We're out of food. Now what? That guy in the bucket hat is looking pretty tasty. Why don't we Just Eat Gilligan - literally? This trope is the ugly side of exploration. The characters are out of food and resort to cannibalism not because they like it, but because they have no other choice. It's that or starve to death. Named for the famous example of the Donner Party, who ate the bodies of their comrades who had died of hunger in order to survive the harsh winter of 1846-47, and for the song "Ain't No Party Like an S Club Party" by S Club 7. Note that, in a real-life survival situation, this isn't all that helpful. The meat of a starving human, by definition, does not contain the necessary nutrients to support a starving human. (See fat starvation.) Also worth noting is that digesting meat requires certain vitamins that can't be replenished through meat alone, potentially leading to death by malnutrition. Compare Emergency Food Supply Animal, Reduced to Ratburgers, Too Desperate to Be Picky, Eating Shoes, Cold Equation. Contrast I'm a Humanitarian, where the character eats their fellow human out of enjoyment. When animals or monsters eat their own kind, thus demonstrating they're ravenous and/or vicious, that's Monstrous Cannibalism. Examples |

In the Adventure Time episode "Mystery Dungeon", a motley band of Ooo citizens (Ice King, the Earl of Lemongrab, NEPTR, Tree Trunks, and Shelby the worm) is trapped in a dungeon. When it looks like the group is stuck at a dead end, Lemongrab is quick to ask the Ice King how he tastes and tries to order him to "make yourself into food, immediately!" Fortunately, NEPTR points out an oven and some baking supplies in a corner of the room. | |

The Sten series has the crew of the ill-fated starship Discovery I, which suffered severe damage in an accident. First the survivors ate the dead. When they realized that wouldn't be enough to last them to the nearest inhabited planet, everyone very quickly came up with a reason they were vital to the ship's continued operation. Those who didn't come up with a reason quickly enough ended up in the soup. | |

Cooking Companions is rather coy about the concept at first; the Companions are trapped in the mountains with dwindling supplies, but it's presented as a Dating Sim with cutesy mascot characters. However, the story is a Psychological Horror at heart, and phrases such as "butter someone up" and "wind up on the chopping block" have obvious double meanings that will inevitably be examined. | |

In a very late episode in Digimon Ghost Game, the resident heroine Ruli ate a Quartzmon copy and became infected with some sort of Horror Hunger that basically drives her into eating increasingly large meals only for her to still feel that her belly is empty (the food are all transferred to the Quartzmon copy). It degenerated into her mouth and limbs mutated to resemble the Digimon who caused the incident and her going into a breakdown trying to eat her friends. As horrific and uncomfortable to watch this is, it's brief enough that she fails to do any major harm other than some property damage before she collapses out of malnutrition and is hospitalized. | |

The Walking Dead: During the journey to Washington, Rick and the other main characters are stalked by The Hunters, a group of survivors who resorted to cannibalism after running out of food, starting with their own children, and have been surviving by ambushing lone travellers or smaller groups ever since, keeping them alive as long as possible to keep the meat fresh. Their justification, that they couldn't get a grasp on hunting actual animals and had to eat something to avoid starving to death (leaving their old neighborhood behind and searching for food elsewhere like everyone else apparently never occurred to them), rings especially hollow considering that NO other characters, even the most depraved villains like Negan and The Whisperers, ever resorted to the same. The Governor technically did, but only tasted it once while feeding his zombified daughter. He didn't like it. | |

Mr. Jones (2019): One of the horror scenes witnessed by Gareth in Ukraine. Three emaciated children welcome Gareth into their home and he shares their meal, an unspecified meat. When Gareth asks what kind of meat it is, they answer with the name of their elder brother. And Gareth assumed they said their brother hunted some forest animal, which they then cooked. Later, Gareth leaves the house and finds a frozen, emaciated corpse lying outside, with some flesh carved up from his leg... Cannibalism was Truth in Television during the Holodomor. | |

Averted in The Shining, though the actual Donner Party is mentioned several times by Wendy, while she's fretting about their winter at the hotel. Once the snow falls, the pass from Sidewinder to the Overlook is completely blocked, and the family is snowed in. However, Hallorann made sure they had enough food for a year for just the three of them. | |

The Simpsons: In "King of the Hill", Homer is climbing a mountain. He finds the frozen corpse of Abe's mountaineer partner, whom Abe had tried to eat when they were snowed in back when he tried to climb the mountain. In "Simpsons Tall Tales", the story of Johnny Appleseed is retold starring Lisa as "Connie" Appleseed. The settlers decide to eat Homer once they run out of buffalo, but luckily, Connie saves the day by bringing them nutritious apples to eat — although Moe had already taken a bite out of him. In the "Treehouse of Horror XVI" segment "Survival Of The Fattest", Burns decides to start Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. Homer resorts to cannibalism after being chased for just a few hours, eating Professor Frink offscreen. "A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again" has the family trapped on a cruise ship that mistakenly believes there is a pandemic happening back on land (actually a movie Bart tricked them with, wanting to extend the family vacation due to the utter misery he and the others had been going through back home). After about 10 days out to sea, society onboard has devolved into a Lord of the Flies scenario, and one passenger freaks out because she thinks she has eaten people meat. It's never outright stated that this happened, but it's heavily implied. |

