All talking animals and birds, especially ones that are edible, in The Simpsons do so with a, probably faux, English accent.

"He's insulting both of us!" - a chicken
"Personally, I think I am overdone" - a roast chicken in a oven
"There! There! Thats the spirit!" - a pig, dressed like a Wodehousian Englishman
"The tasty part is in the rump" - a suckling pig
