it made me hungry

The food looked scrumptious.  There was piping-hot sea urchin soup and grilled Spanish mackerel (with sour cream), white asparagus with sesame-seed dressing, a lettuce-and-cucumber salad, and a warm roll with a pat of butter.  There was also a big glass of grape juice.

(p.11-12)


Yet the very next evening, the mystery girl showed up again.  This time she brought Toulouse sausage with potato salad, stuffed snapper, radish-sprout salad, a large croissant, and black tea sweetened with honey.  Just looking at all of it made me hungry.