He also believes that everyone else on the ship will go to Hell for cannibalism, but he won't, any more than it's cannibalism to bite your fingernails. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Discussed. When it becomes clear that Reynir is going to be staying with the crew over the duration of the mission, the first thing on everyone's mind, including Reynir's own, is what this is going to mean for their food supply. All Reynir can really do about it is apologize and promise to not eat too much. Mikkel, the man he's apologizing to, happens to like trolling people, so his reply includes (hopefully) joking that in the worst-case scenario, they can always eat Reynir. | |

One episode of Medium opens with two men, one clean and in a suit, the other disheveled, eating in a fancy dining room. The disheveled man keeps asking what the great-tasting meat dish is and the other finally says "It's you. More specifically, it's your right leg. Go on, take a look." At this point, the man looks down to see his right leg amputated and Allison wakes up. Later on, it's revealed that both men were part of a group of Vietnam POWs who ate another soldier who was dying so they could survive. | |

An early level in The Suffering: Ties That Bind features a small Great Depression-era soup kitchen. According to the backstory and various hallucinations, the priest who ran the kitchen was so desperate to feed his starving congregation that he resorted to cooking up human corpses. Even worse, the always-hungry monsters inspired by the event now roam the area in the present. | |

In Hell's Highway, the group watches the last few minutes recorded by the camera, which shows Lucindia shooting all of their friends during a botched séance. Lucindia then turns to the camera and tells the story of a settler couple that became trapped in the valley; to try and save his wife (implied to be Lucindia), the husband killed himself so that she could consume his flesh. Her husband's body was not enough to sustain her, and in her last dying hours, the woman cursed God and prayed to the Devil for salvation, and received it in exchange for a steady stream of victims. | |

Isle of Dogs: There's a rumour that a Cannibal Clan of dogs resides on the far right side of Trash Island. However, the truth is that they only ate another dog one time, out of desperation driven by starvation, and the dog was their pack's leader, who was already unconscious from hunger. Just recalling this event fills the other dogs with shame and sorrow. | |

Count Ugolino, of Inferno, is trapped inside his own tower, and ends up eating his children. Which is why he shows up in the Inferno. The only consolation in this is that he gets to gnaw for eternity on the head of the bastard who put him there because even Hell has a sense of honor. | |

It's heavily implied by a flashback in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 that Allelujah engaged in this as a boy, during an early appearance of his evil split personality, Hallelujah. Allejuah was trapped on a ship with his fellow tykebombs, and they had no food and were starving to death. Cut to a grinning Hallejuah with blood dripping down his shirt. | |

The other well-known case of cannibalism at sea occurred in the boats from the whale-hunter Essex (which was rammed and sunk by a whale on November 20, 1820; Melville didn't make that up). Though the crew was able to pack some provisions prior to leaving their sinking ship in three small whaleboats, their food soon ran out. Following a brief stop at the unoccupied Henderson Island, the boats headed out to sea again in hopes of finding rescue, where the crew were forced to resort to cannibalism as the men began dying off. On one boat, containing four men (one of them the ship's captain, George Pollard), the situation was so dire that the men decided they couldn't wait for someone to die in order to avoid universal starvation. They chose to draw lots to determine who would die and then drew lots again to determine who the executioner would be. Only two of the three whaleboats were found by passing ships, containing five survivors. Another three men who had chosen to stay on Henderson Island were later picked up as well, for a total of eight survivors out of the 20-man crew. After the rescues, the officers in charge of the boat went back to sea and had little difficulty filling their crews, which is usually taken as a sign that their actions were accepted as necessary. Ironically, the boats took a longer way to the land (southwards and then eastwards to South America instead of Marquesas Islands lying to the west) because the sailors feared that the islands might be inhabited by cannibal tribes. | |

Parodied in Dilbert. The incompetent pilot of Dilbert's flight crashes into a mountain — the same one that he previously crashed into three times. In order to avoid frostbite, the pilot tells the passengers to beat themselves with meat tenderizers and to apply liberal amounts of Worcestershire sauce. The one person who realizes what's going on (Dogbert of course) saves them all by sending the pilot to get help from the village at the base of the mountain, via a snowball to the face. It's strongly implied since the first time, the pilot got addicted to human flesh. | |

Then, just as the lead ex-pioneer is in the middle of being horrified that they're eating the missing member of their party, the assumed roast walks up and asks if anyone's seen his cow.

Occurs in The 100 during the Time Skip between seasons 4 and 5. Trapped in a bunker with no way out and their Hydroponics Garden contaminated with a fungus that will take a year to recover from, the Wonkru survivors are confronted with this. They end up butchering those who were killed in gladiator combat (their method of dealing with lawbreakers). Worse, it gets pointed out that anyone who starves to death will be so nutrient-deprived that they won't be suitable food. Octavia ends up enforcing human consumption under the threat of death to anyone who refuses and even murders a man who doesn't want to eat his own brother. The entire process traumatizes all of Wonkru, and they dub the ordeal "The Dark Year". | |

