78	* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManSpiderVerse'':
79	** During ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse Into the Spider-Verse]]'', as Miles and Peter make their escape from the Alchemax facility, Peter hands off the bagel he's attempting steal to Miles, who proceeds to throw it at one of the scientists attacking them, decking them straight in the head.

110	* In ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', Dwarf Bread is well known to be a backup weapon. It's fairly good at this, because it's not required to be so much ''actually'' edible as ''theoretically'' edible (if you're hungry, just think about eating some dwarven bread, and you'll start thinking of all the other things you'd rather eat...such as mountains, raw sheep, and your own foot).
111	** They also make their chocolate in the same manner. It's technically more edible since it (eventually) melts, but it's also set out in triangular spikes perfect to pierce both enemy skulls ''and'' your palate if you bite it and somehow don't lose your teeth. And it contains nuts. Similarities to Toblerone bars [[TakeThat are entirely intentional.]]
112	** 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 swung in both hands", ending her career below stairs and putting quite a lengthy crimp on his activities above them.

115	* The TropeCodifier is ''Literature/LambToTheSlaughter'', in which a frozen leg of lamb is used as a murder weapon. [[spoiler:The killer gets the police investigators to EatTheEvidence.]]

119	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
120	* ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'': ''Lamb to the Slaughter'', adapted from the aforementioned Creator/RoaldDahl story. featured a woman who killed her husband with a frozen leg of lamb in order to keep him from divorcing her. The police sent to investigate the murder did manage to deduce the husband had been killed with some sort of blunt club, theorizing the killer had used a bat. It didn't even occur to them to suspect the leg of lamb the wife had cooked up and proceeded to offer a bite of to the officers. ExecutiveMeddling forced Hitchcock to give an addendum revealing she tried this again with her second husband only for the man's absent minded nature for cause him to leave the freezer unplugged and render the meat soft.
121	* In ''Series/OneThousandWaysToDie'', a pervert flashes a group of {{Action Mom}}s and they reply via squirting him with their baby bottles full of breast milk. [[spoiler: The perv grabs one [[{{squick}} and drinks the contents]]... too bad that the lady had eaten peanuts (so the milk had some traces of peanut in it) and the pervert had a peanut allergy, [[HoistByhisOwnPetard which ends up killing him]].]]

131	--> '''Karadoc:''' Step one, learn to recognize punt objects.\
132	'''Arthur:''' Punt?\
133	'''Perceval:''' Punt objects, ones that do damage. Is that the right word?\
134	'''Arthur:''' No, no, sorry, I misheard, punt objects. Carry on.\
135	'''Perceval:''' So, sire, do you think a fennel is a punt object?\
136	'''Arthur:''' Well, [[DeadpanSnarker I'm not an expert on fennel combat,]] but instinctively, I'd say it's not.\
137	'''Karadoc:''' Trick question.\
138	'''Perceval:''' In this case, the answer is yes and no.\
139	'''Karadoc:''' The newbie sees it, he grabs it by the stem and tries to hit you with the sporadic part, right?\
140	'''Arthur:''' The ''[[FlatWhat sporadic]]'' part.\
141	'''Perceval:''' Yeah, sporadic, when it's ball-shaped.\
142	'''Arthur:''' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Uh huh.]]\
143	'''Karadoc:''' You'd have taken it by the stem, right?\
144	'''Arthur:''' This is still in the event that I find myself having to fight with a fennel, yes?\
145	'''Perceval:''' [[SarcasmBlind Yeah.]]\
146	'''Arthur:''' Possibly, yes.\
147	'''Karadoc:''' And that's where you're wrong, because if you look closely, the sporadic part has no prosperities, and therefore, is smooth.\
148	'''Perceval:''' So, you need to grab it by the ballian part-\
149	'''Karadoc:''' -Or sporadic-\
150	'''Perceval:''' -and fight with the stem.\
151	'''Karadoc:''' The stemian part.\
152	'''Perceval:''' Whose tip can be considered punty.\
153	'''Karadoc:''' You still following, sire?
154	* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS15E6 Schooled in Murder]]", the first VictimOfTheWeek is pinned beneath a set of shelves and has a large wheel of cheese dropped on her head.

156	** The sketch "Self-defence against fresh fruit" must fit somewhere.
157	-->'''DrillSergeantNasty:''' Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against the banana fiend. First of all, you force him to drop the banana, next, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him helpless.
158	** The Fish-Slapping Dance. Light slaps to the cheek with mackerel (or some similarly sized fish) are replied to with the piscine equivalent of a truncheon, knocking Creator/MichaelPalin straight into the river. No-one actually eats any of the fish, but they ''could'' have.
159	* In an episode of ''Series/MurderSheWrote'', a frozen fish was the murder weapon (the murder took place in a restaurant; the restaurant's accountant confronted a stealing employee and ended up using the fish in self-defense). And yes, [[EatTheEvidence it got eaten]], but not intentionally.
160	* ''Series/MyLifeIsMurder'': In "Can't Stand the Heat", the killer smashes the VictimOfTheWeek's head in with a frozen chicken in the kitchen of a cooking school.

