* In ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'', a tribe of native (cannibal?) penguins try to eat Chicken Joe, until Joe offers them roasted squid on a stick. Finding that it "tastes like chicken", they make him their leader instead.

It works with the Junkions, but earlier the Allicons only ate all their snacks, then got mad when they ran out.

* TheStinger of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' has only Po and Master Shifu sharing a bowl of dumplings. As well as a CallBack to their epic dumpling fight, it shows how the often harsh and grumpy OldMaster has lightened up and accepted Po not only as the Dragon Warrior but as a friend.

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'':
** While the Furious Five have differing levels of animosity toward Po essentially taking their chances at being the Dragon Warrior, they (aside from Tigress) start to bond after Po cooks his dad's noodle soup for them. They start off genuinely interested in Po's story as he's cooking, find him an amazing cook after trying it, and start laughing and joking with each other.

Adding the statement that Tastes Like Disdain is the inverse of this trope to this page.


The next step up: ThroughHisStomach, which typically goes for more than just friendship, and compare FoodAsBribe, which tends to be more practically oriented toward getting someone on your side. Contrast EnemyEatsYourLunch, for when someone proves their hostility by taking your food. For the romantic side, see ChocolateOfRomance. Can involve BreadOfSurvival.

* Played with in ''Requiem for an Assassin'' from the ''Literature/JohnRain'' series by Creator/BarryEisler. [[RogueAgent Jim Hilger]] has kidnapped the friend of [[ProfessionalKiller John Rain]], to force Rain to do a job for him. Rain insists on a face-to-face meeting which naturally gets a bit tense; at one point Rain has a knife at Hilger's throat and is struggling not to kill him on the spot. [[IHaveYourWife He's forced to back down, however]], whereupon Hilger surprises him by [[NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine suggesting they get lunch]]. The trope in this case signifies not friendship, but an unspoken agreement to resolve things through negotiation rather than force. At least for now...

* Subverted in ''Film/EdgeOfTomorrow''. While hiding an abandoned farmhouse, Cage makes coffee for Rita which starts to break down her IceQueen facade...until she starts to PullTheThread.

-->'''Rita:''' How many times have we been here? ''(no response from Cage)'' How many times?!
