, it only changes the taste. It doesn't make them any more edible.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': "Monkey Business" (DC issue #67) had Mojo Jojo renouncing crime and going legit, opening his own restaurant. The girls don't buy it and in the opening confrontation, they think Mojo is poisoning the food. But when they actually taste it, they find it's absolutely excellent. (This still doesn't stop them from their suspicions and after two further disruptions, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Mojo throws it in and reverts to crime]].)

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': The girls react this way to the candy the Mayor gives them in "Candy is Dandy." They get giddy and savor every moment of the experience. When he tells them they can only have one piece each time they save the day, they resort to repeatedly springing Mojo Jojo from jail so that they can recapture him and reap the rewards.

* There was this one ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketch when Lindsey Lohan was hosting where the characters are in a fancy restaurant and eat this impossibly good chocolate dessert. Their expression of this deliciousness is taken UpToEleven when one guy starts smashing plates on his head and Lindsey starts smearing the chocolate all over her face and chest.

* One episode of ''Series/{{QI}}'' discussed how it took over three hundred years from its discovery for a specimen of the Giant Tortoise to be presented to the British Museum, simply because people kept eating them before the ship could reach its destination. Contemporary reports describe it as being unbelievably delicious, which the guests naturally took UpToEleven ("right, this time we'll take nine of them, and we'll eat ''eight''"). [[ExoticEntree Unfortunately, they're a protected species now]]...

* The Soup Nazi's soup in ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. It's so good it makes your knees weak.

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation has numerous examples of incredibly delicious supernatural food. However, it's also usually incredibly dangerous in some manner.

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1361 SCP-1361]] is a giant orange mass of animal tissue. If it ever gets bigger than 107 kilograms (236 pounds), it will start producing an irresistible scent, described by a D-class as "better than a rare steak, crispy fried bacon, and a wet [EXPLETIVE DELETED] all rolled into one." Humans and other carnivorous animals will want to eat it, but when they do, SCP-1361 will start eating them from the inside instead. It smells even better when cooked, as D-class personnel will resort to violence in order to get the stuff after catching a whiff of it.

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-294 SCP-294]] produces whatever drink you input on its little keypad. When it was asked for "the perfect drink", it made a drink so unbelievably tasty [[PerfectionIsAddictive that the guy who tried it said everything afterward was a drag and committed suicide two weeks later]]. Two different researchers later asked for "their favorite drink". Each one got a different beverage; each one found their own drink just short of the perfect one. When they swapped the consensus was "Good, but mine's better."

** I am [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-426 SCP-426]], a toaster that causes everyone talking or writing about me to always refer to me in the first person. Prolonged exposure to me causes people to believe that they too are toasters, and they will attempt to emulate the functions of a toaster, usually inflicting injury or even death upon themselves in the process. When the Foundation exposed [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 SCP-682]] to me, it ate a lot of bread and started launching deadly ProjectileToast. Said toast was later eaten by a bunch of D-class subjects, who claimed it was the best toast they ever ate.

* Essential Food from ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}: Magic'' is basically food in its purest, most perfect form. (It's created by magic, of course.)
* Preparing such foods is a special ability of Lilim of Gluttony in ''TabletopGame/InNomine.''
* In ''WebOriginal/{{Mortasheen}}'', [[PunnyName Rhost]] is a SupremeChef who can make just about any dish from inside his body in minutes, and his cooking is universally considered delicious, but the good cook also has an ace up his sleeve - he can produce an unreasonably tantalizing substance he calls his "special sauce." This sauce is said to be so tasty and enticing that Rhost can even use it to lure armies into obvious death traps with a trail of fresh pasta and make enemies eat themselves into comas, to name a few.
* The results of a ''Heroes' Feast'' spell in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' or ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}''. Not only is it incredibly delicious (as opposed to the bland but nutritious stuff produced by Create Food and Water), eating it can cure any poison or disease, and for the next twelve hours the diners gain several buffs. Once your party gains access to this spell, expect it to become their primary source of food.
* ''The Complete Book of Elves'' in the 2nd Edition of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' mentions feywine, a potent wine made by elves that usually only their royalty drink; even elves find it hard to resist after tasting it, and humans have been known to ''fight'' over it when the elves share it with them (which is rare, for that exact reason).
