The Restaurant at the End of the Universe offers meat-dishes made from a cow-like sentient being that actively WANTS you to eat it.

"Thanks for ordering. I'm going to kill myself now, but don't worry: I'll do it humanely."

Spoo are tiny, pasty, mealworm-like creatures that travel slowly in herds. Their main behavior is sighing, which "can reportedly induce unparalleled bouts of depression". Their taste is supposed to be delicious, but the creatures themselves are regarded by most intelligent species with contempt. They "are the only creatures of which the Interstellar Animal Rights Protection League says, simply, 'Kill 'em.'"
