In this chapter, the young narrator is introduced to the world of food. He asks the waiter if he has strawberry creme brulee. The waiter tells him that there is only one left. The young narrator asks if he can have it. He tells the waiter that he is a real foodie and that to this day he had never known that pudding was good with honey. He says that he may be married, but that he was still "far from being experienced." He asks why he is staring at him with such lusty eyes. The man replies that he has come home to have a good night's sleep. He then asks why the man is so strong. The narrator says that since he married her, he has never set foot on the kitchen floor. He compares him to a "hypocrite" who lives like he never has to do a task in his life.
