I Ate What clean up. The trope is when a character eats something, unaware of what they are consuming, and then reacts in disgust after they find out what it is. Misuse will be deleted or moved to another trope when applicable. Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be removed or commented out depending on the amount of context within the entry. Also, I Ate What is not a character trope.


* IAteWhat: Barely averted by Xander when he nearly eats his hard-boiled demon egg.

* EnemyMine: Averted. It looks like Lyle Gorch is going to fight the Mother Bezoar alongside Buffy (especially after his brother gets swallowed) but he blames Buffy instead.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Buffy and Angel have the following conversation in a graveyard:
-->'''Angel''': You really don’t care what happens a year from now? Five years from now?
-->'''Buffy''': Angel, when I look into the future, all I see is you! All I want is you.
-->'''Angel''': I know the feeling.
** The two then kiss and the camera pans to a tombstone which says "In Loving Memory". This could be a foreshadowing of the next episode, in which Angel turns bad and their relationship disintegrates.
