Hungry DogsHungry dogs will eat dirty puddings. “To the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.” (Prov. xxvii. 7.) “When bread is wanting oaten cakes are excellent.” Latin: “Jejunus raro stomachus vulgaria temnit.” (Horace.) French: “A la faim il n'y a point de mauvais pain.” “A ventre affameé tout est bon.” “Ventre affamé n'a point d'oreilles.” Italian: “L'asino chi a fame mangia d'ogni strame.” German: “Wem kase und brod nicht schmeckt, der ist nicht hungrig.” Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E.