In The Broken Earth Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin; cannibalism as a last resort during the global cataclysms known as "fifth seasons" is an accepted practice. What is not acceptable is cannibalism outside of a season. In the first installment, The Fifth Season, we learn that one group of snobby Sanzed elites earned the bad reputation they have had for over a millennium because they maintained the practice voluntarily after a Season ended. In the third installment, The Stone Sky, a group of captured raiders are offered the chance to join the community of Castrima as the comm makes their way to a refuge across an ash-covered desert with limited supplies. The smart captives promptly agree to take jobs of hard labor. The most-stupid captive mouths off at Castrima's leader. She instantly kills him. That night; Castrima has a rich stew for dinner, which everyone eats because they know they need the protein and calories to survive crossing the desert. "You don't think about the meat." |

Pretty much the exact same thing happens in the first Emberverse novel, Dies the Fire, where the sudden collapse of infrastructure (including the end of guns) leaves most people with no stockpiles of food and no ability to hunt food. Well, most food except for a certain large animal that has two legs and is easily caught... After the "Eaters" descend into active hunting, they are pretty much killed on sight and shown no quarter, even by the titular good factions. | |

Averted in SIGNALIS, a late game map has a briefing document for the Gestalt (Human) pilot of the deep space exploration Penrose class ship to use in the case of starvation situations, advising against eating their Replika co-pilot. The debrief points out that the organic components are mildly toxic, and the "blood" is actually anti-oxidant fluid that will cause sickness. The briefing instead suggests that they ask the Replika to euthanize the pilot or enter the cryopod permanently. Despite being averted in the game itself, it's an open question whether this document was drafted with foresight, or whether it was from macabre experience. | |

Grim Dawn has a series of Apocalyptic Log lore notes in the Asterkarn Road area detailing this. A caravan of migrants seeking to travel south becomes trapped when the Cult of Ch'thon closes the pass through the mountains and snow keeps them from heading back north. At first the cannibalism is incidental, eating the bodies of people who had died of other causes. Then the narrator and her husband start using their pre-teen daughter as a Honey Trap to bait men and kill them, then they eat the husband when he gets badly wounded. By the end the mother and daughter have gone utterly feral and turned into Wendigos. | |

In Dreams of Joy, the sequel to Shanghai Girls, Joy goes to visit her friends in the commune she lives in in 1950s China. She returns to see her husband and his family staring at something on the table. It's another woman's baby, which is close to death. She takes the baby back to the other woman's house and finds them at the table staring at her baby. The practice was called Swap Child, Make Food, when families would trade babies (presumably no one wants to eat their own baby) that are close to death and eat them. | |

Francine, Steve, and Haley all decide that they should eat her since she has died, but Stan holds out on moral grounds until he finds out she is an organ donor on her driver's license. After they get through eating her, the hunters dig them out, and it is revealed that it was just a "Most Dangerous Game Theme Park", and they weren't in any danger.

Cyclone (1978): Downplayed and then played straight in a progressing series of incidents. First, one of the survivors kills the only dog on the boat, because it is using up vital food and water and can be used for food and bait. After one survivor dies, there's a heated debate about the morality of cutting off a piece of his flesh for more fishing bait, since the fish will be eating the rest of his body anyway. They take some flesh for bait but only catch a shark, which is too big to reel in. Finally, when Manolo dies of his wounds, his best friend reveals that he requested the others cannibalize his body to survive. This leads to a long and tense debate about the action (such as whether they can survive without it, whether it will provoke a Jumping Off the Slippery Slope action to cannibalize more people, whether it's against the Bible, and whether it's safe). His body is cut up and dried in the sun to make jerky, which is followed by a montage of people eating (often with traumatized looks) or refusing to eat. |

Galaxy of Fear: In The Hunger, the main characters hide out on Dagobah where they encounter a small tribe that calls themselves The Children. The Children take in one of the main party's wounded red shirts for healing and claim they were forced to amputate one of his limbs. Later on, the wounded man is found to have two limbs missing and another red shirt dies mysteriously. One character almost has a bowl of the tasty-smelling stew they're cooking but stops when he notices the ring in it. It turns out that the Children are the last remains of a stranded survey team - when the team members were hit with starvation, the desperate parents fed the toddler kids the flesh of the dead until no adults were left. The children managed to survive by eating fungus and any of their own dead, and still remember the yummy taste their parents used to give them, interpreting it as an act of love. The tribe's later My God, What Have I Done? moment only serves to increase the horror. | |

Fallout 3: The bizarre Cannibal Clan settlement of Andalle, two inbred families that mimic the culture of pre-War America, have their origin in this trope; after the Great War 200 years earlier, the original survivors of the small town resorted to cannibalism to survive after running out of supplies. They coped with their actions by deluding themselves into thinking it was no different than going to a normal job like they had before the apocalypse, "bringing home the bacon" so to speak, which also allowed them to cling to their old lives rather than accepting the fact that America was gone. | |

Farscape Likely due to cultural or alien Blue-and-Orange Morality, D'Argo casually tells a crewmate that he's welcome to eat his body when they end up stranded on an asteroid at the start of Season Two. Lampshaded in "Home on the Remains" when our heroes don't have money to buy food, and John Crichton grimly jokes that they're going to become "the Donner Party of the Uncharted Territories" if they don't get some soon. In "Eat Me", a Mad Scientist stranded on a spaceship has been eating the crew, but cloning them first so his supply lasts longer. Our heroes are not immune to this fate themselves. |

In Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk, the writers stuck in Mr. Whittier's retreat have to resort to this...but really, it's their own damn fault. Once they realized they were stuck in a building for three months, each writer began sabotaging all the dried food to make the experience more marketable. Sure enough, eventually they ran out. When people began dying they had to resort to cannibalism , although it's implied that in at least one case the process was "sped up." The worst case is the first case. | |

Archer: During Season 9, Danger Island, Archer and Pam are held captive by a Cannibal Tribe, and Pam wonders if she'd ever eat a person, and dismisses this trope as an example because "it'd go without saying" if it was that or starving to death, instead focusing on what she'd do if human flesh was just served to her like any other meat. Turns out she would, along with most of the rest of the cast, but said meat came from a platoon of Nazis the cast fought alongside the cannibal tribe, so it's less shocking than it would have been. | |

Parodied in a That Mitchell and Webb Look sketch about Antarctic explorers, where they're on the brink of starvation, but the idea of starting on the hamper of Christmas food before it's actually Christmas is treated like this trope. "We are Englishmen, not animals!"

In Monstrous Regiment soldiers of Borogravia are often forced to eat each other's legs when their rations run out during winter warfare. "Well, it's not done to eat your own leg, is it? You'd go blind." A well-worn corporal insists there is a military rule that it doesn't count as cannibalism if you don't eat the whole person. Even their opponents seem to expect to have to practice this rather than giving up until spring, from the attesting of a Zlobenian sergeant nicknamed "Hopalong". | |

Played for laughs on The Colbert Report during a story about a food shortage - Colbert predicts that his 2012 presidential campaign will be sponsored by 'Sour Cream And Man' flavored Doritos, sees his stage manager in Meat-O-Vision, and ends the show by apparently eating him (the manager having 'tendered' his resignation). One episode had him coming back as a ghost, a la A Christmas Carol. At the end of the show, Stephen Colbert eats his ghost. |

The Feast of Not People festival commemorates how the early settlers of the town (who were actually headed for Florida) resorted to cannibalism to survive the winter, before realizing there was plenty of edible wildlife around. Honeybee finds the whole concept of a festival about cannibalism confusing. | |

The Oregon Trail series: The Oregon Trail II allows you to encounter the same snowstorm that the Donner Party got stuck in. The game also allows you to butcher a draft animal if you run out of food, although you don't get to cannibalize your wagonmates. The Donner Party is actually discussed in the 5th version. Talking about everything that happened to them except what they're most infamous for. When it gets to that part the narrator simply says "They did things to survive that I don't want to talk about." One of the kids says "I heard that they—" before being told to be quiet. They are mentioned briefly in the second version also. They are also discussed in the third version, in which someone in Independence will mention that the person who told them about the shortcut should be charged as a criminal. In the iPod version of the game the leader of the Donner Party shows up in a town and gives your party food, insisting that they've got more than enough to spare. Yeah... Originally, if a member of a player's wagon train died while the train had reached starvation, the player's food supply was to increase slightly. One can guess where said food would have come from. Supposedly, everyone at MECC wanted this to be in the game, but management vetoed it. One that did make it to the final cut of a game was the "save person from drowning" event. You don't get a new party member, but you get food instead. It also has the same icon as hunting and fishing events... |

Ask A Mortician: This YouTuber did an excellent video on the real history of the Donner Party, concluding that it was actually much, much more horrifying and tragic a story than all the Black Comedy around it would suggest. Also comes up in her video on the tragedy of the whaling ship Essex, entitled "The Real Moby Dick Was So Much Worse". Here, she discusses how choosing who the next person to eat wasn't always a case of drawing straws and leaving it to impartial fate, but how family connections, regional loyalty, and racial division can complicate the matter. Existing inequalities can get a lot worse in a survival situation. She completed the trifecta of infamous historical cases of survival cannibalism with "The Rugby Team That Fell From the Sky", on the famous story of the crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 (the one that Alive was about). Like the movie, she found the story's high degree of Heroic Sacrifice more inspiring than disturbing: |

As they're stranded on a sandbar with nothing to eat or drink, Pullo suggests they drink the blood of the bodies that have washed up there, but Vorenus says the blood is salty and the bodies too putrid—fortunately the latter means they can be used as an improvised raft to escape. | |

The Star Diaries: In "The Twenty-eighth Voyage", Ijon Tichy sings the praise of his cousin Arystarch Felix Tichy, a brilliant pioneer of "gastronautics", i.e. the construction of space rockets from edible materials. Ijon Tichy is especially pleased that Arystarch's tasty inventions (such as "macaroni insulation", "cells with alternating currants", or the "semolina noodle drive") have put an end to cannibalism in space, which (he casually mentions) used to be a common occurrence in his youth. Also in "The Twenty-eighth Voyage", Ijon Tichy relates that his ancestor Anonymus Tichy was accused of killing and eating his twin brother while on a one-year voyage in space, undertaken as part of a failed attempt to empirically test the twin paradox (the incriminating evidence was a cookbook discovered in the rocket, with the chapter "Pickling in Outer Space" marked in red). |

Fires on the Plain: Three starving Japanese soldiers are struggling across the island of Leyte in February 1945. One of them takes his rifle, goes hunting, and brings back "monkey meat" for his companions. The third soldier eventually catches his companion hunting a different Japanese soldier and realizes that the "monkey meat" really wasn't monkey. At the end, the hunter kills the other soldier in their three-man party and eats him raw. | |

