Evil doesn't just feel good, it also tastes good. Any Evil Overlord worth their cape will often describe their past evil deeds, current plot, or last kill with taste-related adjectives like "Delicious", "Sweet" or "Juicy", and their urge to do evil as a "Thirst", "Craving" or "Hunger". The Seven Deadly Sins describe materialism and overindulging in earthly pleasures as sinful and wrong, and out of the seven deadlies Gluttony is one of the least glamorous. So when villains use taste to describe evil you just know there's something creepy and ugly about them, no matter how attractive they are. For much the same reasons Lust is why Evil Feels Good, and most villains like to describe their power in tactile and addictive terms like "Strong", "Smooth", and "Intoxicating". This might explain why some villains get Drunk on the Dark Side. Extra points if they happen to be a cannibal, Serial Killer, vampire, werewolf, zombie, alien, or Emotion Eater. (Or all of them...) Although, there have been times when someone - or something - taking this Trope too literally, they find that Evil often doesn't taste very good at all. (In fact, some evil creatures taste downright awful.) See also: Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious, Exotic Entree, Finger-Lickin' Evil, Lecherous Licking, You Taste Delicious, Horror Hunger, Licking the Blade and A Glass of Chianti. Contrast Being Evil Sucks. Combine with Delicious Distraction for humorous (or horrifying) results. (Usually) not to be confused with Villainous Glutton or I'm a Humanitarian. |

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" is often attributed to the 1782 French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos (the inspiration for Cruel Intentions mentioned above). This, however, is not true; the possibly first use of the phrase occurs in another French novel, Mathilde by Eugène Sue (1841). The line was famously said in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; this particular usage has been parodied or referenced many times since: In an episode of Freakazoid! a villain, voiced by Ricardo Montalban himself, proclaims that "Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins." At the beginning of Kill Bill this quote is attributed as "an old Klingon Proverb." Parodied on The Simpsons by Sideshow Bob: "Revenge is a dish best served family style!" From the series premiere of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002): From David Gerrold's character "Solomon Short": "Revenge is a dish best served lightly browned with a side of carrots. And maybe with some fava beans and a light Chianti." At the start of chapter 21 of Sandy Mitchell's Ciaphas Cain novel The Traitors Hand: Parodied yet another way in Get Fuzzy, where Bucky uses this line on Satchel. To which he replies: "Like gazpacho!" Kaamelott: Premier Volet: Perceval mangles the expression into "Patience is a dish served without sauce". |

Sylar in Heroes occasionally describes his acquisition of powers in culinary terms, talking about his "hunger" to "consume" or "sink his teeth into" the "delicious" powers of others. Originally there was widespread fan speculation that he stole superpowers by eating the brains of superhumans, but even after the whole "brain eating" thing was explicitly Jossed, the characters continue to refer to Sylar's desire for power as a "hunger" and his process of taking the powers of others as "feeding". Potential victims (the Level 5 Villains) are referred to as a "smorgasboard" and a "buffet". | |

Zannies of Market of Monsters survive by eating pain. When they get near someone in severe enough pain to satisfy their hunger, they react like someone getting high. Whether they enjoy causing people pain or not, getting near it feels undeniably physically great! | |

Magnetite across the Shin Megami Tensei series, Magatsuhi in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and Red Pills in Shin Megami Tensei IV are all Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious foodstuffs demons just love, even more than human flesh. The manufacturing process, however, unless like Raidou Kuzunoha, you use your own, is pure Nightmare Fuel and most often earns a crossing of the Moral Event Horizon. | |

Parodied in Tentai Senshi Sunred. 'Big Bad' Vamp often involves food in his speeches, because cooking is his hobby (he's actually a very good cook, according to his 'mortal nemesis' Sunred). He is liable to fill awkward moments by talking about cooking, and the anime gave him his own cooking segments. | |

In Homestuck, one of the first few trolls introduced, Terezi/gallowsCalibrator, frequently uses taste- and smell-related adjectives to describe things. The trope is subverted, however, when it is revealed that she does this not because she's evil, but because she's blind and experiences the world around her through taste and smell. | |

