Rabelais, Gargantua and Pantagruel, relates how, in the kingdom of the Fifth Essence, called Entelechy, where the queen only ate certain categories for lunch: ideas, truths, images, abstractions, concepts, dreams, ulterior motives, nightmares, antitheses, metempsychoses and transcendental anticipations (Book Five, Chapter XX), a dinner was offered at which, although the queen only ate heavenly ambrosia, all kinds of rare, tempting and exquisite dishes were served, finishing with a stew consisting of various soups, salads, fricassées, roast kid, boiled meats, large pieces of ox, pickled hams, pastries, a whole range of couscous in the Moorish fashion, cakes, curdled milk, ices and fruits of all kinds and, of course, cheeses (Part Five, Chapter XXIII).
