Abandoned Quiche

The Abandoned Quiche is a consumable item found in Waterfall.

The neglected dish is found under a bench in a small area which is only accessible if the Bridge Seeds from the second puzzle (room with the bell) form a bridge leading to the bottom right side of the screen.

Trivia

• The Quiche is a reference to a time Toby Fox found an abandoned quiche under a bench.^[1][2] Shortly after finding the abandoned quiche, Toby Fox had written an early description for the quiche in a deleted tweet which suggested that the protagonist could not drop the quiche.^[3][4]
• A deleted tweet by Toby Fox states that he removed a feature that allowed the protagonist to skip parts of the game with a quiche.^[5]
  • This likely refers to the unused "obj_quicheguilt" object, which would prompt the protagonist that "Somewhere, a quiche's worst fear becomes reality" a few seconds after leaving a room. If timed correctly, it can produce a similar glitch as the Punch Card.^{[citation needed]}
• If the protagonist calls Papyrus/Undyne while in the Abandoned Quiche area, they say "What's better than a benchful of quiche?" If the protagonist has called her in the previous area, she reveals that she and Alphys made the puzzles in that room.