The Order of the Stick: Sabine clearly enjoys this trope in this strip, where she drains Roy's life-energy. She says it has a deep woodsy flavour, with a hint of sage and no bitter after-taste. She adds, "Four stars! I'll have to recommend dining on you to all my fiendish friends!" Later parodied: Two hobgoblins tell a rookie at the granary that they whip the human slaves so that their cries of pain will make the food they're carrying taste more evil... then tell him they're just joking. The undead continue to embrace this trope, however. In this strip, a wight drains the levels from one of Haley's followers and comments that it was "delicious, but the portion was too small." Then his buddy spots Haley. And in this strip, the voices in V's head like the trope as well. And brain sucking has all kinds of tastes! Also subverted: in the prequel book Start of Darkness, a pre-lich Xykon goes on about his... strange relationship with bad coffee. The first thing he and his minions do after he's been turned into a lich and escaped his confinement is return to the old Greasy Spoon... only for him to find he can no longer taste anything. He flips out. |

Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Android 21 is essentially a refinement of Cell with the addition of genetic material from Majin Buu. Cell already ate people to get stronger; this combined with Buu's Big Eater and Sweet Tooth traits (plus his ability to turn people into candy) gives 21 a Horror Hunger that drives her to turn strong warriors into candy and then eat them (not helping matters is that she was programmed to receive extreme pleasure feedback from doing so). This instinct is so strong and so deeply against Android 21's true kindhearted nature that it creates a split personality (eventually an Enemy Without) that overwhelmed her good side and was solely focused on satiating her hunger. | |

Both Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Requiem describe drinking blood as both sensual and delicious, the best and only rush vampires have left. From the Masquerade revised core book: Also, in both game lines vampires can devour the soul of another vampire, which aside from giving them more power, and being even worse than cannibalism, tastes/feels better than drinking blood. It's also addictive. |

In The Bliss Bakery, all magical bakers can make baked goods taste heavenly. The evil ones use this for evil purposes. In the first novel, aunt Lily bakes for the children, and it turns out the (delicious) food makes them unable to tell or otherwise inform their parents about her "visit". | |

Parodied and subverted in the Teen Titans (2003) episode "Fear Itself". When Control Freak turns candy into monsters, Cyborg decides to get rid of them by eating them and proclaims "Never knew evil tasted so good!" Then he suddenly gets sick from it and throws up, and is still sick in the next scene when Beast Boy starts to show the rental movie. | |

Done to humorous effect at the 2002 Royal Rumble: The Undertaker (this being just before his final Heel–Face Turn), having cleared the ring of everyone else, is suddenly and unexpectedly eliminated by Maven when he gets overconfident. 'Taker gets extremely pissed and spends the next several minutes dealing a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to Maven, which goes on so long that - hilariously - the Royal Rumble Match actually stops dead so the TV camera can follow 'Taker and Maven as they brawl right up through the crowd and into the hallway leading to the arena, finally ending with 'Taker shoving Maven head-first through an old-fashioned popcorn cart, then scooping up some of the spilled popcorn and casually eating it. | |

In the Kim Possible episode "Odds Man In", Dr Drakken uses a chain of gourmet cupcake shops to disguise his new strategically placed lairs, much to the shock and disappointment of the heroes, who had been eating them throughout the episode (however, Drakken had gotten sidetracked at that point and was more interested in running the cupcake shops than world conquest, much to Shego's frustration). In another episode, he intends to brainwash the American military by putting mind-control serum in their sandwiches. | |

This is the plot of the horror movie The Stuff, which revolves around a mysterious white substance, similar to ice cream, which is found underground. People discover that the Stuff is incredibly tasty and addictive, and virtually free of fat. Unfortunately, it turns out that the Stuff is NOT organic, but actually a kind of hive mind parasite. The Stuff isn't digested, but builds up in the eater's body, until enough is present to turn the eater into a Technically-Living Zombie. | |

This is apparently the case in the Batman Vampire trilogy, and is specifically brought up in the second part, Bloodstorm. A newly risen vampire, a mob boss who says that he couldn't stand the sight of blood when he was alive, goes on a rant about how now there's nothing more alluring in the world. When Batman himself finally succumbs to bloodthirst and drains the Joker, this turns out to be true. | |

