* Played with in ''Manga/ActuallyIAm'', for Asahi and Youko's first (real) date in chapter 101. Youko makes up some BlatantLies about her omelet being better than the one in Asahi's bentou (even though it's the same) just so she can enact this trope, to her boyfriend's immense delight. Asahi then uses the exact same "tactic", full with a "say aaah", to his girlfriend's immense embarrassment. It's as adorable as it sounds.

A use of ThroughHisStomach, with an excuse to get physically close to the LoveInterest.

One person puts food into another's mouth as a romantic gesture. Very frequently, the feeding character will say a variant of "Say 'AAAH'" to the one that is being fed. The sensual aspects of the feeding get emphasis (doing it slowly, with a hand cupped under the other person's chin, maybe letting a fingertip linger in the recipient's mouth...you get the idea).

Often an action of SickeninglySweethearts.

Compare SweetheartSipping, ChocolateOfRomance, and also EroticEating. SpaghettiKiss is a related trope.

* Appears in episode 5 ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' where Ichika ends up with his entire harem trying to feed him at once. The solution was to have everybody feed each other.
* Parodied in ''Manga/FairyTail'' chapter 545.5. Juvia tries to invoke this by spoon feeding her beloved Gray, but he, already oblivious to her affections, is even more put off by how horrible the food is.

[[AC:Film]]
* Played with in the film ''Film/EverAfter''. The pretty stepsister invokes this--the prince goes to hand her a treat (we find out later it's chocolate), and she closes her eyes and opens her mouth suggestively. The prince is obviously not aroused, and actually looks a little disturbed by it, but he feeds it to her.
* In ''Film/NineAndAHalfWeeks'' the two lead characters feed each other in front of an open refrigerator as foreplay.
* Parodied in ''Film/HotShots! Part Deux'', where Topper and his gal feed each other. At one point Topper fries an egg on her belly.

[[AC: Literature]]

** Robin is reluctant to do any lovey-dovey stuff with Mike in "Slutty Pumpkin". Mike wants her to taste his chicken, but she refuses and [[DefiedTrope defies the trope]]. Lily tells her she should be more girlfriend-like and she attempts to share her sundae, but she likes it too much, so it doesn't really work out well.
** In "Something Blue", Marshal and Lily try to spoon-feed each other at their wedding with the cake. Lily is completely drunk and sees Marshal's face twice or thrice, and she falls down.

[[AC:Western Animation]]
