Interesting Fact

In Japan, prisoners on death row can request a final meal before their execution. Historical records show requests ranging from simple bowls of rice to surprisingly ordinary comfort foods. Faced with one last chance to eat, many people choose familiar meals rather than luxury dishes.

Memory Trick

The top is a buffet lid. The bottom is a mountain of food. The moment the lid opens, everyone charges forward. That's 食.
