So a character relishes the outcomes of their evil actions. Maybe they stew in their own evil juices. Perhaps they are the kind that has a menu of dastardly deeds to choose from, or maybe they've just got a select few on speed dial to take-out.
I'm hungry. We got anything eeeeeevil to eat? Yes, Reptiles Are Abhorrent, but that's just for a pet. Or my Final Form. There's no evil animals? Damn, I'll have to do the next best thing: eat something that makes me more evil for even thinking it.
Bad people thus eat the meat of exotic animals, especially those that are endangered. The concept is generally that they are so heartless, they would help a species go extinct or sink their teeth into something that's generally considered a rare beauty when they could just as easily get some chips. Fridge Logic issues as to how they'd know how to cook an exotic animal they'd never tried before, or that it wouldn't taste like crap, seldom come up.
Or maybe not necessarily something endangered: perhaps the animal in question is just generally regarded as beautiful or adorable (a Right-Hand Cat may fall victim into this, especially if they lost their usefulness). Alternatively, the dish to prepare it requires some form of twisted, sadistic torture and suffering to the animal, that the very idea of eating such a dish comes off as downright evil.
Since different cultures and ethnic groups have different food cultures and food taboos, this trope is often invoked in propaganda to either lampoon or demonize opposing groups.
Overlaps quite nicely with the Evil Poacher, and is often the meal of the Card-Carrying Villain. Asians Eat Pets often overlaps when Asians are depicted as evil for eating animals that are commonly household companions. For the clothing equivalent, see Fur and Loathing. If the exotic animals are consumed because they get people high and/or confer special powers to the eater, that's Monster Organ Trafficking. For similarly evil cases, see Sapient Eat Sapient, To Serve Man, and I'm a Humanitarian. Related to Haute Cuisine Is Weird.

Divinity: Original Sin II: The Dreaded Mad Doctor of Arx (who's actually a Meat Puppet for an arch-demon) eats fish that have been tainted by Void, the corruptive force that empowers the game's villains. Normally, Void-tainted meat is poisonous for mortals, and Void exposure can mutate wildlife into malignant monsters rather than kill it outright.

In the Angel episode "Unleashed", the villains are a club who like to dine on werewolves. Note that every werewolf is a human with a curse, and the curse dissipates (returning the werewolf to human form) when the werewolf dies. So they have to eat them alive.

The Simpsons:
The episode "The Fat and the Furriest" had as the Villain of the Week an Egomaniac Hunter that showcased how little he cared about nature by suddenly shooting down a condor, catching it between two slices of bread, and eating it all for a quick snack with a blissful look on his face. Later in the episode, he pulled a similar reaction to Homer imagining food at the thought of eating condor eggs.
In “Homie the Clownâ€�, Krusty the Clown has apparently eaten enough condor egg omelettes that he decides he should cut back on them to save some money due to prior reckless spending — but even thinking about those omelettes is enough to make him immediately want several more. In “Marge Gets a Jobâ€�, he swipes and eats a raw egg from a hawk on-air, causing said hawk to immediately attack him.

Prehistoric Park: Returned from Extinction: Inverted in Chapter 171 when Elise and Sean eat a red lionfish to help the environment (Red Lionfish are native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but have become an invasive species in the Caribbean, where the story takes place). There is a campaign in Real Life to do this, since the venomous fish have few predators and can have their spines removed to make them edible.

Hannibal:
In "Ko No Mono", Hannibal and Will eat ortolan (a protected species, prepared by drowning the live bird in brandy before roasting) while discussing their shared Humanitarian interests.
Hannibal occasionally uses these as a creative break from feeding people exquisitely prepared human flesh. In one case, he treats a man to escargot... made from snails that he'd fattened on meat from the man's own arm.

Ben 10: Alien Force has an episode where Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are asked to transport an alien baby to an enemy planet as a peace offering. It turns out the enemy leader just wanted the baby to be part of a dish he was preparing. Ben, who is currently stuck in the form of an alien with anger issues, gets so mad when he finds this out that he dives into the villain's mouth to retrieve the baby from his stomach and then threatens to tie his intestines into knots.

