* ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'': In "Wakkiver Twist" Wakko (as the title character of ''Literature/OliverTwist'') is the only child in the orphanage who enjoys his bowl of gruel, and he spends the rest of the story hungry for more.
* Weaponized on ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' with Numbah 2. When Sector V is attacked by Grandma Stuffum and her disgusting cooking, he gleefully devours it, whereas his teammates flee in terror.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'': In the episode "The Flibber-Flabber Diet", the titular Flibber-Flabber is a kind of green goop that Mung Daal, Truffles, and Schnitzel all find gross. [[ExtremeOmnivore Chowder]], on the other hand, can't get enough of it, and sighs in disappointment when they don't have to eat any more of it.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** When Bender serves his first meal, almost everybody in the crew spits it out for being too salty, but Zoidberg has seconds (which worries him when he learns the food contains only less than 10% of the lethal dosage of sodium). Justified as the series would later establish Zoidberg to be constantly poor and hungry and an ExtremeOmnivore.
** In the episode "A Fishful Of Dollars", Fry becomes a multimillionaire thanks to [[CompoundInterestTimeTravelGambit compound interest on the dollar he put in his bank account before being cryogenically frozen]], and buys the last can of anchovies in existence to serve to his friends on a pizza. Most of his friends pull disgusted faces as they eat, with the only people to enjoy them being Fry himself (who admits "no-one ever likes them the first time you eat them, but they grow on you"), and Zoidberg (who is driven into a feeding frenzy by the salty fish aroma).
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': In the episode "Summerween", all the kids discuss how they hate what they call "loser candy", which consists of all the candy gotten during trick-or-treating that no one seems to like. After being attacked by the Summerween Trickster, the kids learn that he is ''made'' of "loser candy" and only desires to be enjoyed. Only Soos enjoys "loser candy", and eats the Summerween Trickster, which the monster tearfully appreciates as he dies.
* ''WesternAnimation/JaneAndTheDragon'': In one episode, Pepper, who's temporarily lost her sense of taste due to a tongue injury, makes some stew. Most characters [[TastesLikeFeet think it tastes of swamp water]], but Dragon enjoys it.
* ''WesternAnimation/LeagueOfSuperEvil'': The episode "Hot Can-Tato" has Skullossus promoting a contest where the winner will earn a visit to his space station and a catered lunch if they manage to find a ticket in a can of his Skullosus Brand Synthetic Ham-Flavored Meat Product. It's actually all a plan Skullosus concocted to get rid of his supply as he mentions that the food is disgusting and came about from a bad investment suggested to him by one of his Skullmandoes. Only a single old lady mentions that she actually likes the stuff while everyone else comments about how gross-tasting it is.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Lana Loud, being a lover of everything gross, also enjoys gross food. The episode ''Health Kicked'', where she and her siblings try onion infused water, she's the only one who doesn't spit it out in disgust.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In "Applebuck Season", a [[ExhaustionInducedIdiocy sleep deprived]] Applejack mishears the ingredients for a muffin recipe, leading to the creation of muffins with worms, lemon juice, potato chips, and no flour. Spike is the only one who likes them. Justified as they give everybody else [[TheFoodPoisoningIncident food poisoning]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'': Susan Murphy/Ginormica, in [[RecycledTheSeries the series]], enjoys a dish called Turkey Tetrazzini. A disgusting, greenish substance that even her fellow monsters can barely look at, let alone, eat.
* ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies2018'': In "Kermit Gets the Grumpies", Kermit is in a bad mood and not even Summer's snow cones are making him feel better. Gonzo suggests adding [[BizarreTasteInFood mayonnaise-covered sardines]] to his snow cone, and everyone else is {{squick}}ed out.
* ''WesternAnimation/OctonautsAboveAndBeyond'': In "The Monster Digger", Paani happily eats some patties he made himself. He then says they're made of fruits, seeds, and dried bugs. Tunip, Tweak, and Peso all cringe at that last part, but Paani himself doesn't seem to mind.
* ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'': Cap'n Turbot often enjoys ([[CordonBleughChef or makes]]) some kind of [[BizarreTasteInFood strange food]] like squid jerky while everyone else cringes in disgust.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'': While we've never seen him actually eat them, Peebo has stated several times on the show that he likes Proud Snacks, which are universally despised by everyone else.[[note]]Even people who actually like the taste of Proud Snacks (besides Peebo) end up getting sick soon after.[[/note]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': In "Tommy's First Birthday", the kids finally get ahold of some dog food. They eat it and start reacting in disgust, except for [[ExtremeOmnivore Phil]], who keeps digging in.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''
** Subverted in the episode "Plankton's Regular". Plankton seemingly finally gets a regular customer who actually likes his chum, where as everyone else in Bikini Bottom can't stand the stuff. [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, however, it's revealed that Plankton's computer wife, Karen, had been paying the customer to pretend to enjoy his chum.]]
** In some episodes, specifically "Free Samples", Patrick is the only one who actually enjoys eating Plankton's chum.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In "Drop Beat Dad", Marty uses his son's show to advertise Guacola, an avocado-flavored soda with the consistency of guacamole. When he throws free samples into the crowd, everyone is disgusted by the taste, except Onion, who drinks it, pauses, and then finishes the whole thing.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'':
** Terra is the only human being to enjoy Starfire's alien meals.
** When Raven tries to cook for her friends in Season 4, it's so disgusting that none of them can eat it... except Starfire, who likes it a lot as it reminds her of the meals from her planet.
** In the first episode, Mammoth is seen gleefully devouring the spoiled food in the Titan's refrigerator. Starfire later laments that someone has eaten "all of our blue furry food!"
* ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn'':
** In the episode "Fluffleberry Quest", the Snack Pack go on a mission to restore the lost Fluffleberry cake recipe made by Branch's grandmother. Once the recipe is restored, the Snack Pack decide to try a Fluffleberry cake for themselves, but they think that it has a missing ingredient once they find it to have a bad taste. They go on another trip in order to find the supposed missing ingredient, only to be told by Branch that it was used to make the dish and the cake's recipe was actually correct. He takes a slice of the cake for himself, which gets the rest of the Snack Pack disgusted.
** Trolls have been shown to generally dislike Fluffleberry. The only other Troll who's shown to like it is Nova Swift, who was seen drinking a Fluffleberry latte.
