Had he not tasted meat lately?
The piglet was a little too small to feed both of them properly. Jude would give the bigger portion to Lupo, since a carnivore needed a lot of meat to grow. He only needed a little himself, since all he wanted was some boiled pork.
"For now, eat this first."
He took the liver and the innards and fed them to Lupo. After that, he cut the meat into its parts, thigh, belly, shoulder and so on, though they were so small that it was hard to tell them apart. When he was done, he put all the spices into the pot before adding the meat.
"Is this really going to be boiled pork or what?"
The best moment to eat it was while the meat was simmering gently. The taste did not matter much, since the fresh pickles would take care of it. Meanwhile, Lupo had already devoured all the innards and was about to start on his share of the meat.
"Eat the rest with me."
Jude rubbed his back as he said it. Lupo sniffed the meat for a moment, then sat still and waited.
