* In ''Microwave Massacre'', the main character is a cannibalistic serial killer who at one point shares some of his homemade lunches with his oblivious construction worker buddies. They love them.
* The "gin sung" the main characters are served throughout ''Shriek of the Mutilated'' turns out to be human flesh.
* The first story of the Hong Kong anthology horror film ''[[Three... Extremes]]'' (and the remake of the first story, ''[[Dumplings]]'') puts a [[Cruel Twist Ending]] on this Trope. Viewers might figure out quickly that the secret ingredient of the dumplings that the protagonist uses to remain young is human flesh, but while true, it's a very specific type - {{spoiler|that of aborted fetuses.}}

Line 38 ⟶ 39:
* The novella about the restaurant serving ''Admirstan Mutton'' heavily implies this. Some patrons might be in the know—after all, there's always some poor soul who doesn't get the rare treat makes a brief return to the menu. Really, the luck to leave for a vacation just days before they would've finally known the taste of the famed Admirstan Mutton!
* Run into a restaurant in the middle of nowhere in ''[[Water Margin]]'', odds are it serves the guests by, well, serving the guests. Two of the [[108]] heroes run such a chop shop.

* In the first episode of ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'', Bob has to fight allegations that his burgers have human meat. Or rather, allegations that they contain more than 4% human meat, which disturbingly is allowed by the FDA in this odd reality.
* ''[[Animaniacs]]'' has a variant in the Rita & Runt parody of ''[[Les Misérables]]'', where Rita's owner's meat pies are not selling, so he starts secretly using the cats he shelters for the pies. Since the protagonist is a cat, it has the same effect.
* A common fan theory amid fans of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' is that the secret ingredient for Krabby Patties is, in fact, crab meat.
