* The first time you meet recurring character Clara Lost in ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'', she's in such a plight. In the world Tribalstack Tropics, she's being held inside a large pot (also sentient, his name is [[PunnyName Potty Mouth]]), and she asks you to dispatch the "natives". The "natives" in question are [[{{Mooks}} monsters]], which helps avoid the UnfortunateImplications the trope often carries. Amusingly, Clara Lost is ''[[DemBones a sentient skeleton]]'', so it begs the question of just ''what'' part of her they want to eat.

* ''Literature/{{Spellsinger}}'': This is pretty much a OncePerEpisode event in the novels starting with ''Day of the Dissonance.'' Usually, this involves Jon-Tom, Mudge, and the temporary companion of the story being captured by a CannibalClan and Jon-Tom using spellsinging to let them escape, but in ''Time of the Transference'' (where it happened twice) they escape the first time by [[ItMakesSenseInContext given an acrophobic pegasus cocaine]] and the second time by Jon-Tom introducing the concept of feminism to the women of the tribe and convincing them that they didn't have to do what the men of the tribe told them to do. ''Son of Spellsinger'' featured a variation in that the protagonists get captured by a group of desert dwellers who don't directly eat the people they capture, they use them as fertilizer for their crops.

* ''Videogame/Bureaucracy'', a text adventure by Creator/DouglasAdams, has the player character parachute out of a doomed airplane and land inside a stewpot. If you don't have the right inventory items, the not-as-primitive-as-they-look natives "invite you for dinner" in front of a large group of drunk foreign journalists wearing safari gear.

* In [[http://thehorrorsofitall.blogspot.com/2019/11/nothing-he-couldnt-do.html one old horror comic]] (in ''the Thing'' #16), a group of mostly anti-heroic types, except for one guy who's really smart and inventive, crash on an island with a CannibalTribe who promptly confine them, except for the smart guy. The leader says that they'll have plenty of time to come up with an escape plan, since in this tropical climate, the cannibals won't cook more than one of them at a time so they won't spoil. But then later, they drag all three of the others out and start boiling them, since the smart guy had taught them [[spoiler: how to can meat.]]
