1 | '''Basic Trope''': One culture's delicacy is another culture's NauseaFuel. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Aerith, the ForeignExchangeStudent from [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} Wikistan]] brings a dish involving [[StockYuck octopus tentacles]] to school. Everyone else, with peanut butter sandwiches and other foods typical of [[{{Eagleland}} Tropestan]], is {{Squick}}ed out. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': As soon as Aerith opens her lunchbox, everyone starts vomiting and running away in horror. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Aerith's meal is quite normal, but may contain seasonings or a sauce unusual in [[{{Eagleland}} Tropestan]]. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** The people of Tropestan are not familiar with foods like this. |
7 | ** ''Pain de chien'' is too {{Kick The Dog}}gish for Tropestanians. |
8 | ** Wikistani foods are usually made by CordonBleughChef. |
9 | * '''Inverted''': |
10 | ** [[AerithAndBob Aerith thinks Bob's]] peanut butter sandwich is disgusting. |
11 | ** The Tropestani kids adore Aerith's Wikistani food. |
12 | * '''Subverted''': |
13 | ** One day, Aerith brings in an unusual food, but no one is grossed out. Some may even genuinely like it if she lets them try it. |
14 | ** It's not traditional Wikistani food, Aerith was just messing with everybody. |
15 | * '''Double Subverted''': But then the next day, she brings in something smelly, which grosses everyone else out. |
16 | * '''Parodied''': The people of Wikistan don't actually eat chilled monkey brains. [[TheGadfly Aerith]] just says so to troll the locals. |
17 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Some people like Aerith's dish, others hate it. |
18 | * '''Averted''': |
19 | ** Aerith's food is just like that of the Tropestani kids. |
20 | ** Aerith's food is unfamiliar to the people of Tropestan, but they don't find it disgusting. |
21 | * '''Enforced''': The work is created by a Tropestani author at a time when relations between Tropestan and Wikistan are sour. The execs make the writer add some anti-Wikistan propaganda. |
22 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Eww! I can't believe they eat octopus tentacles in Wikistan!" |
23 | * '''Invoked''': Some Wikistani no-goodniks decide to serve octopus tentacles in the hopes that their Tropestani visitors will be scared off before they have a chance to uncover the Wikistanis' EvilPlan. (As a side note, this was why the quasi-Hindu {{cult}}ists served such disgusting food in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', but the movie didn't spell this out clearly enough, so it just came off as culturally insensitive to a lot of viewers.) |
24 | * '''Exploited''': Aerith uses this as a means to keep other kids away from her, so she can enjoy her lunch by herself. |
25 | * '''Defied''': Aerith just eats what everyone else eats. |
26 | * '''Discussed''': "Uh, Aerith? Why is your lunch moving?" |
27 | * '''Conversed''': "Look, I know live squid look gross, but it's delicious!" |
28 | * '''Implied''': Bob is visibly disgusted when he peeks inside Aerith's lunchbox. We never see what it contained. |
29 | * '''Played For Laughs''': Bob visits Wikistan, gets hungry and desperately searches for a [[BlandNameProduct WcDonald's]]. |
30 | * '''Played For Drama''': Aerith is bullied by the [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer other kids]] because they find her food disgusting. |
31 | * '''Deconstructed''': Food is part of culture, and Aerith is under heavy pressure to give up on hers because no one likes her food, causing much angst. |
32 | * '''Reconstructed''': Other kids let Aerith eat what she wants, as long as ''they'' don't have to eat it. |