Jessika Hendricks in World War Z relates to the interviewer how, encouraged by the mass media, many people attempted to escape the Zombie Apocalypse by traveling north into Canada, where the cold winter weather would freeze and immobilize the undead. Few if any of these refugees had any notion of how to live off the land or survive in severe winter weather, and when supplies ran low, the only remaining source of food came from their own dead. | |

In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, an unnamed calamity has pretty much blocked out the sun and killed most of the life on Earth. Human survivors resort to eating each other, keeping captives as food stores and amputating their limbs, presumably to keep the rest of the meat fresh. This also brings new meaning to referring to a pregnant woman as having a "bun in the oven". | |

Subverted in the opening chapter of The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells, in which Prendick and two others are adrift in a dinghy. They draw lots to determine who'll be eaten, but the loser fights back and both of the other men fall overboard and sink like stones, leaving Prendick alone. | |

Jokingly referenced in the CollegeHumor video about airplane safety instructions when the captain assures the passengers that if they crash in the mountains, there's no need to resort to cannibalism for at least one winter. However, if they do run out of food, they're going to start with the third-class passengers and gradually move up to the first class. | |

An episode of the horror anthology Masters of Horror was "The Washingtonians". During the harsh winter at Valley Forge, George Washington and the colonial troops resorted to cannibalism to survive. Unfortunately, Washington developed a taste for human flesh, quickly degenerating into I'm a Humanitarian, and went out of his way to eat it. He professed a desire to turn America into a nation of cannibals. The Washingtonians are a secret conspiracy that has been hiding Washington's true history, as well as indulging in cannibalism themselves. | |

The All Grown Up! special "Interview with a Campfire" has the families attend a camp that is supposedly cursed by a group of pioneers who disappeared during a harsh winter 100 years before, as detailed in a play they put on. Later, Tommy and his group find out what happened to them: they got trapped in a cave, with nothing to do but play cards, and froze to death. Also, Dil's new friend Bean? Actually the ghost of one of the pioneers. | |

If you run out of supplies in Sunless Sea and can't get back to a port to restock in time, you and your crew have the option of resorting to this. It's even referenced in the game's tagline: "Lose your mind. Eat your crew." This is also the trope behind the travails of one of your officers, the Sigil-Ridden Navigator. | |

A recurring element in A Song of Ice and Fire when food runs out — some regions of the Kingdom take a dimmer view of it than others do, but almost all despise outright murder for the cookpot. You're either supposed to wait for somebody to die, first... or for them to offer themselves. There's a bit of a grey area around the subsequent disposal of the bodies of people who have been accidentally murdered or killed due to other reasons; but, hey: protein. The Skagosi are said to not wait, like at all (and, in fact, to outright go hunting) — for which they are roundly despised. When Stannis' army is snowed in, several soldiers are said to have killed and eaten another and are therefore executed for it (although most of the Northmen suspect they didn't, in fact, murder the guy they wound up eating, so think the followers of R'hllor are likely being over-persnickety about this whole affair specifically because they want an excuse to burn a few people for Blood Magic rituals: donner vs sacrificial-magic to a god of an unknown nature — donner wins as being more socially acceptable in the North, if rather more risky to defend with the raving fanatics who tend to burn people alive when crossed). In Astapor, even its rulers were accused of it as the city gradually starved as all its economy came to a grinding halt thanks to being besieged. The common folk definitely resorted to it. There's also suspicion about exactly what kinds of meat go into the bowls of "brown" (cheap stew) they sell in Flea Bottom in King's Landing. Heck, this (well-founded) suspicion/rumour about the stuff remains alive and well even when the realm is in plenty, but when food becomes short due to war, and especially when the Tyrell blockade on trade from the Reach to the Crownlands starts to bite, it's remarkable that the bowls o' brown just keep coming. Regardless. And, winter has only now just started... This was just barely averted during the Siege of Storm's End during Robert's Rebellion. As the siege went on and on, a group of soldiers attempted to desert and surrender to their enemies. Stannis was going to execute them, but his maester advised him to hold onto the men, in case the food shortage became bad enough that they would need to eat them. Only the fact that the smuggler Davos managed to slip through the blockade and bring in a shipment of food not long before the end of the war kept it from happening. In his journey Beyond The Wall, Bran Stark almost starves to death, and, while in the body of his wolf, eats several dead rangers of the Nights Watch. Later, he eats meat which Coldhands claims is pig. There aren't a lot of pigs north of the Wall. |

During Sanji's flashback in One Piece, he and the pirate Zeff are stranded at sea for over two months. Though Sanji rationed his share of the food they'd washed ashore with, it only lasted him 25 days. 45 days later, young Sanji tries to kill Zeff and take his seemingly large remaining share of food, only to find that it was all treasure and the pirate chef had been forced to eat his own foot at the beginning of their time stranded, secretly giving Sanji all the food to keep the boy alive. It's a horrifying reveal for the boy and pretty clearly illustrates why he stays with the "old crap-geezer". In the anime adaption, the chef cuts off his foot in his attempt to save Sanji because it was trapped, and spends the whole time eating nothing. | |

The Nameless City in which The Goon is set is located on the edge of Horse-Eater Wood, named for a group of pioneer who became snowed in there in the old days, and despite eating all their horses, only one of them survived, swearing that she never resorted to this trope. That's the official story anyway, but the tortured ghost of another of the settlers tells us that not only did she resort to cannibalism, she did so enthusiastically and without guilt, and even manipulated him into killing his own wife and children so she could have more. | |

