Eat the Evidence	comment	Done something unspeakable with something edible? Then there's only one way to destroy the evidence: eat it, or at least make someone else do it. Eating Solves Everything after all. Often played for laughs, especially if the evidence is something that no-one would normally consider edible. If the evidence is a human body, things become rather more morally awkward, and may result in the body being Fed to Pigs instead. Sister-trope to Swallow the Key. May induce I Ate WHAT?! afterward. Not to be confused with Feed the Mole.

Eat the Evidence / int_12300cc3	comment	In Watchmen, when a kidnapper realizes he abducted the wrong little girl and her parents won't be able to pay the ransom, he kills her and feeds her remains to his German shepherds to get rid of the evidence. When Rorschach realizes this, he snaps and burns the kidnapper alive. It was a defining moment in his life, and he never recovered from the psychological trauma.

Eat the Evidence / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: When Kodachi gets a photo of a Not What It Looks Like scene between her and Ranma, she makes hundreds of copies and scatters them everywhere. Ranma proceeds to catch and eat them all. But the ultimate example is the "Ukyo's Secret Sauce" story where, when confessing that he (accidentally) ruined Ukyo's personal sauce that she has been aging for ten years failed to cause the whole mess to subside (Ukyo jumped to the conclusion that Akane forced Ranma to claim it, so it made things worse), Ranma gulps down the whole cask, and almost dies from it. Note that this was less to hide how terrible it tasted from her (she was the first person to find out), but more from desperation to return things to the way they were, so that he wouldn't have to reveal whether he loved Akane or Ukyo better. Before that, he devoured every okonomiyaki that Ukyo made with it, but that was to protect her from eating them out of pride, and potentially making herself terribly sick.

When the guard returns, Bart claims he can't be held accountable without evidence — then sees himself in a mirror and realizes there's chocolate smeared over his face and hands. The episode "Tales from the Public Domain" has the kids being read various historical stories. When they get to the end of the tale of Joan of Arc, Marge interrupts just before the burning, makes up a Happily Ever After ending, then tears out the last page and eats it, remarking "It's easier to swallow than that Bambi tape." In "Bart Vs Australia", a diplomat accidentally shows the Simpsons a slide about the US government's plan B for Cuba. Realizing his mistake, the diplomat eats the slide.

Lyle promises to eat the note, but Zeb makes sure to give him an identical piece of paper, this one with a gambling system written on it, as the complete disappearance of the note would have been doubly suspicious.

When the general sends out MPs to track down the missing beef, they arrive at the camp just as the Colonel is about to start carving the roast. He deals with the MPs by inviting them to join the unit for dinner, after which they can honestly report back that there was no beef in the camp. In the episode "That Darn Kid", Klinger bought a goat, with the intention of making money by selling the goat's milk. During an OR session, the goat chewed through the rope it was tied to and ate the payroll money, for which Hawkeye (as that month's paymaster) was responsible. An investigator comes to look into the problem and refuses to believe their story - until he goes back to his tent to find the goat eating a report he was working on. In the first episode he appeared in, Col. Flagg revealed to Col. Blake that he doesn't know the phone number of his headquarters. The phone number is in a capsule he swallowed and he must regurgitate it in order to make the call.

Eat the Evidence / int_edc3d6b	comment	Kiwami Japan often makes knives out of food materials, so this sometimes comes up: The video on the knife made out of pasta quite literally ends on this trope: he cooks the knife and eats it. While we don't actually see it happen, the ending of the rice knife video implies this due to it ending on Kiwami putting it into a steamer. The Fake Egg knife video mentions at several points that you can eat the ingredients (a gel made from sodium alginate, beta carotene and food colouring, amongst others) at any point during the process, even once the knife is finished! The gelatin knife video ends with him melting down the knife and returning the gelatin to its single-serving pouches.

Eat the Evidence / int_f36a428d	comment	In the story Eight Skilled Gentlemen by Barry Hughart, the heroes have killed a henchman of their enemy, but cannot get out of his castle to hide the body. They can get into the kitchen, however, so they cook every single part of him and put the food among that prepared for a banquet. Number Ten Ox is squicked by it all, but Master Li Kao gets really enthusiastic about making the food good (so the lord of the castle won't start asking questions to the kitchen staff), and we get a really good description of how to cook a man.

Eat the Evidence / int_f8e2ac62	comment	The excellent German short film Schwarzfahrer has an extremely racist old lady sitting next to a black guy on a tram. She goes on and on about how horrible blacks and others are ("...They should at least have their names changed when they come over here, or else you can't tell them apart at all. What's more, they smell awful. But there is no law against that!"). When the conductor comes to check tickets, the black man reaches over and eats hers. She's hysterical when the conductor arrives ("That nigger just ate my tickets"), and he naturally doesn't believe her obviously racist story ("That's the stupidest excuse I have ever heard!"), so he takes her off the tram. None of the other passengers, who were silently listening to her antics, intervene.

Having won a fortune playing the Deadly Game, the protagonist sends it off to his family by parcel post, then eats the receipt when he sees the police approaching him so it won't be tracked down and confiscated as evidence.
