Mystery Food X makes its first appearance during the June plot of Persona 4 when Chie Satonaka and Yukiko Amagi decide to cook curry for themselves, the protagonist, and Yosuke Hanamura for their school camping trip. During the shopping trip to Junes, the protagonist observes how neither of them knows how to make curry, they do not know what to put in the curry, and they never consult a recipe. Yukiko assumes they need high gluten flour normally used for bread because they need to make food for boys[1][a] resulting in a purple substance that Yosuke likens to sand or grit which he dubs Mystery Food X.
After this incident, every cooking disaster made by or influenced by Chie, Yukiko, and Rise Kujikawa becomes a type of Mystery Food X.
