1849. Abū Tālūt said: "I entered upon Anas bin Mālik while he was eating gourd, and he was saying: 'O you tree! I do not like you but because the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ liked you.'"

١٨٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي طَالُوتَ قَالَ: «دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ الْقَرْعَ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: يَا لَكِ شَجَرَةً مَا أَحَبَّكِ إِلَاَّ لِحُبِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاكِ» وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

To love a vegetable or food because the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ liked it is evidence of a persons love and reverence for the Prophet ﷺ himself, although the liking or eating of it has not been made an obligatory duty upon a believer in the Sharī'ah.