In Life of Pi, this is the nature of the alternate story Pi tells after being found. It also comes up in the narrative proper when he crosses paths with another stranded shipwreck victim, who pretends to be friendly just to get him to come close and then tries to kill and eat him. The tiger's name, Richard Parker, is a reference to the coincidence that multiple people with that name have happened to be involved in real cases of mutiny, shipwrecking, and/or cannibalism. | |

The Bible: During one siege of Israel, King Ahaziah was asked for help by a distressed woman who had made a pact with their neighbour to boil and eat their sons. Her problem? The neighbour had hidden her son away. Book Of Deuteronomy, the Israelites are warned that if they turn away from their God and don't adhere to the laws and rules that were given to them, that this (among other chaos and tragedy) will happen. (On the flip side, they are also told that if they keep the faith and play by the rules, they will have prosperity and stability.) |

Cube 2: Hypercube: The hypercube itself holds multiple timelines, parallel dimensions, and other traps that will kill you. You could run into a copy of someone you saw shredded into ribbons previously who has actually just woken up. The villain eventually starts to hunt down other occupants and their alternate universe counterparts to ward off starvation by eating them. The heroine later encounters the villain looking grey, bedraggled, and covered in the nametags and watches from two of the other trapped victims. Looking at how much older he looks, coupled with the amount of watches and name tags he has, it's inferred he had quite a healthy appetite over the years. | |

A major plot point in Until Dawn. Wendigos are people possessed by the spirit of a dead Wendigo from the act of eating human flesh. During the game's backstory, a group of thirty miners were trapped underground during the winter for the better part of a month, and eventually resorted to eating their dead to survive, becoming the first Wendigos soon after their rescue. This fate also befell Hannah after she was trapped in the mine and was forced to eat her sister's corpse, and it happens to Josh if he survives to the ending. | |

Saturday Night Live: One of the "Delicious Dish" sketches about a fictional NPR cooking show featured host Kelsey Grammer playing nature expert Graham Stanslerthere to share tips on finding food in the wilderness. He first recommends "GORP" (granola, oatmeal, raisins, and peanuts) and bark, moss, and grubs when that runs out. | |

Rats SMP: Tubbo is first found locked in a cupboard with Shelby, allegedly for 3 years as their food supply ran out in the first ten days. This, alongside the lack of sugar, has apparently caused him to turn a nest of ratlings on the lower shelf into "rat burgers" for survival; but Shelby has no recollection of this and didn't know she ate ratlings until Tubbo told her. This also causes him to trick Bek into engaging in cannibalism without her foreknowledge, to just about everyone else's disgust. When the Janitor enters the attic on the hunt in the finale, the rats flee onto the roof and Oli proposes choosing a rat to eat to survive the winter. Everyone objects to this plan of action. |

The Chronicles of Darkness sourcebook Asylum has as one of its sample patients a young woman who was found wandering naked at the foot of a mountain. The book gives two possibilities for what happened to her, both starting with her being locked up in a mountain cabin with her sister when her father discovered she was pregnant. In one option, she was called to join a band of cannibal children who are part of a Hive Mind centered on the mountain, only to break out when she grew old enough and wander out in confusion, leaving her baby behind. The second option is this trope: there are no cannibal children, her baby died shortly after birth because she had no idea how to care for him, and she ultimately had to eat her sister when they were trapped in the cabin by an avalanche. | |

In Game of Thrones, Ser Alliser Thorne of the Night's Watch claimed to have been forced to resort to cannibalism when his patrol got stuck beyond the Wall for months in the midst of winter. Given that he's master-at-arms, it's likely that the Night's Watch considers this something of an occupational hazard. | |

The Magnus Archives: in episode 58, "Trail Rations", the nameless narrator and her husband Benjamin are convinced to continue on the Oregon Trail, despite the lateness of the season, by a guide called Eustace Wick. However, the weather worsens and the characters are forced to take shelter in a cave, where it soon becomes apparent that Wick was planning to eat them all along. The narrator shoots Wick dead just as he slits Benjamin's throat. Alone with the bodies of the two men, she begins to hear her husband's voice urging her to save herself by eating his body, but she decides she would sooner die, writes her statement, and walks out into the storm. | |

Deadtime Stories: Volume 2: In "The Gorge", three cavers are trapped by a cave-in. One of them, Gary, has his leg badly mangled in by a falling rock. Nearly a month into their ordeal, they are reduced to eating hibernating bats to stay alive. Gary's leg goes gangrenous and Donna and Craig are forced to amputate it. Donna and Craig then eat the leg. The taste of the flesh drives them crazy with hunger, and they kill Gary and devour him. This keeps them alive long enough for rescue to arrive. | |

Discussed in Dead In Vinland, but despite it being a survival game where starvation is a likely way to get your party killed, you can't actually do it (as with The Oregon Trail below). The Player Party potentially jokes about it, though Blodeuwedd doesn't find it funny. Villainous henchman Elof also taunts them about this possibility, cracking that if they quarrel they'll soon end up killing and eating each other. | |

