** In Karen Traviss's books in the ''Star Wars'' EU, any and every character who has ever tried this one dense syrupy cake made by Mandalorians has it as their absolute favorite. They say something along the lines of "It's good, but it's not uj cake" approximately every time they eat any other food. It looks like Traviss uses uj cake as shorthand for how [[MarySuetopia incredibly awesome and superior]] Mandalorians are supposed to be.

* Ax of ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' and cinnamon buns. Considering his adoration of chocolate, chili, and cigarette butts, establishing one thing as his trademark favorite food is quite a feat.

([[ItMakesSenseInContext Don't ask]].) While cinnamon buns are Ax's absolute favorite, his favorite things to eat all happen to start with the letter C.

* ''Literature/BazilBroketail'':
** Dragons of Argonath absolutely ''love'' beer and will usually go into a cheerful song after the first round (mind you, due to their size, the first round typically means downing an entire barrel -- ''per dragon''). They like it so much that denying them beer can actually be a blow to their morale (like in Kohon, which was overtaken by religious fanatics at the time and which prohibited many things -- alcoholic beverages included -- rendering beer unavailable).
** Dragons will generally eat whatever you will serve them, even oatmeal or noodles, but will only genuinely like it if you serve it with a considerable amount of akh -- a chili sauce-esque extra hot spice which dragons find delicious and will eat with just about everything. Also, due to their predatory nature, they really enjoy good meat -- especially horseflesh -- but they are particularly fond of fish and other ''frutti di mare'', since they are naturally aquatic predators.

Other noticeable standbys are Old Tilman Ale (seemingly the only beer Manticoran officers ever share), and Delacourt, the vintage of wine that Honor breaks out to celebrate any really special occasion.