Dungeons & Dragons
One supplement full of many very short adventures included one in which the source of steaks being served at a newly-popular inn turns out to be either unicorns or purple worms, depending on the DM's preferences. The latter aren't sentient, but they were "harvested" by sawing segments off the rear ends of still-living worms.
Late in the 3rd edition adventure path Age of Worms, the party finds itself having to attend a feast held by Prince Zeech, where the main course is two roast centaur zombies (for context, zombies aren't sapient, but the magic animating them is inherently evil, and the centaurs that were killed and reanimated were most definitely intelligent beings and very likely good-aligned).

In the film The Freshman (1990) with Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando, the evil, jaded rich people regularly dined on endangered animals as a thrill. Or at least, they thought what they were eating were endangered animals; turns out that although the exotic creatures are displayed alive before the diners prior to each banquet, it's plain ol' chicken that actually gets cooked.

Not as bad as most examples, as the Nightside is a nexus for hundreds of alternate and fantastic worlds, so Rick can presumably procure his meats from worlds where the animals in question are abundant.

Futurama:
Just to show how messed up the future is, some animals not considered food today, are eaten regularly, like parrots. Not dolphins though, since they're intelligent. Unless they blow all their money on lottery tickets, then it's OK.
It should be noted beverages made from humans are also prominent, which shouldn't be surprising given the number of suicide booths there are. And then there's the Executive Powder.
Human noses are apparently both an exotic treat and an aphrodisiac. This trope was invoked during an in-universe news report. However, it turns out that the reason why they went for the nose was that the aliens thought the noses were the genitals.

Oddworld: Corrupt Corporate Executives have mass-produced such tasty treats as Meech Munchies, discontinued due to the Meeches going extinct, and Gabbiar, made from the eggs of the all-but-extinct Gabbits.

Fate/Grand Order: Played for pragmatism rather than horror by Cu Chulainn (Lancer)'s interlude quest. On a mission to hunt a wild boar that's been ravaging farms, you find that it's been eaten by a chimera which attacks you next. Once you dispatch the chimera, Lancer suggests butchering it, since meat is meat. After the meal is over, he realizes that he doesn't know what animals comprise this chimera, so he may have unwittingly eaten dog.

One The Destroyer book featured an authentic dinosaur. The Corrupt Corporate Executive who organized its capture and transport to America planned to use it for an "Authentic dino burger" marketing scheme. Admittedly the majority of the "authentic" burgers would be fake, but they did honestly plan to make processed meat out of the zoological find of the century. Remo killed them.

Shadowrun: The supplement Runner Havens has a restaurant in Seattle called the Peaceable Kingdom. The front of the house is a high-quality Chinese restaurant, but if you know the right people and have the money, the back of the house serves fine dishes made exclusively with endangered species (including some magical ones). They're very good at catching would-be whistleblowers, whose leftovers are swapped with perfectly mundane ones before they can have them analyzed.

In the Narnia book The Silver Chair, it is discovered that the venison served at the table of the "Friendly Giants" came from a Talking Stag. The author notes that for anyone of Narnian culture, this is the equivalent of cannibalism. If that weren't enough, the characters later find out they are on the menu for the following night.

In Oryx and Crake and the companion novel The Year of the Flood, there is a restaurant called Rarity which is supposedly named that because they have the right sanitary practices to serve rare meat, but in fact have a back-room business in the meat of endangered or extinct animals.

By the time of the The Legend of Korra, the Earth Kingdom nobility have become fond of dining on rare animal meats - including veal made from baby Sky Bison. It is even rumored (and confirmed in the DVD commentaries) that the Earth Queen had her father's pet bear cooked and served as a meal. This symbolises the decadence the Earth Kingdom has slipped into under Hou-Ting.

Dune (1984) has an inexplicable throwaway scene of Rabban crushing a live mouse in a small device and then drinking the resulting mess with a straw. Yes, the man is generally referred to as "The Beast Rabban", but still.... subtle, Lynch.

In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the guests at Pankot Palace are served strange delicacies, such as live snakes, insects, eyeballs, and monkey brains. This is somewhat foreshadowing the fact that most people in the palace (save for Indy and his sidekicks) are members of the Thuggee cult.
