I am very hungry.

I have a keen appetite.

I am dying with hunger.

Is there any thing ready to eat or not?

What do you wish to eat?

I can eat boiled rice, or fish, or greens.

Dinner is on the table.

Sit down to eat. Sit here, friend.

What will you eat? What shall I give you?

Give some water to drink.

What's this? there is no salt on the table.

Will you drink wine with me?

Fill the glass.

Why is not Mr. here to-day.

Will you eat some meat? Here is beef, and mutton, kid, and pork. Is this duck good or not? This is excellent sauce: call the cook, and ask him how it is made.

Where did you get this excellent fruit?

Mangoes, pine-apples, guavas, custard-apples, and grapes.

Shall I cut this melon? Take a piece.

I never saw so good fruit in Bengal.

I am satisfied.

I have had enough.
