Food often plays an important role in the personalities of television characters. Ron Swanson, of course, is the most clear-cut example because he is defined by two things: His libertarian politics, and his love of meat. But television writers for years have been using food to help sprinkle some color into the personalities of their characters, or sometimes for the benefit of product placement. Knowing what kind a food a character loves can be informative, although sometimes it’s just a nice thing to know about a person.
