* In ''TheSilverChair'', a Talking Stag tries this and fails to avoid being eaten by [[spoiler:giants]]. The protagonists overhear them talking about the incident later, which results in an [[spoiler:AlienLunch moment of horror when they realize ''they are eating the Stag.'']]

* In ''JamesAndTheGiantPeach'', the centipede says this to the huge cloud man.

* Subverted in ''Garfield: The Movie''. When Garfield gets cornered by rats when searching for Odie, he says that he'd be too fatty for the rats to eat. Then they say...that fat's fine with them.

* In ''TheLionKing'', Zazu says this to the hyenas.

* A sketch on ''TheMuppetShow'' has Kermit, as Sindbad the Sailor, telling Sweetums that frogs taste terrible "even with lots of ketchup." To back it up, he asks his crew, "Have I ever been accused of good taste?"
* Inverted in the episode IWasATeenageWerewolf on MST3k, where they have the soon-to-be-first-victim saying "I'm probably very tasty and well-marbled. Not something I've often thought about..."

* Parodied in ''{{Recess}}''. T.J. is captured by the kindergarteners, and then Captain Sticky goes up to him and says, "[[YouNoTakeCandle You Food!]]". T.J.'s response (While trying to "communicate" with them by speaking like them), "Me? Food? No! Me taste bad! Yucky poo-poo!". It turned out they wanted to ''give'' him food.
* In one ''LooneyTunes'' cartoon, Foghorn Leghorn tries to convince Henry Hawk not to eat him because he's nothing gristle.

* From Film/DogSoldiers: "I hope I give you the ''shits''!"

* A ''FairyTail'' filler includes Happy being abducted by runaways from a dark guild who hope to eat him. What makes his use of this trope odd is that he isn't saying this to stall. He's genuinely concerned that he'll taste bad because he really has to pee.

* Ship Leesoo from ''TowerOfGod'' subverts this by telling the [[SuperPersistentPredator Bull]] he tastes delicious to protect a Mandong Whale. The Bull looks at him once and [[CrowningMomentOfFunny turns away]].
** Baam once says this to Rak on their first meeting.

* The [[TheBrothersGrimm Grimm fairy tale]] ''[[http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0122e.html The Three Billy Goats Gruff]]'' is likely the [[TropeMaker trope originator]].

* WerewolfTheApocalypse has the Merit "Bad Taste", which puts any werewolf or other monster who bites you at some disadvantage due to nausea. Unfortunately, it also means that dogs, wolves and other werewolves won't lick your face or hands, which is a problem socially.
