Is that the usual way to say it in English?

@Pfirsichbaeumchen Well, we have a lot of expressions that have to do with being hungry. I feel like I've heard "I'm so hungry, I could eat a ________" more than I've heard "I'm as hungry as ________," but both work, and I don't think there's one specific animal you have to fill in the blanks with.
