* In ''VideoGame/DontStarve'', you can make a Ham Bat, which is exactly what it sounds like. Unlike all the other tools and weapons in the game, it has unlimited [[BreakableWeapons durability]]. ''Also'' unlike all the other tools and weapons in the game but very much like foodstuffs, it slowly spoils over time. It used to be possible to eat it, but this was removed in an update.

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Gobliiins}} Gobliins 2]]'', the protagonists need to steal a rich man's sausage (specifically, a ''saucisson'').

* Fat pirate mooks from ''VideoGame/PirateHunter'' carries large legs of roast as bludgeoning weapons, which can somehow do the same damage as sword-slashes.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games, Farfetch'd uses a leek as a weapon. Galarian Farfetch'd take it further not only by having leeks so large they can beat things into submission, but also by evolving into Sirfetch'd, which uses said leek as a ''lance.''
* In the ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'' series, there are weapons like the Veggieblade (A carrot), the Yam Spear (a roasted yam on a stick), the Dekash (a tuna), the Dual Leeks and the Daikon Staff. The only materials to craft them are produce you've grown or caught, meaning you are literally just grabbing them and using them as weapons. [[LethalJokeItem They're also surprisingly effective]].

There is also a chef's hat and apron available as non-armor clothing though, so you'll often see people use these items in roleplaying. Other people will also use them in humorous outfits, since the game allows you to change the appearance of your weapons and armor to that of anything else you've collected.

** It's also mentioned in passing that a young Nanny Ogg, when she was working as a servant in the Royal Palace, dissuaded the King of Lancre from forcing himself upon her with "a large leg of lamb wielded in both hands, ending her career below stairs and putting quite a lengthy crimp on his activities above them." (And yes, it is pointed out that [[ReallyGetsAround all he had to do was ask nicely.]])

** {{Subverted|Trope}} with the Pyro's Lollichop, which looks like a lollipop to... [[AmbiguousGender them]], but is actually an [[AnAxeToGrind axe]].
