== Anime and Manga ==
* The mushi in ''[[Mushishi]]'' were often fond of eating strange things. People could have their eyes consumed, their memories consumed, their dreams consumed, their "life force" consumed, etc. One particularly strange example involved a mushi that could take a recently dead human corpse, eat the "lifespan" of that corpse and revert them into an embryonic form that could be implanted into a pregnant woman. (Of course, most of these examples aren't nearly as [[
* Natsume from the ''[[Mermaid Saga]]'' [[Came Back Wrong]] after being brought back from the dead using a mermaid's liver. As a result, she now exclusively eats livers, be it those of animals or humans.

* The [[Aztec Mythology|Aztec]] ahuizotl only ate eyes, toenails, and fingernails.
* It is common among cannibalistic peoples not only to be picky about what parts to eat but about which people to eat. As eating is often held to absorb someones moral characteristics as well as their physical ones, they go out of their way to be sure to eat a [[Worthy Opponent]] . In other words if you ever get eaten just [[Fridge Logic|consider it a compliment]]!
