Saw this hilarious passage at Mike Gilleland's blog:
Apelles gave us a supper as if he had butchered a garden,
thinking he was feeding sheep and not friends.
There were radishes, chicory, fenugreek, lettuces, leeks, onions,
basil, mint, rue, and asparagus.
I was afraid that, after all these things, he would serve me with hay,
so when I had eaten some half-soaked lupins, I went off.
That's what it's like being a carnivore invited to a vegetarian meal.
