Vic took a few more minutes to settle himself enough to talk, in between chuckles. “I always thought a space traveler’s biggest problem with food would be never having fresh food!” He tried to put a more serious face on, but it just wasn’t happening. “Are we going to feed Lexx nothing but Jello and Vitamin pills?!”
“I … hadn’t thought of that.” Chel gasped and slapped a hand over her mouth. She really hadn’t. Lexx had never really discussed the situation if he stayed on Earth, but he would likely have to learn to eat human food or leave frequently to replenish his stores.

Lexx could not even eat Jell-O as Gelatin is made from Animals as well. He’s stuck with Vitamin pills of he wants Earth Food.

if you remember in the first few comics though he liked milk… untill he found out where it came from…

…tofu, then, maybe?

Maybe they can start bland and move on from there? Or start with foods that at least taste like what they’re used to? Make it clear where the food came from, even get them involved in preparing it if possible, and go slow. Hailfire is right with the milk thing. I think it’s just a conditioning thing. If you’ve never eaten something and you’re offered it unexpectedly, then you’re more likely to reject it than if you’re given a warning before it’s offered.

Nah, I think he’d do fine with being a vegetarian.. And with strategic cooking, you might even lure him into trying a freshly grilled hamburger.. just don’t tell him where it came from.

Considering that Jell-o is made from cow bones…. I don’t think he’d react any better to it than the milk. 😛 But yeah, the vegetarian bent does seem plausible. It may be somewhat less repulsive to him than animal products.
Also, with the milk, if you don’t grow up drinking cow milk, it WILL make you sick… at the very least. It’s something you need to drink as a child before you can drink it as an adult.

Dairy can be a problem even when introduced as a child. My wife just discovered that the rosacea that she had suffered from for years went away when she stopped eating dairy.

Even if you grow up drinking cow milk you might not be able to keep drinking it. Lactase persistence is nowhere near universal, being mostly found in people of European and Mongolian descent.

I can see them getting back to Earth and Chel sits him down in front of the TV. She says “Here, watch the Travel Channel to get an idea of what the rest of the planet is like”. An episode of Bizarre Foods comes on and an appalled Lexx says “You eat WHAT on this planet?”
