History Main / EvilTastesGood

* ''Fanfic/NotTheIntendedUseZantetsukenReverse'': One of the demon souls Soma possesses (the Waiter Skeleton) allows him to make delicious curry out of thin air with dark magic. The dark magic is part of why the curry tastes so good - when Daisule replicates the recipee manually he just can't get it to taste as good.

* In ''Comicbook/{{Lucifer}}'' Hell produces a highly addictive drug called Pain, which is distilled from the suffering of the damned (specifically it is masochistic suffering as Lucifer notes early on that all the people in Hell are there because they feel the need to be punished). Exactly what it tastes like is never elaborated on but it is highly addictive. When the damned are given hope the taste is spoiled.

* ComicBook/{{Venom}} considers ComicBook/SpiderMan the best host. To the point where, when it latches onto the [[ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan Doc Ock-controlled Peter]], it realizes something's wrong and attempts to return to its previous host, Flash Thompson.

* Creator/SarahMichelleGellar has an EvilTastesGood scene in ''Film/CruelIntentions''; in fact, she could just as well serve as the TropeNamer for this.

* In {{Film/Interview With The Vampire}}, Lestat uses this in its most literal sense as part of his pitch to Louis to feed off of humans instead of animals.

* In ''Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'', Edmund finds his first quite literal taste of evil ''very'' good, specifically of the White Witch's [[strike:drugs]] [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil Turkish delight]]. It soon not only tastes less good but is actually kind of nauseating... [[TheDarkSide but it's so hard to stop.]]

* Probably the most famous quote from the Dark Eldar in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' is "Death is my meat, terror my wine" by [[{{EvilOverlord}} Supreme Overlord]] Asrubael Vect. Given that the Dark Eldar [[{{EmotionEater}} feed on pain and suffering]] this tropes gets brought up quite often around them.

* Fawful from the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series makes several food metaphors. About [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom Doom.]] And mustard.
** At one point he talks about drizzling rage dressing on a salad of evil.

--> Red Mage: This meatloaf is great! Aren't you glad you came back to the mortal realm so you could enjoy this stuff, BM?
--> Black Mage: When I was the Hell King we feasted on the souls of gluttons. It was like eating murder, marinated in sin. It was bliss.
--> Vilbert's Mom: Well, ''I'' like to put a touch of chili powder in the meat. You know, to give it that extra little kick.
--> Black Mage: That's...that's just super.

* In [[http://www.vimeo.com/15272233 an episode]] of Webcomic/GirlGenius Radio Theater, even the good guys cannot deny that caramel tastes better when infused with pure evil.
* In the popular fan-videos entitled "The REAL Legend of Zelda,"a humorous (if NSFW) take on Ocarina of Time, it seems Ganondorf has gone into the Breakfast Food area of business, for when Link is in a store, intending to buy bombs, Navi notices a box of Ganon-Flakes, and proceeds to force Link to buy them.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Eric Cartman describes "the tears of unfathomable sadness," caused by [[spoiler:him killing Scott Tenorman's parents and grinding them up into chili]] as "yummy."

* In the ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Odds Man In", Dr Drakken uses a chain of gourmet cupcake shops to disguise his new strategically placed lairs, much to the shock and disappointment of the heroes, who had been eating them throughout the episode (however, Drakken had gotten sidetracked at that point and was more interested in running the cupcake shops than world conquest, much to Shego's frustration). In another episode, he intends to brainwash the American military by putting mind-control serum in their sandwiches.

* Parodied and subverted in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' episode "Fear Itself". When Control Freak turns candy into monsters, Cyborg decides to get rid of them by eating them and proclaims "Never knew evil tasted so good!" Then he suddenly gets sick from it and throws up, and is still sick in the next scene when Beast Boy starts to show the rental movie.

* In the pilot for ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', when Grim makes his first appearance, A giant vortex appears. Billy asks what it is, so Mandy takes a bit on her finger, tastes it and says that it's a swirling vortex of pure evil. She then has a second helping.

* In Volume 4 of ''Anime/{{Monster}}'', the Neo-Nazi gangster called "the Baby" continually compares the arson he plans to commit against the Turkish section of town to a fine meal, with [[spoiler:the destruction of the chemical warehouse]] as the "main course". When it's prevented by Tenma, he sadly notes, "My main course has gone cold..."
