* ''Literature/LittleRedRidingHood'' used to have more gruesome elements to it. In certain once-common tellings, the Big Bad Wolf didn't just eat Red Riding Hood's grandmother -- he fed her the leftovers.
** The Newgrounds flash animation Red Riding Hood features this.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'', the 2006 animated adaptation of this story, features a FridgeLogic example: a few police officers seen at Granny's house are pigs. But at the same time, we learn that Kirk sells schnitzel on a stick out of a truck. Schnitzel, for the record, is created from pork, which comes from pigs. Unless we to assume there are two different kinds of pigs - sentient and non-sentient types - existing in this part of the forest, you wonder what would happen if a pig ate something from Kirk's truck.
* In some versions of ''Literature/SnowWhite'', the evil queen wants Snow White's heart returned to her by the woodsman to eat (and also possibly regain youth and beauty, like historical pseudo-vampire Elizabeth Bathory, who [[BloodBath bathed in young girls' blood for this reason]], following local folklore).
** In the original version from Creator/TheBrothersGrimm, it's not the heart, but the lungs and the liver. The queen eats them (that really belonged to a young boar).
* In ''Literature/SunMoonAndTalia'' (a forerunner of "Literature/SleepingBeauty"), the King (not Prince) already has a wife who, in jealousy, has Talia's (Sleeping Beauty's) children sent to the palace chef to be killed.

** In Perrault's ''Literature/SleepingBeauty'', the only difference is the woman trying to eat them is her mother-in-law (and there is no rape and the kids are born in wedlock). The mother-in-law even insists on having Sleeping Beauty and her children cooked in ''sauce Robert''.
** There's one variation that's arguably even worse, where Sleeping Beauty, realizing she's got two [[ChildByRape children by rape]], '''eats them'''.

* In ''[[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/cinderella/stories/birch.html The Wonderful Birch]]'' the girl's biological mother is turned into a sheep by a witch. The witch then takes the mother's form and convinces the girl's father to kill the sheep and have it for dinner. The mother-turned-sheep instructs her daughter not to eat the meat but instead bury the bones under a tree, so she can later help the girl.
