"You rifle through every dish that's served:  sow's paps, pigs ears,
enough woodcock for two, half a mullet and an entire pike,
filet of moray eel, a pullet thigh, a dove dripping with sauce.
When it is all wrapped well between the corners of an oil-soaked
napkin,
you pass it to your servant who carries it home;
while we remain seated there and can do nothing.
Give us back our meal, if yo8u have even the slightest shame.
I did not invite you for tomorrow, Caecilianus."

Martial 2,37

Guess they're right.