164	* ''Series/TheThinBlueLine'': Patricia hits Raymond on the head with a huge fish. Just before he faints, Raymond comments that it was a good thing they were not about to eat a leg of lamb.
165	* Perhaps inspired by the "Lamb to the Slaughter" example in the Literature section above. There was an episode of ''Series/{{Wings}}'' where Brian was staying for a short time a Fey's house. While there he was watching an "America's Most Wanted" TV show and saw a story about a woman who years before took in boarders then murdered them. One such was beaten to death with a frozen leg of lamb. The aged composite photo shown looked very much like Fey and Brian spent the rest of the episode convinced that she was a murderer who was now out to get him for discovering her secret. She even had a leg of lamb in the freezer that was "for him", and ends up accidentally flooring Joe with it during the climax.
166	* ''Series/{{Wishbone}}'': In "[[Recap/WishboneS1E05HomerSweetHomer Homer Sweet Homer]]," the ''[[Literature/TheOdyssey Odyssey]]'' episode, Odysseus's son uses a large ham as a club while driving the freeloading suitors out of Odysseus's home.

192	* ''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]].

194	* ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5'' has the Icecream Sandwich and Dog Sausage, a pair of cat toys for [=NoLegs=].

All of them are pretty weak, barely stronger than Iron weapons, but they can actually be eaten, consuming the weapon and healing the wielder.
199	* ''VideoGame/Gobliins2'': The protagonists need to steal a rich man's sausage (specifically, a ''saucisson''). The owner will smack them strongly with that very sausage if they try to steal it openly, and later, they use it to hit a chicken over the head to make it lay an egg.

207	* ''VideoGame/PhantomBrave'': Bread and fish are among the items you can use as weapons.
208	* ''VideoGame/PirateHunter'': Fat pirate mooks carry large legs of roast as bludgeoning weapons, which can somehow do the same damage as sword-slashes.
209	* ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'' has several examples, including [[VideoGame/MediEvil Sir Daniel]] tossing a drumstick of chicken at his enemies, [[VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet Sackboy]] launching a cupcake as a projectile weapon, and the sturgeon from the market scene in ''VideoGame/Uncharted3DrakesDeception'' being used as an item pick-up.
210	* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': 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.''

215	* ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'': Joachim in ''[[VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant Covenant]]'' can pick up a tuna as a bludgeon, while Frank in ''[[VideoGame/ShadowHeartsFromTheNewWorld From the New World]]'' can add a hilt to a swordfish or a shish-kebab to use them as "ninja swords".
216	* ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'': Bacchus carries a leg of lamb that he wields like a club.
217	* ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': Several of the {{Joke Weapon}}s are foods, such as shishkebabs and a giant sausage.
218	* ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'':
219	** ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998'': The Big Gnorcs in Dark Hollow wield gigantic drumsticks like clubs, which they can be seen to chew on when Spyro isn't in aggro range.
220	** ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'': Crush's club is actually some animal's drumstick, as he can be seen sometimes biting it.
221	** ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'': Big rhynocs in Sunny Villa use giant chicken drumsticks as clubs.
222	* ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage4'': The ''Mr. X Nightmare'' update has a giant durian to beat enemies with, found right before the fight with Goro in stage 6.
223	* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
224	** ''Tales of [[VideoGame/TalesOfZestiria Zestiria]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria Berseria]]'' has the [[{{Superboss}} Dark Turtlez]], who {{Dual Wield\|ing}}s fishes. It's used to parody a couple of dual blade wielders from ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'', with whom he shares the moveset, and makes a [[MythologyGag reference]] to in his introduction cutscenes.
225	** ''VideoGame/TalesOfArise'' has a giant carrot as a JokeWeapon for Alphen. It has the second-lowest attack in the game, but an insanely high Penetration, allowing it to [[LethalJokeItem reliably stagger enemy with almost every hit]].
226	* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
227	** The Scout has a mackerel wrapped in newspaper. He also has a candy cane -- the description notes that while it's not practical, it sure is humiliating.
228	** {{Subverted\|Trope}} with the Pyro's Lollichop, which looks like a lollipop to... [[AmbiguousGender them]][[note]]plus anyone who's wearing Pyroland Goggles[[/note]], but is actually an axe.
229	** The Ham Shank promotional item for ''VideoGame/DontStarve'' is a whole ham that's held by a bone at one end, just like the Ham Bat. It works as a reskin of the stock melee weapon for all classes except Engineer and Spy.
230	* ''VideoGame/TheWarriors'' have certain levels that have various foods (donuts, ice cream, raw chicken, etc) can be used as projectile weapons in the same way as bricks and bottles. The foods can also be used to smash your target in the face with if you're in melee range.
231	* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': There are several weapons that look like food items. They tend to be quest items rather than actually good, so most players don't walk around with them for long. 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.
232	* ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'':
233	** One of Adachi's weapons for his Detective job is the Rock-Hard Kielbasa, which gets pressed into service as a fairly high-damage baton.
234	** One of Idol job's weapons is "Bastard Soda", which is a large ice cream, that deals Blunt[=/=]Ice damage. Since elemental weapons are rare in this game, and Idol is a very good healing {{Job\|System}}, it's likely that [[LethalJokeItem you'll use it throughout the entire game]].
235	** Eri can learn the Senbei Chop, which involves pulling a rice cracker from {{Hammerspace}} and breaking it over an enemy's head.

