* It's been mentioned in ''[[Ben 10]]'' that humans are one of the universe's most delicious species.
* ''[[Futurama]]''
** [[Inverted]] in the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "The Problem with Popplers". The Planet Express crew discover a delicious life form on an uncharted planet, and market it as a snack food. Unfortunately for them, it turns out the popplers are actually larval Omicronians, who are none too pleased when they find out. Somewhat subverted when the Omicronians insist on eating humans (i.e., Leela) as compensation. Unfortunately for them, {{spoiler|she isn't a human, she's a mutant.}} But the difference isn't easy to notice in behavior.
** Played straight in the same episode where Bender's "solution" to being out of food is to suggest Fry and Leela fight to the death so he can cook one of them. They naturally object and look for another solution, which turns out to be the Popplers.
** Parodied in the chapter about the slurm's factory

* In ''[[Adventure Time]]'', Jake invites his rainicorn girlfriend's parents over for dinner. He tells them Finn is his goblin servant to impress them. When he finally fesses up that yes, Finn is a human, they start licking him. When they realize Jake and Finn are friends, though, they settle for artificial human.
* ''[[Regular Show]]'' episode "Meat Your Maker": A group of hot dogs (the leader of which is voiced by [[Tim Curry]]) marinate the cast with this as the intention. Then Rigby squirts mustard on them, and they eat each other instead.
