* Roadblack from ''Franchise/GIJoe'' first joined the army intending to be this, but he found military cooking techniques appalling, and transferred the infantry. Many stories imply he still plans to become a proper chef after retiring. One issue showed Roadblock's range: as part of TrainingFromHell for prospective new Joes, he served up "mystery meat on a shingle" that had one candidate wondering how it got so grey, but after the trials were over, the three that made it onto the team were treated to an incredible feast.

In fiction, camp cooks tend to be a source of comic relief, with many a gag about their [[LethalChef horrible cooking]] or [[KlatchianCoffee coffee]], and their inability to take criticism on the subject.

* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'': In Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Shards of Honor'', Yeoman Nilesa is this for a large number of Barrayaran soldiers (young men who clearly miss "home cooking" and have evidently not been shy about letting the yeoman know their opinions of his culinary offerings). He is correspondingly surly and hostile. When the protagonist (who has just spent a considerable period hiking through a wilderness with nothing to eat but packets of instant oatmeal and artificial blue cheese salad dressing) samples his food ("a stew-like substance, and real bread with genuine vegetable oil spread") she sincerely declares it to be delicious, causing a rather startling change in poor Nilesa's attitude.

* The poem [[https://allpoetry.com/Boomer-Johnson "Boomer Johnson"]] by Henry Herbert Knibbs is about an [[TheGunslinger gunslinger]] who takes a job as a camp cook when age starts slowing his quick draw. He's still scary enough that the others don't ''dare'' refuse to eat his cooking, until he finally pushes the narrator too far.