238	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
239	* In ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', one of the possible {{Improvised Weapon}}s that can be used in a fight is an eel pie the characters use to whack the other battler. It isn't very good, though, and after each attack, it has a random probability of bending in half, which weakens its damage potential for the rest of the match even further.

242	[[folder:Web Animation]]
243	* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': The FoodFight in episode 1 of Volume 2 has food such as breadsticks, turkeys, [[XOnAStick watermelon on a stick]], sausage links, leeks, etc. used as weapons by Team RWBY and Team JNPR. Also overlaps with EdibleAmmunition.

It promptly is used against the Jäger. Other implements include a barrel of pickled herrings and a jar of olives. BilingualBonus too: "schlogn" is Yiddish for "hit".
248	* In ''Webcomic/{{Insecticomics}}'', Prowl tells a class of would-be ninjas that anything can be used as a weapon; smart-ass Lazorbeak picks a six-foot party sub. Prowl promptly assembles one and takes her down with it.

253	* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': Jester's Spiritual Weapon takes the form of a spectral, pink lollipop that's about as large as she is. When cast at higher levels, it gets serrated edges.
254	* Since the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' takes place in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', a fair amount of in-game mechanics apply to the series as well, e.g. ''[[ImprovisedWeapon any item]]'' can theoretically be used as a weapon, including foods.
255	** This has resulted in an infamous incident during the lockdown of [[TheAlcatraz Pandora's Vault]], where [[spoiler:Dream uses a raw potato to give Tommy, who was visiting him, a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, [[KilledOffForReal taking his third canon life]] (though he gets brought BackFromTheDead later)]].
256	** The aforementioned incident is implied to be [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty flipped back around]] on [[spoiler:Dream]], as [[spoiler:one of the [[ColdBloodedTorture torture implements]] Quackity uses on him is shown to be [[KnightTemplarBigBrother a raw]] [[CallBack potato]]]].
257	* One variation of the [[Quotes/KatanasAreJustBetter Katanas are Underpowered in d20 Modern]] copypasta is that [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Katanas_are_Underpowered_in_d20#Quiches_are_underpowered_in_GURPS Quiches are underpowered in]] TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}.
258	* ''WebVideo/StampysLovelyWorld'':
259	** The minigame 'Broth Brawl' involves knocking people into the "broth" (water) with pieces of food, which includes and is not limited to potatoes, carrots, [[ShamuFu fish]], mushrooms and [[BaguetteBeatdown loaves of bread]].
260	** In Episode 450, "Fizzylympics", one of the events in the eponymous tournament is knocking competitors into the sea with cookies, much like in 'Broth Brawl'.

With this in mind, the weapon he finally chooses is a sausage.
266	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', Joker sets up an ambush for a vigilante targeting super-villains. His henchmen are armed with pies. Granted it's silly, but since this is the Joker we're talking about, chances are they aren't safe for consumption.
267	* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': Harley Quinn once knocked out a thug with a cod. While telling him to grab his own hostage.
268	* Broadway smacks someone with a drumstick he pulled off of a cooked animal in an earlier ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' episode.
269	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' had [[MadScientist Dr. Doofenshmirtz]] and Perry dueling with hotdogs and bratwursts. Doubles as a homage to ''Franchise/StarWars''.
270	* ''WesternAnimation/RocketRobinHood'' featured fight scenes in which a hambone and a sack of flour would be used as weapons.
271	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
272	** Bart once tormented Principal Skinner with peanuts (Skinner has a peanut allergy). Skinner eventually retaliates when he discovers that Bart is allergic to shrimp. They end up fencing each other, with Bart wielding a peanut on a stick and Skinner wielding a shrimp on a stick (as if they were lightsabers, complete with ''Duel of the Fates'' playing). [[spoiler: They both wind up falling into a vat full of peanut shrimp.]]
273	** The Season 29 premier HighFantasy episode "The Serfsons" has Homer convince the peasants to revolt against the rich. Everyone takes up the nearest weapon they can find.

274	* An episode from the 90s cartoon adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|1987}}'' involves a battle between the heroes and the Shredder in the kitchen of a pizza parlor. HilarityEnsues.