Travis, panicking, suggests that if they are in a The Last of Us-situation, they should eat Taliesin and move on. Taliesin instead suggests contacting Ashley Johnson for help, clarifying that he's not just saying that because he doesn't want to submit to cannibalism. | |

In Drowtales, this happens all the time in the commoner classes. When food gets scarce, as it so often does in the drow's underground home and food costs rise, eventually slaves start costing less than food, causing many drow to resort rather quickly to eating their slaves. These slaves can be a wide range of species, from human, to elves and other drow. | |

Snowpiercer: In stark contrast to the movie continuity, this trope did happen but was put a stop to fairly quickly; flashbacks reveal that during the earliest days of The Train, some of the survivors in The Tail formed a cannibal cult and began to feed on the other passengers, only to quickly be dealt with by Layton, who massacred the cult and cut out the leaders heart, which he symbolically ate a piece of alongside the other leaders of the Tail. Cannibalism has remained a taboo ever since, no matter how hungry people got. | |

This trope is suggested as part of Senshi's backstory in Delicious in Dungeon. After being stranded in the dungeon for many days, his crew was whittled down to three people by monster attacks and starving to death. The other two left the room, there was an argument, then a loud struggle, and then only one of them came back, fatally wounded but holding a hunk of meat, saying a monster had attacked them but he managed to kill it. That meat let Senshi survive long enough to be rescued, but it was ambiguous whether the meat he ate came from a monster (a griffin, as the dwarf had claimed) or another dwarf. It is ultimately subverted, however, as Laios deduces that the meat Senshi ate was actually hippogriff. | |

Ravenous (1999): Colqhoun claims that this is what happened to the travel group he was a part of as they got stranded in a cave trying to cross the Sierra Nevadas. After running out of food and killing all their work animals (even Colqhoun's dog), he returned from chopping wood to find the others cooking a slave who had died from malnutrition. Then Horror Hunger took over and the group's leader, Colonel Ives, started killing people to sate it, so Colqhoun left to go get help. Later in the film, it turns out Colqhoun was lying and actually is Colonel Ives, and that he killed and ate the rest of the party. Reich only figures this out as Ives is killing the rest of the Fort Spencer rescue team. Much later in the film, Ives reveals to Boyd that he deliberately got the party lost in the mountains so he could eat them, as he was already a Wendigo by that point. | |

Naturally, Monty Python's Flying Circus approached the topic with its usual levels of taste and restraint — twice in one episode (#26, "The Queen Will Be Watching"): first in the Lifeboat Sketch ("If it's all the same, I'd rather eat Johnson!"), followed by the infamous Undertaker's Sketch ("Look, tell you what, we'll eat her, if you feel a bit guilty about it afterwards, we can dig a grave and you can throw up in it."), which was so outrageous that the execs at the BBC actually demanded a rewrite showing the studio audience storming the stage in disgust, which is honestly a very funny way of ending the scene. On one of the albums, the Lifeboat Sketch is followed by an irate phone call from a Royal Navy officer who objects to the suggestion of cannibalism in the Navy, on the grounds that "the Navy now has the problem relatively under control," and it's now apparently the R.A.F. which has a cannibalism-related problem. | |

In Snowpiercer, back when the train started moving, the tail end was overcrowded and there wasn't any food, so after a month, the strong ate the weak. Eventually, people started offering limbs so that no more people had to die. When the population had been sufficiently reduced, the people up front started giving them "protein bars". | |

In Lucifer's Hammer, the remnants of a National Guard unit start off only killing and eating people because they have a hard time finding anything to eat. Later, they descend into I'm a Humanitarian territory and use forced cannibalism ("You can eat it, or you can be eaten. Your choice.") as a sadistic recruiting tool, since cannibalism "indelibly marks a person, on their soul", making said persons permanently pariah with any "decent" folk. Pretty much the exact same thing happens in the first Emberverse novel, Dies the Fire, where the sudden collapse of infrastructure (including the end of guns) leaves most people with no stockpiles of food and no ability to hunt food. Well, most food except for a certain large animal that has two legs and is easily caught... After the "Eaters" descend into active hunting, they are pretty much killed on sight and shown no quarter, even by the titular good factions. |

When the scientists come to their senses, it cuts back to Johnny after he's prepared Carl like a suckling pig. The scientists decide to eat him again... until the extremely advanced biosphere door is suddenly unlocked by a pizza delivery man that Johnny had managed to signal by blinking a flashlight through a window for the past several days. Johhny promptly takes the pizza and slams the door shut, locking them all in again. | |

Asura. The Kansh� famine forced the titular character's own mother to try to eat him when he was just a baby. Asura himself performed cannibalism as a means of survival until he met a monk. Eight years had passed. Eight years of pure human flesh and blood. | |

An episode of South Park had the residents resorting to cannibalism from being snowed in inside the school gym and eating an entire film crew... Though it had only been four hours, they were just hungry. No one but the mayor feels guilty over it. They started with Eric Roberts, who was only there because he'd accepted a bit part on America's Most Wanted (for those who might not remember him for his TV work, he was in The Killers "Mr. Brightside" video): They end up eating both the director and the assistant as well. Keep in mind, they ate three people and were stuck in the school gym for maybe 10 hours. Oh, and Mr. Garrison brought some Eric Roberts home in a doggy bag. During the Black Friday Trilogy, one of the people being interviewed is a father who ate his own 5-year-old while waiting outside the mall for Black Friday. |

