A Dictionary of Diet; Being a Practical Treatise on All Pabulary and Nutritive Substances, Solid and Fluid, With Their Compounds Used As Food
by J. S. Forsyth, 1833
Death makes me hungry. Maybe it’s because I’ve been emptied; or maybe it’s the body’s way of seeing to it that I remain alive, continue to repeat its bedrock prayer: I am, I am. I am, still.
I want to go to bed, make love, right now.
I think of the word relish.
I could eat a horse.
-Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

And in many places, the cuts were grouped, in parallel, at key sites of muscle and ligament attachment.

I can tell you're admiring my febrility. I know it's appealing, I practice at it; every woman loves an invalid. But be careful. You might do something destructive: hunger is more basic than love. Florence Nightingale was a cannibal you know.
