A mealtime observation

[thebitterguy]

YHB was feeling rather full, while the bbq buffet continued to tempt. He contemplated a quick visit to the vomitorium (vomitaurium?), which prompted horror from his dining companion.

"My dear", he pointed out, "the difference between an epicure and someone with an eating disorder is that the epicure is doing it so he can go back for seconds."

My vote's for vomitarium.

A vomitorium is part of an amphitheatre-- it's where the actors come out when they go on stage. Several high-profile flubs have led to perhaps the first truly urban (hey, Rome was a city) legend.

I am illuminated. Thanks!

I still wish I could have gone back for seconds. Yummy.