In Lucifer Hell produces a highly addictive drug called Pain, which is distilled from the suffering of the damned (specifically it is masochistic suffering as Lucifer notes early on that all the people in Hell are there because they feel the need to be punished). Exactly what it tastes like is never elaborated on but it is highly addictive. When the damned are given hope the taste is spoiled. | |

In Stargate Atlantis, the Wraith need to drain life energy from others in order to survive. Whether this is evil is up for debate; they have to do so in order to survive, after all. But there's no mistaking the almost rapturous joy that the Wraith experience while draining others, as well as the incredible pain that their victims go through. (The process is so traumatic that the Wraith actually have to strengthen their victims using a special chemical in order to prevent them from dying instantly of shock.) Most Wraith are also very malicious and sadistic, so they probably qualify as an example of the trope. Worth noting is one of Todd's lines in a recent episode. While offering the Atlantis crew some food they picked up during a culling, he mentions he hopes the fruits "taste as good as the farmers who grew them." An early episode had an unusually droll Wraith comment that "Unfortunately, your last chef proved far more appetizing than the meals he prepared." Although he was a single episode baddie, after a season or so some of the ideas behind that character evolved into the character of Todd. | |

Richard from Looking for Group LFG once drained the soul of a monk. "It tasted like chocolate," he said. | |

Juri Han, introduced in Street Fighter IV, lives for the Interplay of Sex and Violence. She often describes how "tasty" someone would be to brutally beat to near death, describing M. Bison as her "dessert" to "eat up". The connection between violence and taste is so strong in her that licking her lips in anticipation for carnage is a Character Tic. | |

Street Fighter: Juri Han, introduced in Street Fighter IV, lives for the Interplay of Sex and Violence. She often describes how "tasty" someone would be to brutally beat to near death, describing M. Bison as her "dessert" to "eat up". The connection between violence and taste is so strong in her that licking her lips in anticipation for carnage is a Character Tic. On seeing his minions fight to death, M. Bison in Street Fighter V refers it as this: "This is delicious entertainment!" |

In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Edmund finds his first quite literal taste of evil very good, specifically of the White Witch's Turkish delight. It soon not only tastes less good but is actually kind of nauseating... but it's so hard to stop. | |

Buffyverse: At various points in Buffy and Angel, vampires like Drusilla would liken the taste of someone's blood to "cloves and honey", and life force draining warlocks would say it Tastes Like Strawberries. And Glory described a mind she had eaten as a "nummy treat". Spike even goes as far as referring to humans as "Happy Meals with legs". On the other hand, when asked what evil itself tasted like, Willow made a face and described it as "a little chalky." The First Evil: "Choose a side. Our side. You know it's delicious." And in "You're Welcome", Spike bites someone to see if they're evil from the taste of their blood, explaining that "Demons are more astringent with a sort of oaky..." |

Gargamel wanted to eat the Smurfs, expounding at length about their succulence, despite having never eaten one before. Or turn them to gold, he's never been all that clear on his motivation. Robot Chicken did a sketch in which a flashflood killed all the Smurfs, who were then picked up by Gargamel. He cooked them and ate a bite with great anticipation, before realizing they tasted horrible, lamenting the years he had wasted hunting them, and ordering Chinese food. |

Would iliaster, from Infernum, count? This is the spiritual essence of a soul, physically torn away and polluted with anguish and suffering, and demons must consume it to survive. Iliaster is also used for things like engine fuel and the basis for medicines. Basic iliaster, called plasm, is actually noted as "crude, tasteless and unsatisfying" — demons who can afford it prefer to soak meat and, occasionally, vegetables (best not look too closely at either) in the stuff to add some more flavor and texture. Strain, iliaster generated from souls forced to labor on through exhaustion, apparently tastes better (though it's only as "nutritious" as plasm), but is mainly used as the demon equivalent of petrol. Agony, generated from souls kept conscious despite intense physical pain, is very potent (five times stronger than an equivalent dose of plasm) and is generally regarded as the wine of Hell. Sorrow, produced through psychological pain, is twice as nutritious as Agony and is the closest thing demons have to sacramental. | |
