b.) Between between meal snacks.

"What do you call when a girl doesn't wanna eat?"

"'E's a terrible man," moans the host. "The seven plagues of Egypt all rolled into one. There ain't an officers mess in the entire Brandenburg military zone as don't live in fear of a visit from 'im. They do say as he was at a dinner with the Reichsmarschall an' before the guests were finished with their hors d'oeuvres 'e'd eat everythin' laid out on the table includin' the bloody flower decorations. Another time 'e ruined Herr Goring's electric train by loadin' it up with diced pork. There was three cooks standin' at the other end of the track choppin' up suckin' pigs as'd been roasted on a spit into little bits and loadin' up. When the train passed 'im 'e'd empty the wagons. By the time 'e'd finished the train was that greased up it took the Reichsmarschall an' all 'is train specialists three weeks to get it runnin' proper again. They do say as 'e was the indirect cause the Luftwaffe didn't win the Battle of Britain."

"Thanks," he mumbled, and stuffed a couple of the fries into his mouth. "I'm still hungry."
"How can you be hungry?" I asked in disbelief.
"I really work up an appetite out there on the road."
An appetite was one thing, but the way he could pack it away was another thing entirely. He'd already eaten two cheeseburgers, a large order of fries, a huge hunk of apple pie topped with ice cream and a gigantic salad, and washed it all down with a chocolate milkshake.
"In Newfoundland I had a waitress watch me eat and she asked me if I had a hollow leg," Terry said.

Susie: Hmm...a little thick on the frosting.
Ralsei: ...Th...that was for sharing!
Susie: Hey, anyone was free to make an interception.

"I'm not full yet! I can still eat! Bring me more food!"

Kevin: I thought you were joking when you said you were going to buy everything they had left... The girl behind the counter looked like she thought you were a freak of nature.
Ries: This is just another example of Aidios' divine providence. It's better that they're bought by someone who intends to consume them than to have the poor things be thrown away.
Kevin: Yeah, yeah. You're a real bleeding heart. But THAT much? I hope you're not spending your entire salary on food.
Ries: I'll have you know that you have nothing to worry about. There are few people who know how to make better use of sales and special offers than I.

Firis: Oh! Then why don't we build a place in town where people can go camping!?
Nelke: Hmm.. I have to say, that seems like a lot of work just to go camping. It seems kind of...odd.

Murphy: "I only eat three meals a day!"

Clerk: There aren't enough pigs in the country, sir.
Heffer: Hmmm. How about one and a side of fries?

"Giggle pixie Elizabeth Banks said that no one loves cake more than Jennifer Lawrence, which would seem like a really shitty, passive-aggressive jab if not for two indisputable facts: Elizabeth Banks is delightful and JLaw totally stole the first piece of Banks's birthday cake like some sort of birthday tax assessor.

Steve Kerr on NBA Open Court, quoting Toni Kukoc about his huge pregame meal Note

"But then, in panel three, we abruptly shift gears, and realize those emails are about something else we know about Dagwood: that he is a limitless appetite, a nightmarish spatial anomaly who can take any amount of foodstuff down his infinite gullet. Just imagine Lou at the diner, the sloshing sea of subpar chili reaching his chin. 'Who usually ate all this,' he asks, baffled. 'Where is it coming from? Where does it usually go?' He can hardly breathe from the smell. 'Where’s Dagwood? Why didn't Dagwood tell us he was leaving? Why didn't we make plans?'"
