Instances when consumed

 * Whilst eating a plate of baked beans, Clyde Langer asked Mr Smith to tell him about the Slitheen-Blathereen family. When Mr Smith recalled the Blathereen "farting themselves to death", Clyde jokingly asked if he would suffer the same fate. Mr Smith assured him that it was scientifically impossible for a human to be filled with methane on a scale that causes death in the manner of the Blathereen and it was safe to continue eating.
