Nobody acted circumspect or reticent when presented with Mrs. Weasley's cooking. On the contrary, they would act querulous and lack deference if they were not the first in line to try her delicious food. Even though waiting in line meant forestalling the scrumptious concoctions, those waiting in line husbanded their energy so they may later propitiate their appetite. When the food reached their mouth, all the recipients' gastronomical cavities were very plastic which enervated all other senses except the sense of taste. Listless and melancholy when all the food had disappeared, all guests at the Weasley kitchen glibly recited numerous elegies and dirges remembering the food while it lasted. But how was such a beautiful meal to be reincarnated? All members of the table, even dilettantes such as Hermione's cat Crookshanks, partook in a machination to encourage Mrs. Weasley to cook more...muahahaha.
