”On
this coast I felt for the first time what
a pleasant thing it could be to have a
meal. We started eating and drinking, the
conversation became animated.
I at last realized that eating was a
spiritual function and that meat, bread
and wine were the raw materials from which
the soul is made” Zorba the Greek
