More From Plutarch

A human body in no way resembles those that were born for ravenousness; it hath no hawk's bill, no sharp talon, no roughness of teeth, no such strength of stomach or heat of digestion, as can be sufficient to convert or alter such heavy and fleshy fare . . . there is nobody that is willing to eat even a lifeless and a dead thing even as it is; so they boil it, and roast it, and alter it by fire and medicines, as it were, changing and quenching the slaughtered gore with thousands of sweet sauces, that the palate being thereby deceived may admit of such uncouth fare.

My uncle ordered popovers from the restaurant's bill of fare. and, when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare. then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair: "to eat these things," said my uncle, "you must exercise great care. you may swallow down what's solid, but you must spit out the air!" and as you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good advice to follow. do a lot of spitting out the hot air. and be careful what you swallow.
