* ''VideoGame/LegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': The captured Gorons Link rescues from the Fire Temple are found huddled and shaking with fear in their cells. If spoken to before releasing them, they'll beg not to be eaten by the dragon Volvagia and plead that they'd give it a stomach ache.

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

* This is a common response in the second ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' game when Adol [[BalefulPolymorph turns into a monster]]. (Ironic, since the monsters in question are harmless kangaroo-like creatures.)

In some rare cases, it's related to TooSpicyForYogSothoth and RegretEatingMe. ''Not'' the opposite of ITasteDelicious.

* Aesop had a story about a dog who was caught by a wolf and about to be eaten. The dog tells the wolf that while he was too skinny to be eaten at the moment, in a few days his master would hold a feast and give him all the scraps, and the wolf could then eat him while he was nice and fat. The wolf agreed. When he came back a few days later, he found the dog sitting on the roof of his master's house. The wolf said, "Come down, my friend, don't you remember our agreement?" The dog said, "My friend, if you ever catch me on the ground again, don't wait for any feast."

* In episode 9 of ''LightNovel/BokuWaTomodachiGaSukunai'', when Maria enters the club room, she bumps into Yozora, who's wearing a horse head mask.

Maria claims she won't taste good and has been eating vegetables, but Yozora says she doesn't mind, and says she's a vegetarian.

* In the episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' "Mudder's Day", the hero's are caught by the titanic Al Muddy Sultan, who plans to cook them. Aladdin tries to stall for time by telling him his stew is "inferior", and mentions a rare spice fit for a king that grows on the surface. The sultan is intrigued, but suspicious (as he should be) and tells Aladdin to get it ''alone''. ("They didn't make me Sultan ''only'' because I was the ''biggest''," he claims) requiring a change of plan on Aladdin's part.

* In ''Kids Praise 9: The Search For Psalty's Missing 9'', Psalty and the kids encounter a tribe of [[CannibalTribe bookibals]] who plan on eating the main character. One of the kids tries to dissuade them by pointing out Psalty's name is indicative of how he'll taste.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Wormy", Patrick sets himself up as live bait to trap a "monster" (actually Sandy's pet caterpillar, Wormy, metamorphosed into a butterfly).

* ''WesternAnimation/GummiBears''; when captured by the spider-like Spinster, Grammi comments that she's preparing the stew wrong, noting her expertise as a chef. (Gruffi almost blows the plan my noting to himself what [[LethalChef how it actually is]]) and then gives her a few suggestions that she claims will help it. Like the ''Aladdin'' case, the Spinster is intrigued, but ''not'' stupid, and walls the place off with more webbing before leaving.
