While reading "Dinner with Trimalcheo" I found it to be extremly confusing to me. Having it be confusing through out most of the reading it was, also long, which was not helping me get through it and understand it any better. The part I found to be most interesting is the amount of food at these feast. It seems like there was an unlimited supply of this food. While reading this I was thinking about today's society and in today's world people still gather for meals and/or events. There is always enough food for everyone, but in the article it really sounded like there was a lot of food and all they did was continue to eat. I also like how the food is connected to Zodiac symbols and how it reflects back to having a variety of different types of food. The picture I have is something that would remind me of some types of foods that would be served at a gathering in today's world with a large amount of people, while having just the amount of food for everyone.
This clip I found to be very interesting. Watching it was something so different since situations like this do not happy in modern society. I also was googling different ideas from the reading online and I found this interesting website about the pig. I really enjoyed it because of the picture, which is below and also it was something I was able to understand!
I have to agree with you, it was confusing at times and I couldn't piece the story together. I also wondered how they got the unlimited amounts of food to eat daily.