The Martian: When the crew of the Hermes decide to return to Mars to rescue Mark Watney, a probe of supplies is put together to provide the food they'll need. During a video chat with her father, Beth Johanssen admits to him that the crew have come up with a contingency plan if something goes wrong with the probe: they'll all kill themselves to provide Beth, who's the youngest, smallest (so needs the least food), and has the necessary skillset to fly alone, with enough meat to sustain herself on the way back to Earth. | |

Parodied in an episode of RWBY Chibi. Sun, Jaune, and Ren do an escape room while supervised by Qrow, however Sun proceeds to panic, disregarding the obvious clues and believing they'll never get out, much to Qrow's chagrin. He immediately decides they must eat Jaune to avoid starvation, a proposal Ren actually considers, remarking his teammate is 'tender'. All is resolved when Yang accidentally punches through their wall while trying to do her own escape room challenge. | |

You can find a stranger in Red Dead Redemption 2 who will tell you a story about a fictionalized version of the Donner Party in which he was involved in his youth. His brother who he hadn't from in years wrote and asked him to help his family move out west, he said yes. He ditched the wagon train once things turned south and he later found out that they got stuck and had to resort to eating each other even though there ended up being no survivors. | |

The Fruit of Grisaia: Amane Suou's route features a high school field trip bus crash in an isolated forest in the mountains. Weeks pass without help and eventually with the food supply having dropped to effectively nothing, the survivors first eat the dead puppy that a student smuggled with her to a field trip. That doesn't sustain them long enough as eventually some of the students start passing away from malnutrition or their injuries from the crash. The teacher 'conveniently finds' some meat at this point and distributes them to the students (Kazuki Kazami, a student partnered with Amane, refuses to eat it and successfully advises Amane to do likewise.) The meat turns out to be the remains of the dead students which he was supposed to have respectfully buried. Amane and Kazuki attempt to make their escape once it becomes apparent that at some point the teacher and the other students start to mentally degrade out of hunger and desperation to an aggressive ghoul state where they won't even wait for the other students to die on their own before consuming them. | |

At the beginning, of Pirates, the two pirate leads, Captain Red (Walter Matthau) and Frog (Cris Campion) are drifting on a raft with no land or food in sight, and Frog tries his best to fish. After a while, Captain Red snaps and attempts to kill Frog to eat him, until both of them spot the Spanish galleon on the horizon. | |

Family Guy One seafaring episode features Peter, Cleveland, Quagmire, and Joe clinging to a makeshift life raft made from inflatable sex dolls. (No prize for guessing the identity of their owner.) While one of the others complains of hunger, Peter covertly munches on something with his back turned. The paraplegic Joe notices this and wrests the food away, only to discover that Peter has devoured Joe's useless and unfelt legs, leaving bloody stumps. Joe freaks out, of course. And in the Y2K-bug apocalypse episode, Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons eat their news crew colleague Tricia Takanawa. Another episode had the Griffins racing up Mt. Everest against The Fishmans, another family they'd become rivals with, but a massive snowstorm hits the mountain, and the Griffins get lost and run out of food due to Peter's poor packing (he thought Lois told him to bring a mix tape rather than trail mix for provisions), only to discover the Fishmans' son Ben dead from exposure. Rather than die from starvation and cold, Brian suggests they eat him, though the whole family is very reluctant...with the exception of Peter, who doesn't even wait for them to stop talking. Stewie later lampshades them resorting to cannibalism instead. |

In one of the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brian, the heroes and some crewmembers are stranded in a lifeboat for an extended period of time. One man dies, and the next morning there is an obvious bite taken out of his leg, but everyone politely refrains from mentioning it. (They are rescued before things get much worse.) | |

In Rimworld, it is possible to order your colonists to butcher and skin human corpses for meat and hides. This is generally an absolute last resort to fend off starvation when there is no other food available, as butchering and eating human meat will severely impact the morale of your colonists unless they have the Cannibal, Bloodlust or Psychopath traits. If you start in an arctic biome (where wildlife is scarce and crops are impossible to grow) then cannibalism may be a requirement for survival. | |

In the third installment, The Stone Sky, a group of captured raiders are offered the chance to join the community of Castrima as the comm makes their way to a refuge across an ash-covered desert with limited supplies. The smart captives promptly agree to take jobs of hard labor. The most-stupid captive mouths off at Castrima's leader. She instantly kills him. That night; Castrima has a rich stew for dinner, which everyone eats because they know they need the protein and calories to survive crossing the desert. "You don't think about the meat." | |

In Hollow Knight, it is implied to have happened at some point in the City of Tears. In the pleasure house, you can find a kitchen that is littered with the corpses of sentient bugs. You can talk to the ghost of one of the corpses, who calls himself a "big, juicy, fatty oily... scrumptious bug" and wonders if it will be dinner time soon. It is unclear if the bugs started to eat their own before or after the magical plague that turns bugs hostile to life reached the city itself. | |

Played with a few times in Gravity Falls: In the episode "Northwest Mansion Mystery", Preston Northwest says that they're keeping a butler in the family's panic room so they can eat him if they run out of food. In the episode "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls", Stan says that after the supplies run out, the plan is to eat the gnomes. Jeff, a gnome who is right next to him, objects. |
